        Storyline

        Did you know

        • Trivia
          The "instruction card" in the Breakfast segment appears to actually be an instructions-for-entry form for an unidentified international animation festival. Although the text is partially erased and obscured, you can make out references to entries, storyboards, VHS and U-Matic videotape, ability to compete, authorship, and dates (November 1991-November 1992 and an October submission deadline).
        • Goofs
          During breakfast, when the man wipes his face with a napkin, his glasses disappear.
