Sundae in New York

The towering Empire State Building and the still-standing Twin Towers signify the arrival of a sunny day in New York. In a corner of the city, a bald man lying on a bench removes the newspaper covering him and sits up. This relaxed and optimistic man takes the audience on a tour of every famous or ordinary landmark in New York, witnessing the unremarkable days of ordinary people. He sings and speaks, celebrating the Big Apple—a city that captivates the world while also hiding its flaws. No matter what, this is New York, a cloud-borne nation that carries countless dreams. Let go of prejudices, open your arms, and embrace this magical city! This film won the 1984 56th Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.
