The features screening in Ottawa are the French anthology Fear(s) of the Dark, [...]

DON'T be fooled by the title. "The Animation Show 4" isn't Disney and isn't for kids. Rather, it is a collection of 20 or so some times raunchy, often offensive and always entertaining animated shorts from around the world. Funniest, if you ask me...

In other words, no sword play or collectible card [...]
