I am Paddle-to-the-Sea. Please put me back in the water.
 
Who remembers this bucolic little film from the late 1960s, directed by Bill Mason & a one-time favorite of schoolchildren all over North America?

It's time they released this on DVD!
Paddle to the Sea

It's a beloved classic to an entire generation of American schoolchildren that grew up in the 1970s. It's only 28 minutes long, so it was frequently shown to grade-schoolers on rainy days when the field was too wet to play in.

"Paddle to the Sea" is about a young Canadian Indian boy who carves a wooden figure of an Indian in a canoe & names him Paddle-to-the-Sea, then sets him down on a frozen river. With the coming of spring, the river melts, & Paddle-to-the-Sea makes his perilous way downstream from Lake Superior to the sea, the Atlantic Ocean.

Well, that sounds wonderful, right up my alley. I'm suprised I didn't see it, being a schoolchild in the seventies. Ok, just 79, but still... :laugh: Speaking of things people should see, I've recently noticed that "The Dot and the Line" by Chuck Jones is very great, too.
Anyway, thanks for the info, I really want to see that. :)
