The Mighty River (French: Le Fleuve aux grandes eaux) is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Frédéric Back and released in 1993.[1]

Summary

The film is a portrait of the St. Lawrence River, depicting both its natural beauty and the threats to it from human negligence of the environment.[1] It was the last film Back worked on before Société Radio-Canada, the French division of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for which Back worked, closed down its animation department.[2]

The film's English version was narrated by Donald Sutherland, and its French version was narrated by Paul Hébert.

Release

It premiered at the 1993 Annecy International Animation Film Festival.

In Canada, it was distributed principally as a television special, broadcast in French by SRC Télévision and in English by CBC Television.[3]

Back and biologist Claude Villeneuve released a book version of the film in 1995.[4]
