The Cow Who Wanted to be a Hamburger (0:10) 2010

This short film animation was given a "highly commended" and not a nomination for an Oscar. A calf sees an advertisement for Happy Hamburger and wants to go with the other cows as they are loaded onto the truck. The calf is too little so he begins to "bulking up by exercising, eating tremendous amounts of food. Eventually, the calf weighs enough to go with the other cows. He exits the truck and walks up the ramp and to his terror he is in line for the slaughter house. Will he save himself or will he be saved? I wasn't crazy about the animation style but did enjoy the story especially the scene when the calf is working hard to put on weight. Actually, he could have had some of mine.
