Jason Kottke jogs my memory and reminds me of the wonderful Canadian animated film “What On Earth!”. This film shows what many Earthlings have long feared (and what Martians might logically deem to be the case) — that the automobile has inherited the Earth. An animated film, it shows life on Earth as one long, unending conga-line of cars. The Martian visitors judge them to be the true inhabitants of Earth, while we seem to be parasites infesting the autos. I recall seeing this on an ancient cable network in the 70s – probably Z Channel or maybe Select. It’s been on Cartoon Network’s “Oh Canada!” show a little more recently. Still remember the snappy theme music.
