* DerangedAnimation: A highly stylized and unrealistic style that resembles nothing so much as one of Creator/PabloPicasso's cubist paintings turned into a cartoon, with characters and objects that are really just a series of stylized triangles. Then there are the surreal gags throughout the film. The man can't get any drink out of his bottle--so he turns the bottle upside down and drinks it. Then of course there's the man's ability to create anything, including a living woman, by blowing up balloons.

Added DiffLines:
* TheEnd: Shown in five different languages -- Croatian, English, French, Russian and German. This was typical of cartoons from Zagreb Films.
* EngineeredHeroics: The man produces a shark to go after the woman so he can rescue her.
* GainaxEnding: After deflating and putting everything away, the man then deflates ''the entire beach'', which he apparently brought with him. Then he inflates a highway and drives off... until his car hits a nail on the road, which explodes everything. Nothing is left but the nail, which then chuckles mischievously.

A pot-bellied man arrives at the beach for a day of leisure. He whips out a series of geometric shapes, and, using an airpump, blows them up into various objects, including things like a table, a tent, a grill, and a fish to catch. Things get weirder when he apparently decides he wants companionship, and blows up one of his balloons into a woman.
''Ersatz'' was the first non-American cartoon to win the UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestAnimatedShortFilm.
