This is a short, privately produced animated film. While elucidating the mystery and fuzziness as well as merits and demerits of memory in idealizing reality, the story develops into a tale of destruction of human beings, turning the existence of the earth into a memory of the universe. The production, only 5 minutes long, greatly helps expand the viewer's imagination, embodying the enchantment of animation.

This comedic short pokes fun of the limitations and flaws to human memory with a narrator covering what perceptions people can work up with their memories and the visuals mixing real-life pictures and abstract visuals to depict one's perceptions of what they see through what they believe they remember. While not visually impressive by modern standards, the abstract drawing style used for Memory is effective in conveying the short's themes of how skewed one's perceptions of reality can be with memory. Those who love abstract works such as this or are an Osamu Tezuka fan will get a treat out of this short.
