''Sylvia'' is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Michel Murray and released in 1985. 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.
