Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Balablok is a 1972 animated short film (7 1/2 minutes) directed by Břetislav Pojar, produced by the National Film Board of Canada.The story takes place in a world populated by geometrical shapes. Rectangular solids with lines for arms and legs and happy faces for, well, faces, stroll around chatting and doffing their tops to each other. Everything seems happy and pleasant, until two rectangular solids meet—a sphere. The two rectangles bully the sphere, until the sphere comes back with his two sphere buddies. Bad things ensue.

The Bully: The first two rectangles that pick on the sphere are, bouncing it around like a ball. Of course the sphere turns the tables, it and its buddies turning the two rectangles into dice, and the Escalating War is underway.

Everyone Knows Morse: The shapes speak to each other in Simlish, but when it's time to summon reinforcements for the war, each turn back and send Morse code signals out of their mouths.

Escalating War: Starts with two rectangles picking on a sphere. Ends with a massive war between the rectangles and spheres with quite a lot of damage.

Here We Go Again!: The rectangles and the spheres have achieved peace by beaten themselves into look-alike polygons. All is happy again... and then a triangle walks by.

Combining Mecha: The rectangles can stack themselves to form a sort of war cube.
