16 mm composite optical track print, 550 feet, 15 minutes
This Bill Snyder film sandwiches images of the Bobcat performing a wide variety of tasks between a couple dancing to boogie-style music on a disco dance floor. Bobcats are also featured "dancing" via stop motion animation on the disco floor. Bobcats are shown being lifted by cranes, fitting in tight spaces, hauling plants and bags of soil, transplanting and uprooting small trees, cleaning manure, digging a trench and post holes, sweeping, and moving debris, metal, shredded paper, dirt, gravel, large rocks, hay, beehives, snow, and boxes.
