About the Small Square and the Small Triangle

About This Movie

So, 'About the Small Square and the Small Triangle' is this charming little piece by Zdeněk Miler from 1965. It's all about the interactions between simple geometric shapes, which sounds basic but there's something very engaging about the way they move and interact. The animation style is quite distinctive, with a soft color palette and smooth, fluid motions that really convey personality. It’s not just shapes on a screen; it captures a playful essence, almost like a visual poem. The pacing is gentle, allowing you to soak in the imagery without feeling rushed, which lends itself nicely to the themes of balance and simplicity.

This film has seen a bit of a niche collector interest over the years, primarily because of Miler's unique style and the limited availability of prints. It's not overly common on the market, and while not a mainstream title, those who appreciate animation history often seek it out. Various formats have appeared, but original releases in good condition are becoming harder to find, which makes it a curious piece for dedicated collectors.
