This short was nominated for the Academy Award for Animated Short. There will be spoilers ahead:
This is an incredibly short (only a bit under two and a half minutes) cartoon. There's essentially no dialog, just a few wordless exclamations from a delivery driver.
An orange and pink octopi, clearly in love with each other, are in a tank at a market when the pink one is pulled out of the tank and sold. The orange one, knowing that this means the pink one is about to become a meal, pursues here and the chase is on. The sight of an octopus on his window shocks and angers the driver and the struggle begins.
The driver has serious anger management issues and needs to learn to watch the road. It ends up being a very bad day for him, with his delivery van winding up in the drink. Through a series of incidents, escapes and encounters, the lovers finally get rid of the driver, only to have life throw them a curve which reverses roles for the pair and starts things going again.
This short can be found here and there and is well worth seeking out. Most recommended.
