Snif & Snüf Confront the Shapes of Things

In this animated short, two characters, Snif & Snüf we assume, encounter a circle and a square -which eventually becomes a “wreck-tangle” as they explore the possibilities. The story involves one-upmanship, selfishness, and learning to share. But while the story is rather cute, it’s not the story that’s the most remarkable thing about the cartoon. Snif & Snüf is a new animation by Michael Ruocco, but it evokes the early days of the medium, when the whole point of animation was to humorously illustrate things that cannot be done by live actors. The retro look is delightful. Another thing that’s particularly impressive is the score. The cartoon has no dialogue, no words at all, but the music emphasizes every movement perfectly, which is rarely seen in modern animation. Ruocco’s fans have been following the development of this cartoon on Twitter and are delighted to see the finished product. -via Metafilter
