This is the type of short that would likely not be done without something like the National Film Board of Canada doing the funding, as it really isn't that financially viable. An independent studio would probably be happy to tackle something like it (and some have) if funds aren't a problem. The short is, to all intents and purposes, a music video for the folk song Log Driver's Waltz. It begins with a quite brief live action shot of a log driver at work and changes into animation for the remainder of its length. The music is great, the animation is cute and the whole package is quite charming. This shows periodically on O Canada, when that show is on the Cartoon Network's schedule. Well worth watching. Recommended.
