DVD Review: NFB's Animation Express

It's a little ironic (or more like coincidental, Alanis) that on the weekend my partner and I went haring off on a spontaneous trip to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, the National Film Board of Canada contacted me asking if I'd like to review Animation Express, a veritable kaleidoscope of Canadian animation talent compiled into a single collection. I can't say I enjoyed all of the 26 shorts on the 2-disc DVD set, but it's impossible for everything to appeal with such a broad gamut of styles and stories portrayed. Talent was the universal factor across each animation, though, and many were not only unique and beautiful, but also deeply enjoyable.
