Your Face is an American animated short film directed by Bill Plympton in 1987. The song Your Face , written for the film, was sung by Maureen McElheron and then slowed down to sound like a man's voice.

action

A crooner in a suit sings the title Your Face about the beauty of the face. His head and part of his upper body can always be seen. In the course of the song, the head disintegrates in the most varied of ways and then reassembles itself back into its original image. Sometimes it disintegrates, turns into a block, disintegrates into many points, knots, turns, sometimes more heads grow out of the head, sometimes another head passes through the current one at a right angle. In the end, the man is swallowed by the ground, who then licks his mouth.

Awards

Your Face was nominated for an Oscar in the category “ Best Animated Short Film ” in 1988 , but could not prevail against The Man Who Planted Trees .

At the 1987 Cannes Film Festival , the film was screened in 1987 in the competition for the Palme d'Or for Best Short Film .
