Looking for other National Film Board of Canada cartoons

A few years ago, I saw a video that my cousins owned, which had this and a few other Canadian cartoons on it (including "The Cat Came Back", "Carried Away", and "Get A Job")...my cousins are half canadian, so they got the video from Canada. I've been looking around to see whether there are any copies of this video or any of the cartoons from this video online....I'd love to see them again, especially "Get A Job" and one about procrastinating (a guy who's meant to be practising for his piano recital)...does anyone remember these? And if so, does anyone know where I can find them?
Thanks so much...I'm looking forward to some responses.

I remember the one called "The cat came back" Weird but funny. Wallace and Gromit are very funny.

The one about the guy procrastinating on the piano is called "Getting Started".

You can find a lot of animations sponsored by the NFB (National Film Board) online at http://zed.cbc.ca/ CBC's now-finished show, Zed, a showcase of indie and other non-corporate stuff, search around for animation... over 10 thousand available online.

Big snit and cat came back are readily available on youtube. Well they were when I last looked.

The NFB has a beta site up now and there are several hundred films free to stream. Not sure if they are filtering IP addresses to limit to Canada.
