Synopsis
A collaborative piece by Gore and Beckett, the film begins with one of Gore's characters composing a letter, to eventual mail it. Beckett's animation takes over at this point, transforming the envelope into a looping, cascading form that seems to be perpetually turning itself inside out. A brief Gore finale bookends the piece, which is one of only two extant examples of Gore's unique animation work. This film is usually appended to Gore's own Dream of the Sphinx.

Although not the first feature-length animated film, as is sometimes thought, it was the first cartoon to feature a character with an appealing personality.

The film was also the first to be created using keyframe animation.
