About 5 years ago, a friend shared a link with me to view an animated short. I didn't save it, and have been craving to see it and share it with another friend. It would mean a great deal to this person in a time of need. Can you help? Here are the particulars I recall: - Animated short, perhaps 10-ish minutes long? - A small boy? in a family is constantly beset by not fitting in. - The small boy? has a young sister. - The young parents use "traditional methods" to "straighten out" the small boy so he fits in. - It just doesn't happen. - It ends by the small boy being loaded by tearful parents onto a spaceship, which eventually reveals the destination to be that of our earth. - It I remember correctly, it rather leaves open whether the boy who doesn't fit in, fits in on earth?
Can you help me find it? Thank you so much for considering.
