“The Sex Life of the Chair” treats the chair as a domesticated animal and develops a theory of its reproductive life to represent in animated drawings. Proposing that the human backside functions much like the airborne insect in plant pollination, the film integrates drawn studies of adolescent chair rotation with a sequence representing a chair’s sexual fantasy of witnessing a dancing pair of pink buttocks. The graphic style eschews the standards for children’s animation in favor of a pseudo-scientific accuracy and precision.
