Leonard Maltin's Animation Favorites From the National Film Board of Canada

Rating:
Summary: the best animation collection ever!
Review: The Cat Came Back is one of the funniest animations ever, and Pas de Deux is a veritable work of art by MacLaren, the master of experimental animation. Especially good for students of animation as it contains a wide variety of styles.

Summary: One of the best animation selections available
Review: This disc features a mix of assorted animation by members of the NFB that is sure to please the most discriminating animation collector. From the wild, thoughtful and free experimentations of Norman McLaren to more lighthearted contributions that don't compromise the overall quality of the whole presentation at all - if you are a fan of experimental / independent animation, this is a must for your DVD collection. You won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Wonderful Animation!
Review: This is a delightful collection of animation. Crac! by Fredric Back is among the most moving of animated films. I recommend this collection to any fan of great animation.

Summary: Better than most collections, but not outstanding
Review: This is certainly worth buying for "Begone Dull Care" and "The Street," and I applaud Maltin for including those, but it's frustrating to see overplayed clunkers like "The Cat Came Back" included on collection after collection of FBC animation (it's on at least two other dvd's that I'm aware of) while so much great work in their vaults never sees the light of day.

I understand this a reflection of Maltin's personal taste, but the FPC's dvd releases share too much material with each other to make buying more than one or two worthwhile.
