I haven't seen this short in years. A good example of satire in a cartoony sense.

Oh I remember this short when I was younger. It kinda traumatized me so badly, I kept my glasses clinged on for shower and bed for a whole week.

damn they invented both the 🅱️ and E memes

Sólo para aclarar, Pojar es checoslovaquio, perteneciente a la nueva ola checa cinematrográfica. Lo que hizo Canadá fue remasterizar y salvaguardar el corto. Algo muy loable, por supuesto.

since I didn’t find a comment on how they interpreted this story, here’s my take: a mysterious statue is dropped at the town’s park. it represents a new idea or discovery. the townspeople don’t know much about the statue but they can clearly tell it’s the letter ‘E’. there’s another man who looks at the statue and perceives it as the letter ‘B’. this man represents people who disregard innovation because they’re blinded by traditional values. the townspeople explain him that it’s not ‘E’ but ‘B’. some get furious and frustrated that this man does not see eye to eye with them. they represent people who try to force new concepts on others and restore to hate if others don’t get it. but when has hate solved anything? and so comes a woman with her young daughter, who represents the youth. she sees how this man is in dire need of help and finds a new way to aid him. she calls the doctor immediately who represents the path to truth. the doctor understands that this man just needs some new glasses for him to see the letter ‘E’. this implies that in order to disclose someone the reality, you have to first find what hinders them from seeing it. after wearing the new glasses, the man also starts seeing the letter ‘E’ and thus the townspeople rejoice in the newfound revelation and unity. but it doesn’t last long as the king dabbles in the park to impose his own insight. he represents the authoritarian government who sees the letter ‘E’ as ‘B’. the murmurs amongst the townspeople begin but the naive doctor, who found a new way to aid those in the dark approaches the king and respectfully demonstrates him how it’s an ‘E’ and not ‘B’. but every tongue that rises against the king shall fall and thus he orders his henchmen to hit the people on the head for they will only see what the king wants them to see. and they do, chanting that it’s a ‘B’. this reveals how the government exploits their power to brainwash people into believing false ideologies of religion, discrimination, education, caste, race, gender and sexuality. the short film ‘E’ addresses issues such as political indoctrination, corruption, class system and propaganda in a satirical and simplest way. if you want to explain these complex concepts to someone, make them watch this.

So, the canadians started this meme years ago, and only surfaced recently, well dead now that being but this is quite interesting to infer on regardless.

This animation is made the E meme I havent seen this in years

I love this old canadian animated shorts - greetings from Italy

Man, I finally found it! Thanks so much for posting. All I had was my memory as a small child seeing these strange Canadian cartoons and not knowing what they were called or where to find them. Super late nights on Cartoon Network. You rock!

Great story. Amazing design.

with a simple word from lauigi. a meme was born

Thank you for posting this! I hadn't seen it in quite a while.

I've been hoping to see this posted. It's been years since I saw it, and it's always stuck in my mind. But seeing it now, it's so much darker than I remember. I guess it's obvious why.

Thank you so much for posting this on KZfaq. Much easier to access than the VHS version I have. I also note it was posted the day before "the" inauguration.....

1:30, *AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!* BAM!!!

Haaaaa ... En fait c'est "1984" adapté aux enfants ^^

Spettacolare!!!

The emperor has no E.

You do not see the Letter B, you see the Letter E!

E. is best memorable Animation that I saw from NFB, in 30 years before ! story of this animation is very similar to story of our country IRAN. The story of the rulers who are stupid and ignorant and who want with force their people to follow their ignorance.

Im here making a history exam review sheet and come across this...wut?

I love this animations B and E

So cute!!!😉❤👍AMAZING opera too !!!❤

I used to show for many many many many class of Geography in Brasil. I am happy to show this good version, because my cassate video em CD recorder were trash copies.

Je me rappelle d'avoir vu ce mini-film quand j'étais un enfant. C'était dans l'émission qui s'appelait " Frame by Frame'' dans la chaine de Teletoon

this is so deep

thats so dark lol

Fun to watch. Says more 'bout society

What kind of a name of a Canadian animated short film is "E"? E is not only the fifth letter of the alphabet, but is also the second vowel. E is the letter that comes after D and just before F. Sometimes, it sounds like "eh", as in "egg", "elbow", and "elephant". Other times, it sounds like "eee", as in "eat", "Easter", and "evening".

Actually it was C

I'm impressed with this film from Canada titled "E". From what I can see, most people saw an 'e', but a visual condition made both one man and the king 👑 see a 'b'. Sometimes government wins. I just wish it was in English and not Canadian French. Greetings from the USA!!🌈🦄⭐👑🦊🏆

This says lot about our society

2:23 never heard of this language before

'Evil corp.'

Poor parrot,left alone

Remember when you see that big E at the eye doctor, it's always a B.

¿qué pasa, peña?

Never heard this part, because this animation looks like "Peppa pig" animation. About different letters, like E or B

lol. I started to like a canadian humor

We must think B even that's E

We live in a Societ-E

Teaching a child to read be like:

Modern Ukraine and the West. How does this short film illuminate modern realities and present the whole truth of the world. How is this very similar to the problem of how vile people who have usurped power commit terrible deeds to the people.

What is this and why did my grandson like it?

The Politically Correct form of "E" is "B'

What the frick
