National Film Board

Ah, the National Film Board - a grand Canadian institution - watch its films and animations online here.
"A Chairy Tale" is a classic - "A chair comes to life and protests its situation, refusing to allow a man to sit down on it. The man sets about trying to tame the chair. In the end, they establish a friendship. A film without words by legendary animator Norman McLaren" says the teacher's guide. Um, no - the animator was Evelyn Lambart, according to the website - McLaren had a grander role.
