    Growing up "north of the border" here, I saw so many NFB films as a kid. Some favorites are:

    The Cat Came Back https://www.nfb.ca/film/the-cat-came-back/

    The Big Snit https://www.nfb.ca/film/big_snit/

    Neighbours https://www.nfb.ca/film/neighbours_voisins/

    and of course, can't forget this one that used to be shown between shows every once in a while: Log Driver's Waltz https://www.nfb.ca/film/log_drivers_waltz/

    oh yeah, almost forgot about this one, so Canadian hahah: The Sweater https://www.nfb.ca/film/sweater/
