I'm trying to find something that's been haunting my dreams for a while now. Sometimes I think about it and it creeps me out a bit. It was a claymation or 3d animated video on YT in the late 2000s. I was sitting in the backseat of my grandmas car, and I was watching videos on my mom's ipod touch. This one video comes up titled "wishful thinking" or something along the lines.
It involved two siblings who find a genie lamp on a dock, and they each get wishes. The sister wishes for fame and popularity; she is shown with people taking pictures of her and wearing a fur coat. I don't remember what the brother asked for, it's been too long. It may have been money or wealth. But after he completes his wish, the sister starts to bicker. They get in a spat and wish each other out of existence/to die. The video closes with the now empty dock in complete silence, and two crows watching.
The video sticks out to me just because of how surreal it was; there was no speech, just classical music in the background. It was very dimly lit, with a greenish tint, due to the dock location being near a green river. It may have been Nightmare before Christmas clay style. If anyone knows anything, please let me know. I've been searching YouTube for years now for closure.
I want to say it looked almost like a professional made it, it was very progressive art house looking. Kinda like fantastic Mr fox but worse. Maybe it was for a highlight reel or a work showcase like the Shrek animatic? It might have also been 3d animated, maybe in blender. Thanks for your help in advance!

I tried using various keywords from my description on Google, and using a time parameter between 2005 (start of YouTube) and 2012 (latest I could've possibly seen it), I wasn't able to find anything familiar to my memory. I think I may have the title way wrong. I also don't know when YouTube started using tags, so that may be another barrier
Closest thing I can think of, but it's probably not it. It's possible it wasn't originally from YouTube, but was uploaded on YouTube.
Yeah, this is definitely not it, but it was worth a watch. It is highly likely it couldve been from somewhere else as it was still a bit in the earlier days of YouTube. Thanks for your input!

Thanks I heard about it in a Top15s list. It's pretty similar, and the time frame fits, so I thought it was worth a shot.
