Cartoon Night in Canada

We're on a nostalgic journey to dig through decades of Canadian animation to find the good, the bad, and the just plain weird cartoons of the Great White North. Every week, Sylvie and Chris take a look at an animated something or other from their shared experience of growing up in Canada to see what holds up, what left an impact on us, and what is best left in the past.

    Episode 119 - Witch's Night Out (1978)

    On this installment of the 2024 Spooktober Celebration, we look back to a forgotten cult classic with an extended, fascinating post-life based on the dedicated work of one super fan. A network special from a bygone era about the true reason of the season - partying and mob justice - we breakdown the fascinating animation and character design on display before going LONG on the attempts to turn this into a franchise forty-five years after the fact. Film covered for the podcast was Witch's Night Out. Directed by John Leach and written by Leach and Isobel Jean Rankin. Original airdate October 27, 1978.

    Episode 118 - Martin Mystery "Haunting of the Blackwater"

    Making good on our Spooktober promise to bring back some old favourites, we are taking another look at one of the greatest Canadian produced shows and one of the best examples of introducing the horror genre to kids - Martin Mystery. What other show for kids would attempt a parody of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining? And set it in British Columbia? Episode covered for the podcast is episode 15 "Haunting of the Blackwater." Written by Simon Racioppa & Richard Elliot. Directed by Stephane Berry & Gregory Panaccione. Original airdate March 3, 2004.

    Episode 117 - Dark Oracle

    Break out those early-2000s haircuts and Hot Topic accessories, it is once again time for our Spooktober Celebration! And to kick it all off, we are taking a look at the scariest thing our country's television industry has ever produced - a mopey, pseudo-gothic live-action teen drama about an evil comic book...that is technically animated. In our most contentious episode to date, Sylvie and Chris check out Dark Oracle on its 20th anniversary - an alleged blend of live-action and animation that is just barely the latter. But at least we get a lot of early-2000s nostalgia and discover how aesthetically influential this little show about a comic book that tells the future truly was. Episode covered for the podcast was Episode 1 "Dark Oracle." Written by Heather Conkie & Jana Sinyor. Directed by Ron Murphy. Original airdate October 2, 2004.

    Episode 116 - Kid vs. Kat

    On this week's episode, we convince you to get paranoid about your pet cat and how they might be orchestrating your imminent demise with Kid vs. Kat. A deliberate throwback to the classic adversarial Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons, we find ourselves talking about what we would call a "modern classic" from Rob Boutilier - the current name behind Apple Tv's Peanuts franchise. Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 12 "House of Scream/Planter's Warp." Written by Roger Fredericks and Leslie Midiner. Storyboarded by Jamie LeClaire and Kent Webb. Directed by Rob Boutilier, Josh Mepham, and Greg Sullivan. Original airdate May 2, 2009.

    Episode 115 - Barbie™ of Swan Lake

    In the second installment of our new series - The Untitled Barbie Movie Side Series ? or maybe The MFBCU (Mainframe Barbie Cinematic Universe) ? - we are returning to the janky CG Barbieland produced right here in Canada with a classy, 100% faithful Tchaikovsky adaptation. Canadian girls love ballet, Barbie toys, tragedy, and the dulcet tones of Kelsey Grammer, so how could this go wrong? Film covered the podcast is Barbie of Swan Lake. Directed by Owen Hurley. Written by Elana Lesser & Cliff Ruby. Original release date September 30, 2003.

    Episode 114 - CanaDUB: The Story of Saiunkoku (Ocean Dub)

    We're back! After a long summer hiatus, Chris and Sylvie are back to push their pro-dubbing agenda once more with the latest episode of CanaDUB. While Studio Madhouse's The Story of Saiunkoku is a perfectly competent shōjo romance surrounding court intrigue and economic disparity, the real interesting story can be found in the state of the anime distribution industry at the time. Chris and Sylvie break down the influential ramifications for the industry surrounding the unfortunate release of Saiunkoku and its ill-fated distributor Geneon Entertainment. It's a history lesson on the 2000s anime boom type of podcast this week. Episode covered the podcast is episode 1 "Every Good Deal has a Catch." Written by Reiko Yoshida and directed by Jun Shishido. Original Canadian airdate August 28th 2007. *NOTE: We apologize for the audio quality. Chris is having technical issues with his microphone that we are looking to resolve.

    Episode 113 - The Brothers Grunt

    On this week's episode, we tackle an ugly little footnote in the career of Ed Edd n' Eddy creator Danny Antonuuci that has been memory-holed from the line-up of MTV Animation. A grotesque gross-out comedy featuring five perpetually pained creatures who tortuously fill your eyes and ears with bad vibes. It's The Brothers Grunt, and it is not what we would call an easy watch. "Episodes" covered are Episode 1,2, and 6 "The Ceremony, Make Mine Grunt, and Scrub Me Sammy." All written by Danny Antonucci and Dennis Heaton. All directed by Danny Antonucci. Original airdates August 15th, August 22nd, and September 19th, 1994.

    Episode 112 - Jane and the Dragon

    We are back with a favourite topic of ours we will always go far out of our way to dissect and ramble on - the awkward growing pains of CGI animation. We've entered the mid-2000s and what we are calling CGI's "scene kid years" with Jane and The Dragon. A beloved children's book adapted by two veritable titans of the film industry: our beloved Nelvana with their noted pedigree in CGI animation, and Wētā Workshop who is best known for their work on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings franchise. How did this six degrees of separation between Nelvana's Donkey Kong Country and Gollum come about? And how is it so solid and charming? Episode covered for the podcast was Episode 23 "Dragon's Egg." Written by Ann MacNaughton. Animation Directed by series director Mike Fallows (with motion-capture work directed by Peter Salmon). Original airdate July 22, 2006.
