This short is the first to be nominated for Cartoon Short for the Oscar that was produced by the National Film Board of Canada. Fairly funny and well-done (I doubt I'll ever see one produced by the NFBC that's actively bad), it has a certain charm, but is really not terribly significant otherwise. Worth Watching.
