NBC Valentine Greeting from 1940 is this sweet little animation that plays with the concept of love through two animated hearts. They frolic around, morphing into various forms, and engage in this playful dance of affection, shooting arrows and ultimately merging into one. The simplicity of the design and the gentle pacing creates a light, whimsical atmosphere, emphasizing themes of unity and love. The practical effects, while basic by today's standards, have their own charm, showcasing the creativity in animation from that era. It's an interesting piece to study, especially within the context of holiday-themed animations of the time.
This short has limited circulation, which adds to its allure for collectors. It was primarily shown as seasonal programming, making original copies quite rare. There’s definitely a niche interest in vintage holiday animations, and this one stands out for its unique take on the Valentine’s theme, drawing attention from those who appreciate early animated works.
