Holy crap! At less than six minutes long, this short picture managed to make me cry more than any other Pixar film out there.
I've never seen such intense realism in an animated film. The themes are extremely adult, featuring some graphic violence, leaving a very big emotional impact.
You would never believe Pixar would go so dark and bleak as it does here, but there have been hints of it in several of their feature films. The first fifteen minutes of Up, the toys accepting their death in Toy Story 3 and the death of Nemo's mother and siblings in Finding Nemo.
See the film for yourself online. I can definitely say it deserves an Oscar.
