This short won the Academy Award. There will be minor spoilers ahead:
This short is very brief and is simply an old joke animated. I heard the joke for the first time before the short was made in 1971 and it was an old joke when I heard it the first time.
It's a cute, simple concept. I wouldn't have given it the Oscar because the other two nominees are very good shorts. I probably would have given the award to The Selfish Giant myself. But I have no problems with this winning. Second-guessing the Academy more than 40 years later is a fun pastime, but The Crunch Bird will still be the winning short after we're done rehashing the choice.
Besides, I wouldn't want to attract the attention of the Crunch Bird. Things which do don't last terribly long! ;) This short is floating around online and it doesn't seem to be too hard to find. It's worth watching. Recommended because it's a fun, fast three or so minutes.
