"From its creation in 1939 all the way through to the 1980s, the National Film Board of Canada was mandated to produce films for all federal government departments and agencies. These sponsored films were made according to the needs of the agency or department, to be shown in a variety of places. In many cases, humour was used to help convey a message."
Here's one that was created for the Department of Fisheries in 1957. It was animated by Gerald Potterton who rose to the tough challenge of making a fun film about bacteriological contamination of fish.
