Glen Keane's Duet works for the most part thanks to its kinetic energy and everything in it to move and operate with a graceful fluidity, almost effectively making this short dreamlike. Produced as part of Google's Spotlight Stories, the short consists of two young characters, a boy and a girl, who enjoy dancing and allowing themselves to be lost in the motions of their body, with their world consisting of white outlines representing characters, objects, and locations all encompassed in a midnight blue palette. The whimsical factor in Duet is quite high, and at four minutes, there's little to note other than it's a serviceable short that at least manages to halfway mesmerize thanks to its ability to always have something constantly moving and a static, single-color background.
