Trying to identify a cartoon from my childhood [S]

I've been trying to identify a cartoon from my childhood for about 5 years now. I had almost given up hope and assumed it was just something I had either imagined or dreamed about when I was a child and just thought was a cartoon, because no one that I ever talked to it about had any idea what I was talking about. However, I asked my dad about it, and he vaguely remembered the cartoon as well. Since I have confirmation that this catroon actually exists, I decided to make a post here about it. 

Here's everything I remember about the cartoon's airing:

• I don't think it was a show, since I only remember seeing it once. It may have possibly been either a short film or a pilot.
• I didn't watch it as part of an anthology or collection.
• I watched the cartoon between 2005 - 2008.
• I watched it in the morning, somewhere between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM
• I don't think I watched it on any large network channels such as Disney, Cartoon Network, or Nickelodeon, since we did not have cable at the time and only had public broadcasting.
• I lived close to the Maine/New Brunswick border at the time, so our TV picked up Canadian channels. Because of this, I believe there is a possibility of the show being in French.
• I most likely watched it on either MPBN or CBC.
