NFB releases Advent Calendar app for the iPad

NFB iPad Advent Calendar

Sure, we’re six days late reporting this, but the NFB’s iPad Advent Calendar app [iTunes link] is so awesome we’ve lost track of time using it. Seriously though, if you’re still looking for a neat (and cheap, it’s only $0.99) way to countdown to Christmas, this is one of the coolest apps going, especially for movie buffs.

What does it do you ask? Here’s the official description:

The National Film Board of Canada, famous worldwide for animated film classics like The Sweater, The Cat Came Back and Noël Noël, now brings your family a collection of films that are perfect for the holiday season. Each day throughout December, you and your kids will unlock the next surprise movie, enjoying hours of family entertainment wherever you may be. Whether you’re on a long road trip to grandma and grandpa’s house, at home entertaining friends or just relaxing as a family before bedtime, this holiday collection of Oscar-winners, classics and new releases will be the highlight of any day. Expect extra surprises along the way!

Download the app now via the iTunes App Store and visit nfb.ca for more great NFB treats this month.
