OPPS, 1min., USA

Directed by Wallis Liu

Inside a crowded claw machine, an orange doll is rejected by his purple peers because of his color and an uncontrollable, embarrassing habit. When the giant metal claw drops, the group selfishly shoves the outcast into the center as a sacrifice. However, the plan backfires when the claw misses him and accidentally snags one of the bullies instead. Seeing his tormentor trapped, the orange doll must use his most awkward flaw to shake up the machine and try to save him.
