The Sweater

Фильм және анимация

An animated version of a short story by Roch Carrier, who narrates this tale based on his boyhood experiences in rural Quebec. Imagine a young boy's chagrin when his only Montreal Canadiens hockey sweater wears out and 'Mr. Eaton' sends him a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater by mistake!
For ages 5 - 8

    Actually Mr. Eaton's policy was "Goods Satisfactory or Money Refunded." It must have been a mistake by the company, or something. Either way, Mr. Eaton would have most certainly refunded the money, or could have agreed to an even exchange.

    For anyone watching who's not from Canada, this is not just a cute animated short...this is a commentary on Canada itself! Back in the day of Maurice Richard, the NHL was ruled and founded by british aristocrats. The Stanley Cup itself is named after a British lord and governor general (representative of the Queen of England in Canada) so when you are a poor, rural french canadian, those are the people you want sent to the guillotine like the cousins did across the pond. In 1955, Richard, the french canadian underdog himself, was suspended by The Man himself, Clarence Campbell and the ensuing riot is seen as one of the events that triggered Quebec's Quiet Revolution.

    Other than the memes, that kid is right about not wanting a Leafs sweater. Who would want a sweater of a team that does so much choking and has a drought so long that it arguably makes them the most pathetic, sad, sorry excuse for a team and arrogant fanbase in all of sports? I know cause I am Leafs fan. Wearing the team outside the city brings about scorn and laughter.

    It's funny how much I adore this short despite, well, not being Canadian, but I have a very specific nostalgia connected to "The Sweater". When I was young, my neighbors used to have screenings on their little patio of great old movies with an old-school projector and reels that they got from a local library. The Sweater was one that they showed every time, without fail. We all knew the story by heart. We quoted it as it played, and hummed the tunes. Those movie nights were some of my best memories, so it stands to reason that I'd still be thinking of The Sweater after all these years.

I thought the lesson was "life is unfair, and you're not wrong for feeling unfairly about it." and my favourite part and what felt like vindication for my childhood was when he prayed for God to send him moths to eat his sweater. Finally, adults showing us a story about a kid treated unfairly by adults, and the kid is just an ordinary kid without much freedom and not much to do about the situation, but he uses his chance to pray for something to undo his place in life.

    The poster is correct, with one caveat: As a youngster in Toronto in the late 60s and early 70s (yes, I even remember the last time the Leafs won Lord Stanley's Cup), Maurice "Rocket" Richard, though already retired, was still a revered and beloved player, even in Toronto. In the Anglo-Franco divide of those times, hockey was our common ground and agreed-upon battleground. And one never disrespects a great general, even when he wars for the enemy. As a proud Torontonian of those times, I would still have worn a No. 9 hockey sweater with honour and no shame.

    I'm proud of being a fan of the Canadiens. This little short is very charming and cute, and as far as hockey and as a result, Canadian culture is concerned, it's quite cute to see the fires of rivalry back in 1946 I think is when Roch said it took place. The rivalry between the Habs and the Leafs goes way back. I'm just glad I'm rooting for the right team (firewall up)

My best friend who shared the series with me (as neither her boyfriend, nor my girlfriend "got it") still wonder at the fact that Canada has the NFB. What a gift to Canada and the world.

Of course we tell it all in a Quebecois accent and the tagline is "This summer, REVENGE combs its 'air like Maurice Richard!" It's so stupid. :)

    I first saw this at the Cineplex Eaton Centre in Toronto. The cartoon started after the kaleidoscope display ended. If you are just old enough to remember what a kaleidoscope was, you'll agree that watching a movie in those days was special. That is, it was an event. You were sometimes helped to your seat by an usher with a flashlight. The popcorn somehow tasted better than popcorn anywhere else. There was a heavy velvet curtain in front of the screen that parted just before the main feature began.

They were playing the Habs. And the Habs DESTROYED the Leafs! It was like men vs boys. And that very night, I became a lifelong Hab fan!

    In the Royal Military College in Kingston, I had seen my team play as vistors against Toronto and sadly did not win, but I took back with me a novelty cup with the Leafs logo. Fast forwards some months and I set off the smoke alarm by bad actions. I feared I was in so much trouble and when the base duty officer arrived (it was a Friday evening) it was palpable how annoyed he was to be there among the cadet cadre on his time off. He took one look at the leafs cup, smiled and asked me if I was a fan, to which I lied and said yes. He left immediately and no consequence came to me after that.
