Canada's First?

Getting technical.

Quebec director Nancy Florence Savard's debut movie is billed as Canada’s first-ever 3D animated feature film, and makes its mark with a strong visual signature that Savard says sets it apart from slick Hollywood offerings.

“We knew that we couldn’t do something the same as what they were doing. But we knew also that people would compare us because it’s an animation movie,” says Savard, describing her $8.5-million film as more akin in spirit to the National Film Board. ...

First ever? What about Gnomeo and Juliet? Hood-Winked Too? Space Chimps? What about Pixar shorts that are done in Canada?

I get how those others aren't Canadian funded. Or Canadian themed. But when they're made in Canada, by Canadian artists, I like to believe they count as Canadian.

I'm weird that way.

"Canadian Content" and Canadian involvement tend to be tricky areas to weave through.

They simply like the idea of being 100% here I'm sure.

Well, now how about they outsource half of the production to the U.S. ? Only seems fair , eh ?
