Edgar Allen Poe?

One of the best (short) movies I've ever seen. It's dark,creepy &
shocking, but also funny & (kind of) cute. It seems to be a poem of
Edgar Allen Poe, but with real persons, and also some stop-motion
elements. This movie is simply brilliant!!! (And that by 4 min.
runtime). Where can I get it? Is it already released on DVD? Maybe as
bonus material?

I saw it on the net somewhere, but it was in relatively bad quality. A DVD would be nicer.

Nope, there's no Poe connection here. The film was inspired by a recurring nightmare Morgan's sister had when they were kids.

The imagery reminds me more of H.P. Lovecraft.

"The imagery reminds me more of H.P. Lovecraft."

I was thinking more so of Thomas Ligotti when I saw this.
Cat, hands, nonsense.
