Thanks to White Noise for this wonderful link featuring some of the classics of the National Film Board of Canada, famous for its short animated movies. A must for all lovers of animation. My favorites among the ones I’ve seen so far include ” The Cat came back”, “The Hat” and ” The Big Snit”. Many more goodies yet to taste …..

TNT network (USA) is showing a 4 week serial titled “Nightmares and Dreamscapes” based on a few short stories of Stephen King. Each episode will feature screen adaptations of two different stories. The first episode premiered today and it was pretty good. The stories enacted were “Battleground” and “Crouch End”. I had read “Battleground” earlier and was not much impressed either then or now. But “Crouch End” made up for it.
