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.

norman mclaren's neighbours is a masterpiece of animation- it entertains, educates, and satirizes, all at once.
the plot of the film is simple, and predictable: two neighbours are fighting over a flower, which seems to fall directly between their two properties. naturally, the two fight over the flower until both they and the flower are destroyed.
however, underneath that simple plot, there lies a strong anti-war message. it points out that war does not allow for winners, only losers; and it reminds us that we've been known to forget why, exactly, we're fighting each other, killing each other, as well as each other's families.
the battle is shown with live-action/stop-go animation- which allows the effects of the flower on the two men to be exagarrated easily. this suits the film well, giving a serious topic a little light-heartedness.
an interesting side-note- the soundtrack was not recorded, but rather hand-painted (by mclaren himself) onto the soundtrack. this gives the soundtrack a boxy, nintendo-like quality.
in my mind, this film could sit easily with modern anti-war classics; never too preachy, never too simple.
truly enjoyable.
