The Dot and the Line. 1965. Dir. Chuck Jones.

"This is the anguished tale of a sensible straight line who falls in love with a dot. The dot, however, finding the line stiff, dull, and conventional, turns her affections toward a wild and unkempt squiggle. The story ends with a punning moral: "To the vector belong the spoils.""

This must be based on the book by Norton Juster, author of the Phantom Tollbooth.
