From BobbyS :

This Oscar nominated short is a masterpiece to the ears & eyes, with great sound effects & a nice vibrant and abstract animation style. When I first saw this on DVD, with the abstract titles, I was expecting a Rudy Larriva Coyote & Roadrunner short (and I honestly have a soft spot for those shorts, because I saw 10 of them on Cartoon Network in the early 2010's), but this turned out to be a great surprise!
