I was just randomly searching through old seasonals and stumbled upon this 18 minute short known as Fukusuke.

Story:
Fukusuke follows a small frog in a frog society. Or something like that. After a small incident, this frog is left with a condition that only allows him to be upside down. Yes I'm serious. I won't spoil much from this point on however the story follows this frog as his townspeople try to fix this unknown issue. Despite being only 18 minutes, this story has a rising action, a climax, and a resolution that executes it the old fashioned way perfectly.

Sound:
Fukusuke has no dialogue. However like old Disney films, you can easily feel what the characters are feeling and easily describe the situation at hand. Fukusuke left me laughing at how stupid the sounds this frog world made.

Art:
The art for this time isn't anything to brag about as you would expect. Don't go in expecting some top notch animation. Since Fukusuke's art isn't what makes it so great. However one thing to note is that it's old nostalgic art is will definitely keep you relaxed.

Characters:
The story follows the main character, the young frog. We meet tons of other frogs and even some god frogs. Since this is only 18 minutes long, it doesn't focus much on specific characters. But characeters like the god frogs with his fight scenes was just so goddamn hilarious.

Overall:
Don't go into Fukusuke expecting a masterpiece, because it definitely isn't one. Fukusuke isn't meant to portray some deep themes either, however, it's definitely something you'll be able to enjoy if you go in looking for a fun wacky story about a frog and his adventures.

I would 100% recommend you watch Fukusuke, it's a short 18 minutes long and will leave you dreaming about upside down frogs for the rest of your life.
