More Kaj Pindal

Wanderbirds

Following our mix-up about Kaj Pindal, we received an email from Michael Carter, Pindal's producer and partner on the new animated series THE WANDERBIRDS (52x7). He sent us one of Kaj's development drawings (above) from the series. The show is "a Flash animated series that follows a family of penguins as they leave the crowded South Pole in search of a mysterious new home called the 'North Pole'" and it's currently in production at Shaftesbury Films in Toronto.

What On Earth!

Also, wouldn't you know it, Pindal's Oscar-nominated short WHAT ON EARTH! (1966) can be viewed online in its entirety HERE. The mockumentary, created from the pespective of Martians, documents the life of a typical Earthling (an automobile).

One final bit of Pindal online: Sheridan student Amir Avni has posted a set of frame grabs from Kaj's hilarious animation in the NFB short I KNOW AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A FLY (1964). See the full set of frame grabs HERE.
