It's quite incredible how much Jones can do with so little, and Morley's voice is perfectly suited. While the script could use some work and the story takes a while to get going, it's all made worthwhile by the wonderful pun that finishes the whole thing off.

Clever and solid, but the line could have done better than that shallow dot.

Nice and interesting experiment, although Jones did better stuff.

prolly should've seen it 14 years ago.. or maybe 40?

There are far too many ways to evaluate this: As humor, as math education (we were shown it in grade school), as a reflection on 60's culture, as a parable, etc. But however you look at it, it works.

One of the most handsomely executed of Jones's animated shorts, albeit without following through on its initially great wit and cleverness with any innovative conclusions. Good as it is, it doesn't reveal the greatness that an Oscar nod might imply, but what film ever does?

Needed more math puns.

Charming and funny.

I'm still waiting for the tensor algebra sequel.

I loathe math, and yet I love this cartoon because it is math. Cute story, and has some very interesting abstract animation from Chuck Jones.

8/9/9 - Lovely. A Chuck Jones classic - original, funny and great animation and narration.

Nice idea, but very old style.

oh so true to life

Mathematical shapes explained and shown in a simple and cute way. The moral behind the story is quite stereotypical, but I think of it as a good production for the kids.

Dated in style (in a good way), timeless in story, charming in its simplicity.

Fun and clever. Could have had more math puns, though.

A little slow at points, but still it is one of the most imaginative of shorts.

a wonderfully romantic story submitted solely in geometry. a simplistic masterpiece.

A charming, funny and well animated short film full of maths puns and a lovely, simple little romance.

i honestly have no idea how to rate this.

Sweet and clever.

Surprisingly cute.

Charming, nerdy, and funny
