The Boat, The Car and the House - "Lifeless" Objects Cartoons

Q: I remember Little Toot, a little tugboat trying to prove himself to the other boats. There was another cartoon about a sports car and one about a house. I liked how they showed the life of a "lifeless" object. Unfortunately, I don't know where to find them or even their name for that matter. Do you by any chance?
