Snif & Snüf

Two characters, Snif & Snüf, we assume, encounter a circle and a square -which eventually becomes a "wreck-tangle." The story involves one-upmanship and learning to share. But 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 illustrate things that cannot be done by live actors. The retro look is delightful. Another thing that's particularly impressive is the musical score- the music emphasizes every movement perfectly, which is rarely seen in modern animation.
