A Canadian love story

The Owl Who Married a Goose: An Eskimo Legend (1976)

Directed by Caroline Leaf this is a short cartoon funded by the National Film Board of Canada. An owl and a goose shack up together but find raising a family together difficult.

Taking a simple parable this cartoon is a decent metaphor for the fusion of different cultures in Canada and the problems they struggle with. I enjoyed the animation style which is simple but artistic. The use of dialogue in Inuktitut does make the film a little hard to follow but is still good.


4/5
