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.

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.

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

Chicks (dots) always dig squiggles until it’s time to settle down with a straight line smh

Echoing the sentiment that the line is a chump who should find someone who'll love him for who he is instead of feeding this fixation on pursuit of the dot that won't develop into anything but mere conquest.

You know once line has enough of circle's awful personality, they're getting split up.

What a curve digger. Well done, line, she will leave you for something more flexible.

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

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

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.
