Isambard Inkblot's miniature "Lombard" log hauler, going out to retrieve a pink fake Christmas tree from a clearance sale. Zeppelin is steering, having tied some reins from his harness to the steering tiller. Inkblot, in the cab, hasn't a clue what direction they're headed, but trusts his brother implicitly.
A few new animation techniques in this little scene, mainly methods for more efficiently animating vehicles as rigs. Zeppelin is also a partial rig. For those unfamiliar, think "Ivor the Engine" type cutout animation, but done digitally so it can be combined with traditional cel animation. Might do a little sequence with this, since the Lombard has already been made.
Music is "Globetrotter" by Joe Meek and the Tornadoes, 1962.
