Baby grows up, leaves comfort of home and finally enters the coffin that generates the electricity required to raise the next baby.

I thought that the utter lack of other "people" in the short was striking and I think the main character quickly realized that he was alone and without much hope of changing that fact. Maybe this is a fact that is too advanced for a toddler, but Happy Machine is a concept animation. In fact, Happy Machine reminded me of "The Diary of Tortov Roddle" in a lot ways besides just the world design. You gave it an 80, but I'd have to up that to an 85.
