This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

These were epic, educational pieces that were very entertaining and really by far my fave videos we used to be shown in class. I actually remember them which is the point so a job well done I guess.

I remember watching this on Ch. 19 out of Toronto. They used it as a filler during Magic Shadows, where they would show 2 episodes of an old-time movie serial such as Flash Gordon, or Zorro, and then fill out the remainder of the half-hour with an episode of Eureka! and maybe a quick NFB short. I've been trying to get copies of these for years, but as far as I know, the only way is to rent the series from TVO's educational resource library. Unfortunately, I believe you have to be a professional educator in order to use this resource. If anyone knows of copies available from a retailer, or on eBay, I'd very much appreciate knowing about it.

A perfect teaching aid for anyone! I saw this whole animated film at Chemical Workshop in 8th grade and again when I took Modern Physics in high school. I would love to purchase this whole set for my personal collection. Unfortunately this title is hard to find. Anyone with information about where to buy this film, please feel free to Email me.

when i was a young'n in the 8th grade, before we started a new unit in science class, we'd watch one of these five-to-eight minute cartoons.man, were they great. they took boring and difficult to learn topics (ie. the basis principles of physics) and made them fun, all in the traditional canadian animation style.if you get a chance to watch these, do so. if your teacher (if you're young enough) has them, beg to see them. you won't regret it.
