Running For Empties (1988)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utbT3IL3P2Y
This is a 9 minute short from New Zealand about two schoolboys and a man in short shorts who deliver glass bottles of milk.
It is wholesome, sincere, and grounded, yet it has several over the top moments. Like an animation of the van turning into a spaceship. Or a cat knocking a bottle off a wall.
It ends on a note that soon people will be able to buy milk from grocery stores, leaving the kids (and the viewer) as witnesses to the end of an era.
