"Feral" (2013).

"Feral," one of the top animated shorts of 2013, is about a wild boy who is found in the woods by a solitary hunter and brought back to civilization. Alienated by a strange new environment, the boy tries to adapt by using the same strategies that kept him safe in the forest.

Now, this is no "Frozen." You have to bear in mind that this is the work of one very-talented guy, not an entire studio. Someday, he'll probably be directing a "Frozen" of his own. Shorts are great for giving aspiring animators an idea of what one person can accomplish. Entire animated feature films, where a team of animators will work on one character alone, can be a bit intimidating for anyone contemplating the field.
