Ludovic: The Snow Gift is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Co Hoedeman and released in 1998.[1] The film centres on Ludovic, a baby teddy bear who finds solace in a dancing and singing doll, after his father forbids him from going tobogganing because he's too little.[1] Inspired by Hoedeman's own childhood teddy bear, the film was animated primarily through stop motion animation of puppets.[2]
After premiering in 1998, the film was screened in 1999 as the opening film to theatrical screenings of Babar: King of the Elephants.[3]
The film received a Genie Award nomination for Best Animated Short Film at the 20th Genie Awards.[4]
Several sequel films, Ludovic: A Crocodile in My Garden (2000), Ludovic: Visiting Grandpa (2001) and Ludovic: Magic in the Air (2002), were released over the next number of years.
