What Good Canadians Do is a short animated film that melds poetry and visual art in a way that feels both intimate and expansive. Rebecca Thomas's poem is poignant, layered with cultural resonance, and Phyllis Grant's illustrations add a vibrant touch that complements the heartfelt delivery. The animation by Andrea Dorfman gives it a fluidity, making the whole experience quite engaging. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb each line and image. There's an authenticity in the portrayal of Indigenous themes that feels genuinely reflective rather than performative. It’s distinct in its approach, focusing on personal and communal narratives that are often underrepresented in mainstream animation. A lovely piece for anyone interested in animation that carries depth.
