I've just come from the movie theater, where I saw the nominees for the 2016 Best Animated Shorts Oscar. This was included, even though it was not nominated. It was my favorite of the eight and a fine cartoon on any terms.
This is a cartoon of a man who lives his routine, black-and-white life upon a black-and-white, horizontal line. Every day is like another. Then one day he runs into a feminine-looking, curvy, pink figure and matters change...and not just in the way I thought they would.
I love everything about this cartoon, from the story, to the manner in which it is drawn -- for a fan of silent comedy like me, the fact that the protagonist is represented by a pair of glasses and a straw boater hat, suggesting Harold Lloyd, is an asset -- to the jokes.
