HINTERLAND WHO'S WHO

HINTERLAND WHO'S WHO

If you grew up in Canada and are over about 15 years old, you probably have some memory of these short films profiling the vast array of wildlife to be found across the Canadian wilderness. The eerie flute music and subdued narration describing relatively nondescript animals were in such sharp contrast to Marlin Perkins and his occasionally vicious action-packed version of the wilds that it kind of defined in my little-kid mind one of the differences between being Canadian and being American. (Yes, SCTV did a great send-up of these things. How could they not?)

Anyway. The Hinterland Who's Who series is now online for your viewing pleasure. Have something warm and put your feet up and dig some chill wilderness action.
