Part of BFI's "National Coal Board Collection".

The story of the settlement of Canada, illustrated with cheerful animated cartoons. The arrival of Jacques Cartier, the fishing and fur trades which followed, and the rival colonization by the French and British, climaxed by the battle of the Plains of Abraham, are depicted. The coming of the United Empire Loyalists is seen; then the west-coast gold rush and the completion of the transcontinental railway. New branches were added to the family tree when many European settlers came to fill the great spaces of the Prairies. Finally, we see the whole country matured into a nation, its traditions enriched by those of many peoples.

23 years before George Dunning made film history with YELLOW SUBMARINE he made this very strange, abstract animated short for the Canadian Safety Board. This short, using simple cut-out animation, and the song "Three--- Blind--- Mice----" tells of horrific factory accidents that befell three mice that work there. "They didn't check their machinary....those three blind mice...." is how some of the lyrics go. A bizarre party film.
