Here's a one-sided exporation as a rather goonish-looking, drooling man -- I believe -- gets ready to kiss the object of his affection. Assuming that title is accurate.

It's from the seventh round of the National Film Board of Canada's Hothouse series. This was intended to give aspiring animators chance to create their own works, so long as they could keep them short.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
