"The Present", a short film by Jacob Frey

This short, animated film has been popping around the interwebs. It was directed and animated by Jacob Frey and developed with several others as a thesis project at the Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg in Ludwigsburg, Germany. 

When we first started watching it we were pretty angry at the kid who gets this new present. The child in question, who appears entranced in his video game, at first treats his present poorly due to something missing. Then, we find out why. A well done animation with an awesome point.
