I’ve just come across the national Film Board of Canada’s repository of animated short films online. There are 319 of them (though Madame Tutli-Putli also has its trailer, for some reason, so that’s 318, I guess).

They’re part of its wider collection of 1000+ live action, experimental and documentary films online. You can search the whole collection by film type, and also language. Unfortunately you can’t search the animation section by animation style, which would be really useful – I’d love to be able to just filter the puppet films, obviously.

But there’s lots of good stuff here. This one is Le Noeud Cravate by Jean-François Lévesque. Which means something like a knotted tie in English. No – I have no idea either…
