What on Earth

http://media1.nfb.ca/medias/flash/ONFflvplayer-gama.swf

Great little animation from 1966 by Les Drew & Kaj Pindal from the National Film Board of Canada.

This animated short proposes what many earthlings have long feared – that the automobile has inherited the planet. When life on Earth is portrayed as one long, unending conga-line of cars, a crew of extra-terrestrial visitors understandably assume they are the dominant race. While humans, on the other hand, are merely parasites.
