Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Paddle to the Sea is a 1966 short film (28 minutes) directed by Bill Mason, and produced by the National Film Board of Canada.It is an adaptation of children's book Paddle-to-the-Sea by Holling C. Holling. A boy, a member of the "Nipigon people" of northwestern Ontario, is sickly and so can't travel around very much. So instead he makes a wood carving, a little carving of a First Nations man in a wooden canoe. The boy sets it on a snowy hillside, with the hope that when the snow melts, little "Paddle to the Sea" will in fact be carried to the sea.And so it does. The snow melts, and the little carving toboggans down the hill into a stream. "Paddle to the Sea" goes through some rapids before hitting Lake Superior, then journeys through the Great Lakes, passing a (staged) forest fire and the city of Detroit, passing over Niagara Falls before hitting the St. Lawrence River and heading for the open ocean.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Blade-of-Grass Cut: Several extreme closeups of scenery and nature, like the extreme closeup of a frog that is clinging to the carving to avoid getting eaten by a large fish that is prowling below. (The frog finally hops off Paddle-to-the-Sea and is immediately eaten.) | |

Green Aesop: The 1960s were the nadir of the horrible pollution of the Great Lakes. One scene shows a bunch of what looks like waste oil poured from a ship and all over little Paddle-to-the-Sea. Then a quick montage shows gross sludgy pollution in the lake and some nasty brown water pouring into the lake from some sort of industrial drain. | |
