Cartoon Night in Canada

We're on a nostalgic journey to dig through Canada's animated past.

This week, join us in reflecting on the 2nd time Quebec tried to leave Canada, and how that's like trying to fix a broken marriage without realizing why it failed in the first place. With Felix Dufour-Laperrière's stunning ink-on-paper film Ville Neuve!

I was quite bored here on Twitter so I made this… :P

This week, we're taking a look at the objective fact that firefighters are hot, and also safety is good I guess. With another toy-based Nelvana masterpiece. This time we're looking for the helpers (also there's a cop here for some reason) Rescue Heroes!

We're down for this idea

@CartoonNightPod I’d love to see y’all do a PBS month. You could do a bit about invading/infiltrating America by brainwashing their children to be smarter and kinder.

Once more, we venture into the paranoid hipster trip that was the Delta State. Really, it was an excuse for Sylvie to finally watch the whole series. But, we really can't praise the ingenuity and originality of a show we'll never see the likes of again

i feel it's my responsibility to remind you of how wild The Magic School Bus was💀

[Cartoon Night in Canada @CartoonNightPod]

This week we're stacking our soapboxes to remind everyone to #saveNelvana but also #fundpbs with a look at a time when they teamed up to create magic, with the incomparable teaching skills of Miss Frizzle and her Magic School Bus!

Today we're diving into the awkward world of teenagerdom with all the sarcasm a Quebecois highschooler can muster. In what might be our first look at a primarily French-language cartoon, it's saucy, it's extra, it's Fred's Head (Blaise le Blasé)

This week we're talking about the glory days of the Mockbuster! Because while yes, Hugo's "Hunchback of Notre Dame" is in the public domain, but if you *also* adapt it for kids in 1996, you're getting a side eye! It's The Magical Adventures of Quasimodo!

This week, we're looking at a time when you could save the world with one gnarly kickflip. A time when Mainframe was testing the waters to see if they could be the definitive place to go to turn your toyline into an animated empire. A time of Action Man!

Oh hey we're back (and better than ever)! Here to bring you more 100% All-Canadian (dubbed) goodness with a look at the shoujo icon, NANA! We're talking familiar Vancouver voices, diversifying your anime diet, and so, so many sapphic undertones.

On this week's episode, we are back in our stop-motion bag with a scuffed storybook adaptation featuring an absolute bastard of main character that we were hopelessly charmed by.

Rotten Ralph breaks the internet.

This week on the podcast, Sylvie gets back into her Greek myth mode as we tackle a forgotten Saturday morning staple from Nelvana's VERY BRIEF professiobal partnership with CBS. It's Mythic Warriors, and it is ROUGH.

So do Rogers, and a lot of these corporate monopolies!

Try and support your local or municipal Canadian company before you start gassing up these national billion dollar businesses just for the pleasure to say fuck you to Trump.

[Cartoon Night in Canada @CartoonNightPod]

Loblaws sucks ass and should not be supported just to get back at some Americans!!!

#BOYCOTTUSA there are lots of great Canadian brand to choose.

This week, we're celebrating the phenomenal career of the late, great Robert Verrall! Join us as we check out just two of his dozens of credits with the NFB: workplace safety horror, and the first NFB film nominated for Best Animated Short!

Here is the Globe and Mail report that began this latest speculation into Nelvana's future.

As others have pointed out, this is an industry wide issue where commerce and executive greed take precedence over art and the well-being of employees.

On this week's episode, we prop up a tedious show about bunny siblings as a launching off point to get the word out about #SaveNelvana
Canada's most prolific and longest running animation studios may be in jeopardy, and it's not Max and Ruby's fault.
