The Heart That Changed Color

About This Movie

The Heart That Changed Color is a fascinating little piece from '75, directed by Myron Waldman. It's a short animated PSA featuring the Tin Woodman and Scarecrow from Oz, who take on a rather serious theme—preventing woodland creatures from picking up cigarettes. The animation style captures that classic, almost whimsical vibe you’d expect from the era. There’s a notable contrast in tone; while it’s light-hearted, the message is rather poignant. The pacing is quick but it doesn’t feel rushed, allowing you to absorb the quirky charm of the characters. It’s interesting how it blends fantasy with a real-world concern, which makes it stand out in the realm of animation. The performances are lively and quite fitting for the characters, enhancing the overall atmosphere.
