In reply to Jamie Hageman:
Also C4 and BBC2 used to regular show various little programmes of animated shorts, many of which did seem to come from NFB.
Co Hoedeman's Le Chateau de Sable is a painstaking masterpiece, ditto Ishu Patel's Paradise.
A lot of Bill Plympton's claymation etc.
For a bit more arty, stuff by Caroline Leaf
and a brilliant beautiful little one, The Big Snit - works on multiple levels.
And yes The Cat Came Back (although I tend to side with the cat, it's only doing standard cat things, the guy is pretty impatient about it all )
What I'd really like to see again is (I think) a British one called V.I.C.T.O.R. which was a wordless thing about a conditioning experiment on a violent delinquent youth (a bit like in A Clockwork Orange). I've forgotten what the acronym was. Violence Induced, Control Terminated something something.
And one that I think someone mentioned on here a while back, with a granny on a scooter always managing to catch up with and annoy some hairy bikers
