In this fanciful illustration of an Inuit legend, an owl, much to its surprise and bewilderment, attracts the amorous attention of a goose. A delightful story for audiences of all ages, The Owl Who Married a Goose: An Eskimo Legend is distinguished by the wry humour characteristic of many Inuit tales. The images were animated using sand and the sound effects were crafted by Inuit artists and recorded in the Arctic. The film received numerous international honours and was nominated for a BAFTA Award and an Academy Award® for Animated Short Film.
