The three songs are performed by Chantal Blanchais, Charles Biddle Jr. and Martin L\u2019Heureux.<\/p>\n<p>The first film in\u00a0<em>The collection of classic Christmas tales<\/em>, The legend of the Christmas tree tells how, in Quebec City in 1870, a seven-year-old boy named William manages to save a beautiful tree from being chopped down, with the help of his friends Chipmunk and Lotor.\u00a0<em>The legend of the Christmas tree<\/em>\u00a0is an original story by Nancy Savard, and the screenplay was written by Savard and Andr\u00e9 Jean.<\/p>\n<p>In the hope of making Quebec City a crossroads for animation,\u00a0<strong>Productions 10th Ave<\/strong>\u00a0is developing a number of projects featuring different animation techniques.\u00a0<em>The legend of the Christmas tree<\/em>\u00a0is intended to be the first in a collection of eight tales, produced at the rate of one per year. \u201cIt seemed essential to us that a Quebec product be part of the television Christmas tradition of Cin\u00e9-cadeau,\u201d explained producer Nancy Savard. \u201cBy 2008, between Christmas and New Year\u2019s Day, Quebecers will be able to see an original story produced in Quebec every day. For Quebec\u2019s 400th anniversary, we will be able to offer a treasure chest of Christmas tales all made in our capital city: we hope it\u2019s a wonderful gift!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a production house, the approach of\u00a0<strong>Productions 10th Ave<\/strong>\u00a0is to train teams that include experts form the Quebec City region. \u201cOur products are inspired by our Quebec reality,\u201d said Savard, \u201cand they are designed to include Quebec artists &#8211; the qualities and expertise that each of our suppliers has developed. With our desire to amalgamate the experience of television and movie people in the region with those of our best multimedia artists, we hope to create a centre for animation in the 8th borough of the new Quebec City.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The legend of the Christmas tree<\/em>\u00a0came to fruition thanks to close collaboration with Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lessard and his team at Interstation, as well as the people at Studio Expression, Sarbakan, and Studio Global.<\/p>\n<p>Aware of the lasting nature that a Christmas work often has, the director chose 3D animation as a support and asked visual artists to contribute a distinctive imagery to her films. \u201cThe textures are reminiscent of painting &#8211; of oil paints, of pastel, of charcoal drawing. There are many artists in Quebec City, and our film was a reason for all of them to get together on a common project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than 70 people worked on the production. Presented at MipCom Junior 2002 this fall,\u00a0<em>The legend of the Christmas tree<\/em>\u00a0drew the attention of buyers from France, Portugal, Switzerland, Germany, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, and the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is thanks to the boldness of T\u00e9l\u00e9-Qu\u00e9bec that we were able to produce The Legend of the Christmas Tree,\u201d the producer . \u201cThe network\u2019s forward-looking involvement had a considerable impact among our investors such as Telefilm Canada, SODEC, and the Shaw Fund, and we are very appreciative. The contribution of C\u00e9cile Bellemare, Victor Harrouch, and Annick Charette was decisive. Today, we can confirm that the second story, The Story of the Christmas Stocking, will begin production next week, with broadcast at Christmas 2003.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Productions 10th Ave<\/strong>\u00a0is a new television and film production house.
