please help me remember/find this short

[Sarah451]

There was an animated short, produced at least as far back as the early 60's, possibly earlier, about a line who was in love with a circle. She found him rigid and preferred a squiggle. The line finally found a way to bend, delighting the circle with the complex forms he could make. She left the squiggle, and she and the line lived happily ever after. I believe it was narrated by Edward Everett Norton.

I've been trying to hunt down the studio and possibly a copy of it, but I can't remember the title for certain. Can anyone help?

This cartoon is an Academy Award winning shorts, The Dot and the Line directed by Chuck Jones, produced by SIB Tower 12/ MGM and based on the Norman Juster book. It's one of two non-Tom & Jerry cartoons produced by Jones at Metro (the other was The Bear Who Wasn't based on the book by Frank Tashlin who collaborated with Jones on the cartoon)

I believe I saw it once on AMC or TCM.

This was in a line of shorts that Jones was using objects (such as musical notes, and dots) and doing lots of things with them. This is his best work IMO.
