Kids that appear different often get bullied. The pressure to conform can be overwhelming, and those who cannot suffer greatly. We've all seen campaigns to fight this tendency, to encourage acceptance of others, and to boost the confidence of those who don't quite fit in with the crowd. The short film We’re Kinda Different by Ben Meinhardt takes that concept to a higher plane by making the protagonist a small marshmallow with a butt where his torso would normally be.
The idea is so ridiculous, you can't help but laugh. This little guy has his talents, like playing the trumpet. But the reactions from the people around him tear at his self-esteem anyway. Over the course of the song, we get to see the pure and innocent soul underneath that butt. His determination to hold his head high eventually changes those who recoiled at the sight of him, and his confidence spreads to others who may be considered different. -via Kuriositas

Closed captions would help. I could not understand what it was saying.
