Canadian animation is wild, and so much of it is unknown outside of the country.
I remember seeing a short called "La Salla" on Canadian TV when I was a kid. Caused me a bit of childhood trauma lol
Canadian animation was fantastic!
Ryan Larkin was briefly going to be the future of animation, and then he crashed and burned. The handful of shorts he managed to create are INCREDIBLE though.
Man, that so tragic..
Looks like he struggled with drugs and homelessness? That's so sad.
Totally. Every once in a while I think about what an interesting legacy creators of those shows leave. A lot of the time they only worked on one show and it stays obscure for those didn't view it when it initially aired and outside of the country. Yet over a decade later people still look back fondly.
What was La Salla about?
Is that the cgi short with the evil doorknob?!
YES! Well, kind of!! With the apple!!
Hahaa! Yes I remember that short. YTV used to randomly play it in the middle of the night, just for added nightmare fuel
