Sometime around 1998 I remember seeing these CGI shorts on PBS in between programs. The ones I remember the most are one called "In the Magic Garden" (no relation to the show from the 1970s) featuring a bunch of fairies, one featuring a lion jumping on a block that counted up from 1 to 5, and one involving a weird looking dog in an alley. The only thing I can think of is they might have also aired on the Canadian channel YTV as part of their Short Circuitz series: there was a short on that series called Styro the Dog that looked similar to the dog one I mentioned but the music in the PBS version was different. I don't know if they were produced by PBS or an outside company like American Public Television.
Upon revisit I don't think that was it. It had similar animation but I think there was a scene where the dog was scared by a barking levitating dog leash. Also there was this bluesy song playing in the background.
