Bretislav Pojar's animated short explores the human phenomenon of resorting to violence over reason. The cubes live happily amongst themselves until one of them encounters a ball. War erupts and they fight until they all become the same again - this time in the form of hexagons. All is right in the world until one of them stumbles upon a triangle… Winner of the 1973 Grand Prix du Festival for Short Film at the International Film Festival in Cannes.
Directed by Bretislav Pojar - 1972 | 7 min

This reminds me of what's going on here in America. Democrats and republicans fighting each other, instead of just working together.

What an awesome video! This should have like 10 million views. We could all learn a lot from this video on how to treat one another, and how silly it is to dislike someone just based solely on their appearance. Thanks for the upload!! 💯💯💯💯
