I think I saw this on MTV in the late 90's (but maybe it was later). I remember the video vividly even though I had only seen it once up until now. I still love the story, I hope you can find something meaningful to you in this short animated film by Mark Osborne.
Mark Osborne's MORE
Nominated for an Academy Award and awarded the Best Short Film at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, MORE is a stop-motion mixed-media short film written and directed by Mark Osborne, the co-director of Kung Fu Panda and the upcoming animated feature film based on the iconic book The Little Prince. MORE tells the story of an old, tired inventor as he struggles through joyless life in a drab and passionless society, leading the same cold and colorless existence accepted by the identical drones around him. At once tortured and inspired by his dreaming of and yearning for his younger carefree days, he struggles to finish the invention he hopes will give his life meaning and worth. His world, and the world of those around him, is transformed when his secret invention is completed. However, his subsequent success does not come without sacrifice. The inventor realizes that the true essence of his inspiration cannot be manufactured... Available on DVD along with an hour long making of documentary called MAKING MORE at www.happyproduct.com
