George Takei narrates this animated short subject from Ireland. Actually, it isn't particularly animated. It falls into that class of show that is referred to slightingly as "radio with pictures". If this had been offered as a radio script, it would have worked very well. Given its appearance in a visual medium, however means that it needs some pictures and movement: hence the put down phrase.
That said, it is a very amusing bit of radio with pictures as a squirrel goes in search of .... his missing scarf. He discovers a series of animals, each of whom recounts his increasingly long-winded, neurotic phobia and listens to the squirrel's analyst-like comments. It's hard to tell which is being mocked more: the psychotic, self-absorbed modern mind or the methodology which ignores emotions as illogical and contra-factual. Maybe they should have gotten George Takei's ex-cast mate, Leonard Nimoy, to narrate. Or perhaps he would have charged too much.
