MOVIE MOMENT: Which part of the plot do these characters' facial expressions show?

Answer

Based on the plot diagram (plot mountain) and the context of the Pixar short film 'Day & Night', the characters' facial expressions and body language in this moment convey uncertainty, suspicion, and initial tension as they first encounter each other. This occurs during the introduction of the central problem where both characters are introduced and realize their differences, which corresponds to the Exposition or the introduction of the Conflict.
