Animation for the People traces the growth of the National Film Board of Canada and its storied animation department, from its founding in the 1930s through to the present day, highlighting significant films like The Sweater, Neighbours, and The Big Snit. By cultivating original visions and encouraging innovative techniques, including stop motion, pinscreen, CGI, puppetry, and more, the NFB grew into one of the most respected forces in global animation. Through interviews conducted by animation historian Charles Solomon with Board filmmakers and other animation artists of note, as well as original artwork from the films, readers will discover both the creative process of and the unusual techniques used by this uniquely Canadian brain trust.
