Animated "The Sun Wakes Up After a Long Winter"
A new animation directed by Mitchell Keys taps into the feeling of elation and brightness that accompanies the first days of spring.
In northern climes, winter sometimes feels like it drags on forever. A new animation directed by Mitchell Keys taps into the feeling of elation and brightness that accompanies the first days of spring. And while his short film, “Springrise,” is only about a minute long, it traces the sun’s journey higher into the sky, as if awakening from hibernation while people rejoice.
Hothouse, an apprenticeship program facilitated by the National Film Board of Canada, invites a handful of participants to create ultra-short animated shorts every year. It aims to quickly and flexibly make animations while emphasizing creative and technical excellence, and 2025 marks its 15th edition. You can watch all of this year’s projects, plus dozens more from past cohorts, on the NFB website
You can view the 1-1/2 minute animation, here.

Jacki, first of all, thank you for your kind words from your yesterday's answer. They always make my soul smile.
This short animation film is really cute. Each winter I'm waiting for the days growing longer. I always look how long the days are. I'm a bit childish, I know.
Your last smile is a good reminder - thanks. And the smile before that is just so sweet.
Jacki, thanks for another delightful blog!
Thank you Etenor, it always make me feel good when your kind words express that you like the blog. Thank YOU!!
