Canada isn’t seen as a major player in the animation world like Japan or the US, but America's neighbor to the north has produced some classic shows, and the best Canadian cartoons reflect that. However, the country has produced some cartoon classics. Canada seems to place a premium on early childhood programming, as stations like CBC Kids, TVOKids, and Ytv offer a bevy of educational, entertaining cartoons.
But Canadian kids aren't the only ones who get to enjoy the country's excellent animated shows. In fact, there are many popular cartoons that American audiences likely didn't even realize are Canadian, like the hit preschool series Paw Patrol and the beloved Arthur, one of the longest-running animated series of all time. Not every cartoon from Canada is as sweet as maple syrup, either, as the Great White North is also responsible for adult animated series like Clone High, proving there's a Canadian cartoon for everyone.

As I queued up the first episode of Netflix’s “One Day,” I was reminded of the words of a great man: “I am ready to get hurt again.”
“One Day” of course shares its title and source material with David Nicholls’ 2009 novel and Lone Scherfig’s 2011 film — but in Nicole Taylor’s episodic version (executive produced by Nicholls) starring Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall, the story finds its wings, telling the story of Emma (Mod) and Dexter (Woodall) over decades with a snapshot of just one day in the year.
The episodic structure lends itself beautifully to Nicholls’ premise, letting each year breathe and allowing viewers to settle into Emma and Dex’s shifting dynamics — and by extension, the wider world of nebulous relationships. There is the night they (almost) slept together, the day they miss each other’s calls, the trip to Europe (with one bed), the catastrophic...

David Nicholls’ romance One Day has been adapted for the screen for a second time, this time on Netflix: here’s the trailer.
Novelist David Nicholls has had considerable success as a screenwriter, from penning episodes of Cold Feet and BBC dramas The 7:39 and Aftersun to adapting his own novels Starter For Ten and Us.
His most well known novel, One Day, was previously adapted into a 2011 film by Nicholls himself. Directed by Lobe Scherfig, it saw Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess take on the central roles of Emma and Dexter, alongside Patricia Clarkson, Ken Stott and Romola Garai. It received middling reviews which particularly criticized Hathaway’s Yorkshire accent.
A new adaptation is heading to Netflix, this time as a limited series. The synopsis reads as follows:
Netflix’s adaptation of One Day tells the story of Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew who, on July 15th 1988, the night of their graduation,...
