Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Crac is a 1981 Canadian animated short film by Frédéric Back.Somewhere in the forests of Quebec, a woodsman chops down a tree. Wood from the tree is carved into a rocking chair, which comes into the possession of a farmer and his wife. The husband and wife and their children use the chair over many years, while bucolic, rural Quebec becomes steadily less bucolic and less rural. All of this is seen from the perspective of the chair, which turns out to have a life of its own.

Arcadia: The beautiful, lush rural village inhabited by the farmer. Woodsmen chopping trees, waterfalls, bubbling streams. All ruined when industrialization comes. (Coincidentially, that region of Quebec is known as Acadia, and the French-descended populace are called Acadians. Some of them were driven southwards to French Louisiana by the English and are now called Cajuns).

Cluster Bleep-Bomb: When the chair breaks under the farmer, he swears out loud. The sound is bleeped out (that is, rendered largely inarticulate). However, we know what those words would have been, as an image appears above the farmer showing a chalice, a host and a tabernacle. He would have thus exclaimed something like "Caulisse d'hostie de tabarnaque!" - a string of religion-based swear words in Quebec French.

Animate Inanimate Object: The chair. It's not immediately clear, but after a point the smiley face painted on the top of the chair can be seen changing expressions. At the end, when the chair is alone in the museum, it rocks itself, only to go still again when the security guard enters.
