Ottawa musician creates a new score for a 1920s Canadian animated educational short about teeth.
This is pretty cool. Last year some Ottawa musicians created and performed a soundtrack for Lotte Reiniger's animation feature, The Adventures of Prince Achmed. They also composed a new soundtrack for a rarely seen educational animation short, Tiny's Troublesome Tooth (circa 1920s).
The soundtrack was composed and arranged by Paul Hogan and performed / recorded live by Ottawa band, HILOTRONS.
Drawn and animated by Walt H. Swaffield (1925-1929) and produced by Filmart Motion Pictures for the Ontario Motion Picture Bureau. Tiny's Troublesome Tooth is preserved and safely stored at Library and Archives Canada.
A well-known figure in the world of independent animation, writer, author & curator Chris Robinson is the Artistic Director of the Ottawa International Animation Festival.
