Your Face is a 1987 animated short film by Bill Plympton.[1] It involves a man seated in a chair crooning about the face of his lover, and as he sings, his own face starts to distort in various ways. His face is distorted into many different shapes, such as a balloon, a cube and an ice cream cone. His song ends abruptly when a mouth opens in the floor and swallows him and the chair whole; after the closing credits, the mouth reappears and licks its lips.
Lyrics
The song is original,[5] made specifically for this short film, and the lyrics depict a metaphorical description of someone's face by using musical vocabulary to describe the beauty of their features.[6]
