  • Nominated for an Oscar® for Best Animated Short at the 2012 Academy Awards
    This animated short tells the story of a dapper young remittance man, sent from England to Alberta to attempt ranching in 1909. However, his affection for badminton, bird watching and liquor leaves him little time for wrangling cattle. It soon becomes clear that nothing in his refined upbringing has prepared him for the harsh conditions of the New World. A film about the beauty of the prairie, the pangs of homesickness and the folly of living dangerously out of context.
    Directed by Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby - 2011 | 13 min

    I love the art style of this film. The scene of the town reminds me of an Edward Hopper painting.

    I love this so much, still. The looks from animals, the expression in eyebrows, the prairie thunderstorm, the whole tone.

    Rich Cactus According to the credits, that song is called "The Cowboy's Last Ride". It appears to have been an original song, so I don't think it's available anywhere else...

    the music, the textures, the lighting, the ACTING! Wow, as an animator ( or noob animator ) I greatly respect this style and the work put into this and I cannot imagine how long it took to create all of this. Animating in this style is one of the best styles I've seen on the internet ever! Keep improving and you have my respect for your work!

    Thanks, so meaningful and sad, to think that so many young men from the "mother" country sent were sent to the "colonies" to "make" something of themselves without the skills, labour force, etc ...Stephen Leacock's own father...

    ntb, what is the purpose for uploading this video.? it is of any commercial value? Is the producers for a profit?
