The Ride
The Ride (1963) - Short Film
On a sweltering summer's day, a chauffeur falls asleep in a Rolls Royce limousine, while waiting for his master. He dreams that it's winter, and that he's driving his master to a toboggan run at the top of a huge hill. When he goes back to get his hat (which he'd forgotten at the car), the toboggan starts down the hill without him, but with his oblivious master. What follows is a wild silent comedy chase, with several distinctly Canadian touches thrown in, and a twist at the end. (imdb)

He also meets Santa, who is buzzing through space, with a log cabin on his sleigh, and is able to survive in the vacuum minus a helmet when everyone else needs one. (imdb)
