“A short story about a relationship between two very distinct animals, shown through experimental language.”
In a colorful and engaging two-minute animation, a small story is developed within the language of experimental cinema. The narrative explores the relationship between two very different characters, drawing a comparison between them and two animals: the Elephant and the Bird. Each animal represents one of the human figures, and they attempt to become similar to each other in order to be together. Gradually, they come to realize that simply accepting their differences is preferable and healthier, ultimately allowing them to grow and move forward together.

It's October 7th and Chip is working industriously to store enough acorns in the tree for the winter. Dale would rather sleep in his matchbox, but an angry kick from Chip gets him working furiously. But there's only so much they can do. Their tree is nearly out of acorns. Luckily, the two semi-intelligible chipmunks happen to see the half-unintelligible Donald Duck, a park ranger, planting acorns. They immediately set to steal his bag of the precious nuts. Donald soon realizes what they are up to, and sets out a box propped up with a stick. It's a crude trap, with an acorn as bait; but it's not too crude to fool Dale, who upsets it and traps Chip. Soon, Donald finds he can have fun instigating a fight between these two quarrelsome chipmunks, but he underestimates their friendship and their ability to work as a team against a common enemy: in this case, a bad-tempered duck.
