A Case of Spring Fever (1940): Industrial film about a man tormented by a mischeivous animated spring
A gem from The Prelinger Archives: An impish spring named Coily curses a fellow who complains about springs by removing all springs from his environment. When the man repents and becomes a convert to the Cult of Coily, he bores his friends by incessantly singing the praises of springs.
I believe in this and it's been tested by research: He who slams springs will later join the church (of Coily).
