A whimsical, surreal animated serenade that transforms a simple love ballad into a playful visual fantasia through hand-drawn metamorphosis.

A tenor, in suit and tie, with a receding hairline, sings a ballad to his love, “Your Face Is Like a Song,” to simple piano accompaniment. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2015.
