They get younger every year

Long-shot: I'm looking for an animated short from the 80's. It involves a very young boy who was accidentally drafted into the army, and nobody seems to recognize that he doesn't belong there. I believe it was on a collection of award winners from some film festival. Thanks!

Sounds like Munro from the 1960.

Rather, "from 1960". You can watch it here.

It's most likely Jule Feiffer's Munro from 1960. Watch it here. You may have confused the date because the VHS of collected animated films came out in 1984.

Indeed! And I think you're right slograffiti about the source of my error.

Problem solved -- Thanks!

That film is delightful. Thanks for asking the question.
