Sally (2013) by Rune Spaans: The one you want. The ticker-tape machine. The old man. The paper. (Duration: ~6 min)
Sally (2018) by Azylm: A darker, 2D animated horror short about a possessed doll named Sally. This one is gorier and relies on jump scares.

Sally’s struggle is not just to be loved, but to be recognized as a living entity rather than an object of amusement. There is a profound sadness in her interactions with the environment.
