Wow, there's a good Youtube comment in that thread:

I remember meeting Mr. Newland in BC back in 2007 where he explained that this was made in the last minutes for his final project in animation school. He ran out of time helping his fellow classmates with their projects and had nothing to make. That's why this has no colour. It had to be 1 minute 30 seconds long so he lengthened the movie with text and nail movement. Thinking nothing of it, he passed his class, and this was submitted and won an animation award.

Absolute classic, I came here to post that very thing.

But those people wouldn't really take a swipe at Bambi or Thumper, she says.
