October 28 is International Animation Day, and that provides us with a great opportunity to revisit some of our classics. Instead of suggesting a list of films for you to watch, how about a little game instead? I\u2019ll ask 10 questions to put your knowledge to the test.<\/p>\n

Ready? Let\u2019s have some fun.<\/p>\n

This Norman McLaren film won an Oscar for best documentary short in 1952, even though it\u2019s an animated film. Which of these films is it?<\/p>\n

A) Pas<\/em> de deux<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

B) Neighbours<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

C) A Chairy Tale<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

D) Universe<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Answer: B) Neighbours<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This oddity is probably due to the fact that, at the time, the category of \u201cBest Short Subject (Cartoon)\u201d was dominated by cel animation. Members of the Academy may have been taken by surprise by McLaren\u2019s use of pixillation, which consists of filming people and objects one shot at a time\u2014a technique that was not well-known in the 1950s.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Getting Started<\/em><\/strong> (1979), animation filmmaker Richard Condie features a character who has a hard time rolling up his sleeves and practising a piece of music he needs to play at an important concert. What instrument does this person play?<\/p>\n

A) Guitar<\/p>\n

B) Saxophone<\/p>\n

C) Piano<\/p>\n

D) Flute<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Answer: C) Piano<\/p>\n

This gem of a film from our famed Winnipeg animation studio tells the story of a concert pianist distracted by everything around him in his apartment, and unable to start practising. A truly hilarious short by the great Richard Condie. You\u2019ll want to watch it over and over again.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1976, Jacques Drouin made Mindscape<\/em><\/strong>, a masterpiece that entices us with its beauty, depth and emotional power. What animation technique did he use to make the film?<\/p>\n

A) Drawing on film stock<\/p>\n

B) Rotoscope<\/p>\n

C) Pinscreen<\/p>\n

D) Etching on film stock<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Answer: C) Pinscreen<\/p>\n

Invented by Alexandre Alexe\u00efeff and Claire Parker, the pinscreen was Jacques Drouin\u2019s artistic tool of choice throughout his remarkable and long career at the NFB. Over more than 30 years, he made six extraordinary films, becoming the grand master of pinscreen animation\u2014an unusual and exacting technique.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Sweater<\/em><\/strong> (1980), by Sheldon Cohen, is adapted from the story Une abominable feuille d\u2019\u00e9rable sur la glace, <\/em>or Le chandail de hockey, <\/em>translated into English as The Hockey Sweater<\/em>. Who is the author of the original story?<\/p>\n

A) Roch Carrier<\/p>\n

B) F\u00e9lix Leclerc<\/p>\n

C) Michel Tremblay<\/p>\n

D) Sheldon Cohen<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Answer: A) Roch Carrier<\/p>\n

Written by Roch Carrier and published in 1979, The Hockey Sweater<\/em> tells the story of a boy who orders a sweater of his favourite team\u2014the Montreal Canadiens\u2014from the Eaton\u2019s company catalogue. To his horror, instead he receives a sweater of the team\u2019s sworn enemies: the Toronto Maple Leafs. Like Carrier\u2019s story, Cohen\u2019s film was a big hit. It\u2019s still the favourite animated film of many Canadians, including legendary hockey player Wayne Gretzky.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1957, Norman McLaren and Claude Jutra co-directed the short film A Chairy Tale<\/em><\/strong>. McLaren originally intended it to be a silent film, but in the end incorporated music by which famous musician?<\/p>\n

A) Igor Stravinsky<\/p>\n

B) Ravi Shankar<\/p>\n

C) Oscar Peterson<\/p>\n

D) John Coltrane<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Answer: B) Ravi Shankar<\/p>\n

After editing was complete, McLaren realized the final film needed music. But by whom? The answer came to him while watching a concert by Indian musician and composer Ravi Shankar on TV; he immediately realized that this was the solution to his problem. So, McLaren invited Shankar to the NFB to compose music for the film. McLaren was hoping for a combination of Hindu and Western sounds.[1]<\/a> In 1957, Shankar and percussionist Chatur Lau arrived at the NFB\u2019s animation studio on C\u00f4te-de-Liesse Road, in the Montreal suburb Saint-Laurent, to watch the film and get to work.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the short film The Big Snit<\/em><\/strong> (1985), by Richard Condie, the female character has a habit that really gets on her husband\u2019s nerves. What is it?<\/p>\n

