She's not good enough for you! She lacks depth! Here's a little oddball I'd almost forgotten about: "A Dot and a Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics," directed by Chuck Jones in 1965 during his MGM stint. It's based on the 1963 book by the same name, authored by Norton Juster. The point of the story is that, if you want a relationship to work, you have to be willing to bend a little. You'll see. "Dot and Line" was the winner of the 1965 Oscar for best animated short.
