thank you for the beg on the story of a sign short film, aspartam!
I happen to agree w/ you!
I had submitted it before, the link went dead (temporary thing w/ nfb on youtube and I couldn't find it anywhere else...plus it only had 3 votes) so I killed it...then it popped up again and now here you are saving it! yeay!

Thanks, schmawy! I actually resubmitted that video and got it sifted a few months ago, so I had to * kill the promoted one... Thanks anyway, though.

Probably my favourite NFB short ever.

It's not as original as you think. It was done in 1952, right down to the leaping down the street...

firefly does bring the quality -- go, little glowy insect, go!

I found your Hockey Sweater vid that was soooo close to front page and have saved it. So awesome.

An excerpt from wiki:
"The Hockey Sweater" ("Le chandail de hockey" in the original French) is a short story published in 1979 by Quebec author Roch Carrier.

Though a relatively recent story, it has become one of the best-known works of literature in Canada. It was made into a National Film Board of Canada (NFB) animated short in 1980, known as The Sweater, or Le Chandail. The short is often shown, in both French and English, to elementary school students, making it very well known amongst Canadian youth.

The story is widely considered an allegory for the linguistic and cultural tensions between anglophone and francophone Canadians, and an essential classic of Canadian literature. An excerpt from the story is now also commemorated in both official languages of Canada on the back of the Canadian five-dollar bill."

Any Canadian sifters familiar with this?
