Historicist: "The city that nobody loves"
Elsewhere in the Ist-a-Verse
J. Kelly Nestruck tipped us off to this gold mine. The NFB has uploaded 50 of their animated shorts to their site. J. Kelly gets to relive some elementary school memories by playing The Cat Came Back over and over again we get to procrastinate posting on Torontoist. Everyone wins.

The Cat Came Back! Holy crap, I used to watch that movie allllll the time up in my parent's bedroom. I totally forgot it ever existed...that's crazy.
Oh NFB, how I love thee. The Cat Came Back, The Big Snit, even that really cool one about maps and grapefruit... how wonderful.
Sadly, the pinnacle of Canadiana animation is missing - there's no Log-driver's Waltz. :(
Ask and you shall receive.
boy reporter, you are my hero.
The Cat Came Back was one of my favourites, what a classic childhood video. I always cheered on that blank-faced puss, while my sister was an avid fan of Mr. Johnson. Also classic 80's child videomania is The Log Driver's Waltz.
Oh Boy Reporter! You have brought a giant smile to my face...
Never again shall I tell my friends and acquaintances and strangers on the street that "That Ron guy is shifty-eyed and doesn't drink enough tea."
Thank you!!!! Boy Reporter for that link, one of my old-time fav. Back in the day, I wanted to be a log roller (that and Beachcommers) and sing that song.
