The charm in Pixar's very original short, "Day and Night," comes from its animation, cleverness and truth. The two characters (Day and Night) are 2-D outlines whose bodies display part of a landscape. When they move around, different parts of the landscape are revealed, as if the audience was scanning a view with a person-shaped telescope. These two characters fight and wrestle when they first meet, jealous of the landscape that the other has within, until they begin to appreciate the good things they see in the other.
It's at this point that they come across a radio broadcast of an Einstein quote about fear of the unknown. In th end, Day experiences a sunset while Night experiences a sunrise -- revealing that what each of them originally feared and disliked in the other is actually part of them, too. "Day and Night" is a fun, silly short that is also quite successful at presenting a moral and showing a truth.
