The Chaperone 3D is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Fraser Munden and released in 2013.[1] Blending several different styles of animation and puppetry, the film reenacts the true story of Ralph Whims and Stefan Czernatowicz, who were once present as a chaperone and DJ at a school dance that was invaded by a biker gang which Whims and Czernatowicz had to personally fight off.[2]

The film premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and was the runner up for best short film.[2]

The film was named to TIFF's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for 2013,[3] and received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Short Documentary Film at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards.[4]
