I've watched this short a couple of times and what's interesting is that in such a short period of time the writer/director does an amazing job getting me to care for a character (well, 5 characters) that I know literally nothing about. Each time I watch this, I realize that I want to know more about the story and the world being created here and I watch with fascination the slight, delicate bonding scenes that hook me each time. The filmmakers mix animation and live action to amazing effect. These moments are so well done, I overlook some slightly more "seen-them-before" moments with the "go-on-take-a-shot" bad guy. So while I agree there's not a lot of context to this film (yet!), it's a film worth watching because I bet all kinds of money we're going to see more from Scott Leberecht.