A) She is constantly vacuuming.<\/p>\n

B) She cheats at Scrabble.<\/p>\n

C) She watches too much TV.<\/p>\n

D) She keeps shaking her eyes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Answer: D) She keeps shaking her eyes.<\/p>\n

After directing Getting Started<\/em><\/strong> (1979), John Law and the Mississippi Bubble<\/em><\/strong> (1979), and Pigbird<\/em><\/strong> (1981), Richard Condie returned in 1985 with the hugely successful The Big Snit<\/em><\/strong>. It tells the story of a couple playing Scrabble together one afternoon. The man cheats by looking at his partner\u2019s tiles; meanwhile, she has the infuriating habit of removing her eyes and shaking them every time he\u2019s ready to play a turn. The scene is set for conflict to erupt. But how important is their fight, when a global nuclear war is raging outside? This is another hilarious Condie film that\u2019s not to be missed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1952, Colin Low made his first cel animation film at the NFB: The Romance of Transportation in Canada<\/em><\/strong>. The film was very successful and won many international awards. Which of the following prizes did it not win?<\/p>\n

A) Oscar for best animated short<\/p>\n

B) Best animated short at the Cannes Film Festival<\/p>\n

C) BAFTA Special Award<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Answer: A) Oscar for best animated short.<\/p>\n

The film was nominated for an Oscar in the category of \u201cBest Short Subject (Cartoon)\u201d but did not take home the statuette. Instead, it went to Johann Mouse<\/em>, from the Tom and Jerry <\/em>series, directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, and produced by MGM Cartoons.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This film by Alison Snowden and David Fine won nearly two dozen awards, including an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. In fact, it was so successful that it spawned its own animated TV series. What is the name of the film?<\/p>\n

A) Four<\/strong><\/em> Seasons in the Life of Ludovic<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

B) Animal<\/strong><\/em> Behaviour<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

C) Bob\u2019s<\/strong><\/em> Birthday<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

D) Shaun the Sheep<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Answer: C) Bob\u2019s Birthday<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bob\u2019s Birthday<\/em><\/strong> led to the TV series Bob and Margaret<\/em>, featuring the two main characters from the NFB film. The series ran for four 13-episode seasons on the BBC and Channel 4 in the UK, Comedy Central and Showtime in the US, and Global in Canada.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2014, to mark the 75th anniversary of the NFB, Canada Post released a collection of five stamps, featuring five popular NFB films, including Mon oncle Antoine<\/em><\/strong> (1971), by Claude Jutra, Flamenco at 5:15<\/em><\/strong> (1983), by Cynthia Scott, Neighbours <\/em><\/strong>(1952), by Norman McLaren, and The Railrodder<\/em><\/strong> (1965), by Gerald Potterton. What was the fifth film?<\/p>\n

A) The<\/strong><\/em> Sand Castle <\/em><\/strong>(1977), by Co Hoedeman<\/p>\n

B) Canada Vignettes: Log Driver\u2019s Waltz<\/em><\/strong> (1979), by John Weldon<\/p>\n

C) The<\/strong><\/em> Street<\/em><\/strong> (1976), by Caroline Leaf<\/p>\n

D) The Great Toy Robbery<\/em><\/strong> (1963), by Jeff Hale<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Answer: B) Canada Vignettes: Log Driver\u2019s Waltz<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This little jewel of a film by John Weldon features music by Wade Hemsworth, arranged and performed by sisters Kate and Anna McGarrigle, and is still one of the most popular titles in our collection. It\u2019s not surprising that it was one of the films selected by Canada Post as part of a collection of stamps honouring the NFB.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This animated film is a real work of art. It won an award at the Berlin International Film Festival, contains a passage from a famous speech and was made with a seldom-used animation technique. What is the name of the film?<\/p>\n

A) Begone<\/strong><\/em> Dull Care<\/em><\/strong> (1949), by Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart<\/p>\n

B) La plante humaine<\/em><\/strong> (1996), by Pierre H\u00e9bert<\/p>\n

C) Paradise<\/strong><\/em> (1984), by Ishu Patel<\/p>\n

D) Black<\/strong><\/em> Soul<\/em><\/strong> (2000), by Martine Chartrand<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Answer: D) Black Soul<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>This outstanding film by director Martine Chartrand is about the history and rich culture of Black peoples, their challenges and their hopes. It won two dozen international awards, including a Golden Bear at Berlin in 2001. The film includes an excerpt from Martin Luther King\u2019s famous \u201cI have a dream\u201d speech and was made using the animation technique of painting on glass.<\/p>\n
