Betty Boop butterflies sing and dance as they fly around from flower to flower greeting the inhabitants and getting refreshments for their efforts. -- This is from the 1950s so the animation is grainy, there are no subtitles, the story is simple, the running time is on the short side {9 minutes and 15 seconds), the credits are at the start of the video, and the music is cheary. The title is slightly misleading as it implies there is one butterfly and one flower when there are three of each. The characters are also not exactly as advertised/not your typical fauna or flora. Both the butterflies and the flowers are semi-chibi humanoid creatures. They also eat and drink items considered human food. -- Friendship, common courtesy and reciprocity are the main messages this anime was created to share. The butterflies help a fallen bird return to his nest. The butterflies search for a flower willing to allow them all a place to avoid the rain. The storm brings out the worst and the best in different creatures. -- If you’ve got a caring heart, Pay it forward. If not spend 9 minutes elsewhere. There are plenty of other animes with the same/similar message(s).
