This excellent animated short is another in a large catalogue produced by the National Film Board of Canada. I have yet to see a bad short or documentary having any connection at all, however tangentially. to the NFBC. In this, a man is stealing people's dreams for resale in his shop. From a fascinating concept springs good artwork and somewhat minimal animation and an excellent script to become a moving and effective work. Most highly recommended.
