UPA’s style of circles, squares, triangles, and other geometric shapes to form its characters and background environments gives just the right amount of visual information to portray expressive characters and spaces. In “Rooty Toot Toot” the film takes advantage of the use of color to represent different spaces or exaggerate the mood of a scene. Some characters aren’t colored in and only outlined and other characters are only a single color. The movement of the characters in the film is snappy similar to Looney Tunes except for a lot less detailed. The film manages to create an interesting and funny story with all of these abstract elements. My favorite aspect was the shifting colors between the different testimonies being told and the bright red that showed up right when she was found not guilty. It captured the absurdity of the celebration and helps seal the gag by the end.
