Sylvia is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Michel Murray and released in 1985.[1] A satire of the modern family, the film blends live action and animation in its depiction of a bored housewife with a couch potato husband, a computer-addicted son and a punk rocker daughter, who escapes from her family life by imagining herself as the heroine in a romance novel.[2]
The film was voiced by Denise Ally, Daniel Bérard and André Ducharme, with Mario Boucher, Caroline Gadoury, Michel Hébert and François Pierre Le Scouarnec appearing in the live-action segments.
The film premiered at the 1985 Montreal World Film Festival.[2]
The film was a Genie Award nominee for Best Animated Short at the 7th Genie Awards in 1986.[3]
