I’m trying to get the name of a series of animated shorts from a couple years ago.  
I THINK it was claymation and the basic story arc was the adventures of a family of cave men/people.

All I can remember aside from that was that it was a french (Im almost positive Quebec) production and it was friggin hilarious.

Anyone have any clue at all of what Im talking about?

Presuming you saw it on Teletoon like I did (I don’t know which Hamilton you’re from), probably the fact that 9/10 of the shorts they showed back then were from either France or Quebec?

(I miss the shorts. Gogs and Lolita, Lolita, particularly.)
