How it feels

A man sits in a chair and sings a love song about his partner's face. As he sings, his own face twists into bizarre shapes like a balloon or an ice cream cone.

What happens

Your Face is a 1987 animated short film by Bill Plympton. It involves a man seated in a chair crooning about the face of his lover, and as he sings, his own face starts to distort in various ways. His face is distorted into many different shapes, such as a balloon, a cube and an ice cream cone. His song ends abruptly when a mouth opens in the floor and swallows him and the chair whole; after the closing credits, the mouth reappears and licks its lips. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
