En route

This animation of French pioneer Emile Cohl is only about five minutes long, but even at that short duration it takes too long to put its message across. It opens with a walking caveman who quickly grows tired walking and rests on a rock. The man eventually captures a horse, and before long he has invented the chariot, which slowly progresses into a train and car. On water, having observed fish swimming around, man invents the boat and then the ship. (imdb)
