'The Present' is a short 4-minute animation created by Jacob Frey.
The film is about a young boy who seems to prefer his computer games to anything else. Nothing can seem to drag him away.
Until his mother leaves him a gift - an adorable puppy. The boy thinks the puppy is cool until he realises that the puppy has a leg missing. He is such a cruel little boy.
Gradually, the puppy's determination wins him round and they go out to play... at this point we see why the boy may have been averse to having a puppy with three legs. Watch it to find out.
