The National Film Board of Canada is calling all iPhone-equipped animation fans with a new application for the popular mobile device.

The mobile application is available now and allows free, full viewing of hundreds of documentaries, animated films and trailers streamed over wi-fi, 3G and EDGE wireless networks. The application is a first for a Canadian film and entertainment organization.

In additon to making hundreds of films available for viewing, the app will let users preload films to watch later within a 24-hour period, search the entire online collection of NFB.ca, explore films by theme, save a list of favorite films and target films viewed by people nearby.
