* BigHonkingTrafficJam: Stymied traffic seen by the Martian probe begin honking, which brings a "worker" (caterpillar construction machinery) on the double. The "worker" chews up the obstructive mountains, and lays down more smooth roadway in mere seconds, alleviating the backlog, which quiets the honking.

''What on Earth!'' is a 1968 animated short film co-directed by Les Drew and Kaj Patel, produced by the Creator/NationalFilmBoardOfCanada.
A spaceship from Mars makes an "earthshot" in an attempt to document conditions on Earth. The Martians soon determine that the dominant life form on Earth is the automobile. The Martian documentary then studies the habits and culture of the automobile, and how cars deal with the "pests" that infest them and so much of their world--namely, human beings.
