Subject: Log Driver's Waltz
Written By: star500 on 08/16/05 at 10:25 am
(Only Canadians will remember this, unless by some miracle, a few Americans got to see it as well) Does anyone remember this short cartoon made by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) ? It used to come on in between shows on CBC. It was such a cute little video about a log driver looking for a wife and travelling around on a log. I remember seeing it when I was about 5 or 6 but it has been around since 1979 apparently. I have found a clip of it for anyone who would like to watch it at: http://www.nfb.ca/portraits/hommage/wade/index1.html
If anyone (Canadian or otherwise) remembers this, let me know!

I remember it, it was ok I guess, the songs was pretty catchy though.

I loved the Log Driver's Waltz. I wish they still showed it.

The song and the animation has stuck in my head for years.  If you really want to enjoy it, you can buy it for $15 on the Natinal Film Board webstore at nfb.ca.
Cheers

This year, The Log Drivers Waltz animated short is celebrating it's 30th anniversary. Since I was a kid, watching this cartoon always made me feel glad to be a Canadian, so in celebration of it's 30th year, I have made it my avatar just in time for Canada day! 8)
