This is a stop-animation short, featuring two "people," actually just rock formations but, in animated short subjects (cartoons, to most people) we all know inanimate objects are real and talk like people! Anyway, these two likable stoners are near the top of a hill and just kind of observe what is going around them. At first, there is nothing and the short rock-man just sits and fiddles with this round rock. It's like it fascinates him but he can't figure out what to do with it.
Both "guys" watch as humans eventually arrive in the distance and slowly build things. Before you know it, there is road leading past them. The little rock discovers the purpose of that round rock - it's a wheel, and apparently, he says, everything revolves around that "transport" invention.
Later, a huge metallic city arrives - denoting much more passage of time and "progress" - but that doesn't last long....at least when considering the thousands of years that rocks survive. In the end, the rock people and their surroundings are back where they started with only the annoying problem of moss growing on their heads to bother these simple but likable "people." This is a lot of fun to watch, with great animation and a cute and clever story.
