Caution: spoilers.

This was made in 2010, but was never released theatrically. In 2015, it was released on Blu-ray/DVD as part of the "Walt Disney Animation Studios Short Films Collection."

So... there's this clock shop. When the owner goes home at the end of the day, the clocks all come to life. There's one little clock, which is something of a novelty, and all the other clocks make fun of it. It seems like the clock itself tries to get rid of the novelty aspect of itself. But anyway, at midnight, a thief breaks into the shop and steals a bunch of clocks. He uses their sounding of the hour to cover the sound of his breaking in. But the clock that no one wants manages to save the day, by virtue of the fact that it runs slow. And in the end, the other clocks all come to respect the one they'd previously laughed at. It's kind of sweet, I guess. And kind of amusing. Not something I imagine I'll find particularly memorable, but not a bad way to spend six minutes.
