Dans un tourbillon de couleurs et de fantaisie verbale, ce court métrage d’animation raconte l'histoire des moyens de transport utilisés au Canada, depuis le canot d'écorce des autochtones jusqu'à la soucoupe volante des rêveurs de notre siècle, en passant par la diligence, le voilier, le bateau à vapeur, la charrette, le train, l'automobile et l'avion. Ce film a remporté la Palme d'or du meilleur court métrage d'animation au Festival de Cannes en 1953. Il a aussi été le premier film d'animation de l'ONF en nomination aux Oscars la même année.
