No Problem is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Craig Welch and released in 1992.[1] The film centres on a lonely man who wants to be in a relationship with a woman, but every time he goes on a date his id and superego both come out to wreck the opportunity.[1]

The film was influenced by the comic style of NFB animators Cordell Barker and Richard Condie.[2]

The film premiered at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival, in competition for the Short Film Palme d'Or.[3] It was a Genie Award nominee for Best Animated Short Film at the 14th Genie Awards in 1993.[4]
