Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Second Class Mail is a 1985 animated short film (4 minutes) directed by Alison Snowden.An old lady toddles off to the mailbox and sends off a letter. She toddles back to the home where she clearly lives alone. This becomes relevant when she receives a package, which turns out to be a blow-up doll. Not a sex doll, but rather a blow-up doll of an old man.Alison Snowden's first film, made when she was a student at The National Film and Television School. Nick Park, also a student there, was an animator on the short. | |

Visual Pun: At one point when the woman is inflating the doll, what appears to be a pair of pendulous breasts appears. Then the "nipples" expand into feet, and the breasts are revealed to be the doll's lower legs. | |

Downer Ending: It's played for laughs, but still, it's an old lady who's so lonely she gets a blowup doll for a companion, and then she pops it. | |

Limited Animation | |
| Second Class Mail / int_e034faef | comment |
Limited Animation: As one might expect for a student film. The screen generally shows only what the viewer needs to see, on a plain white background. The last scene has the house, one trash can, and one tree, and the rest is plain white. | |
