Director
This film is meant to inspire an interest in reading, especially for those who have difficulties. Words act out their meaning: scare is scary, fun is fun, sob cries, etc. It's an adventure story for the film's two main characters: a "stick" man and his dog; a journey into the world of words.
Director
In English Canada, Madame Bolduc is virtually unknown, but her folk singing put a kick in the step of French Canadians throughout Quebec and parts of New England in the 1930s. Among her most popular songs was La Bastringue, illustrated in this lively animated film.

An unconventional version of The Christmas Carol.
(voice)
A tale of intolerance and where it all ends, told in an animated cartoon about a king and his kingdom, and bigotry that had its day. The illustrations and dialogue are light and amusing, but that does not mask the moral of the story: that unless we tolerate individual differences--even the king's nervous twitch--peace may only come when all are behind bars.
