Beautiful animation from Spain. A lonely scarecrow tries to befriend a group of birds without success, and he can't understand why they don't want to approach him...
such a sad tale of loneliness... It shows how even the blind crow bailed on him even when he helped him out. I saw this when i was a little boy on MTV's Cartoon Sushi and it taught me that even someone you help out will bail on you without thinking twice.
David Jolley Oh. It was so sadly beautiful. Like Jack Skellington in Nightmare before Christmas. But sadder. I cant believe you found it, or did you help make it? Do you know any of the names of the soundtrack? I liked all the music in it, so pretty and so sad. Thank you for showing it. It inspired me.
I like how both sides of the argument are explored in this film. The crows assumed the scarecrow was bad because it is in the nature of scarecrows to be their enemies. It makes a point of how the behaviour of a community can lead to the expectations from an individual from a separate society, practically racism. The humans had encountered something they had never seen before and could not understand, and came to extreme conclusions about how to respond to it, which was to destroy it and return to the same ways they had lived before. This is a moral on experiencing new things that may be terrifying at first, but you would be better off understanding it in the future than neglecting or destroying it and pretending it never happened. Christianity is a great offender of this, as this film shows, as many new discoveries in history were deemed to be evil or supernatural.
What a wonderful piece. The animation, the story line, the voice over, and the timely introduction of the violins...Bravo!! So much better than the trash your contemporaries like Marquess Belial offer.
If I was the farmer: Scarecrow- *wakes me up* ME-"AAAAAHHHHHHHH" Scarecrow:"wait I just wanna talk" Me:"you got some 'splainin to do" Scarecrow:"will you be my friend" Me:"....I got you fam"
honestly this was the most sadess cartoon I have ever seen I luv how the emotion and sadness come together in the music and drawings I give it a thumbs up
Such a lovely film, so poignant. A favourite film of mine which I recently rediscovered; I have added it to my library so I won’t lose track of it again. The animation, narration and soundtrack are all beautiful.
Trying to transgress our nature, we're sentenced to defeat. But sometimes our actions brings rare, good effects. Despite the failure, there are valuable.
I love this! Even though it's so sad, but at least it shows a lesson where you should never judge a person. Also my 5th and 6th grade class are doing a project on this to write a story about teaching a lesson like not to judge people.
TheLaughingFlamingo I wish I was in your class. Sounds cool. Can you draw? Or do you enjoy writing? You could make things like this one day. Good luck.
TheLaughingFlamingo You should, I mean obviously you won't copy but that be awesome. If you don't get lazy like me you'll go pretty far. Hope your project went well I guess that post was old. Well good luck with things anyway.
*This is mankind as always - forever afraid of what he doesn't understand.* *Hi David. I think you should upload the soundtrack to any online store.* *People will want it.* *I know I do.*
They used to show this in my 1st (?) grade classroom back when I was living in TJ and it was part of an english class, it freaked me the fuck out and used to cry everytime the teacher showed it, luckily since my dad was english speaking and I was a lot more advanced than the other kids the teacher let me step out
My interpretation of the moral... Others will always fear/shun/ignore or even hurt someone or something that they don't truly understand. I saw this way back when I was in middle school and even then at that age, this tale struck a cord with me...
Such an amazing story its Lind of like Frankenstein but with birds and scarecrows. Although the story's meaning was quite interesting....that is why the crows are black.

My teacher showed us this in class and... What... This freaking broke my heart. I want to hug the poor scarecrow.
I was honestly hoping the crows would attack the villagers and peck out their eyes.
Star1106 #Thorlove I thought the ash would pollute the air and kill them
The existential 12 year Old. Thats the corporations job.
Loki God Of Lies Cinderella
lol
The thing you telling me animator is mob Justice and it's no justice at all!
Someone told me that she was a teacher and was showing this to her class. They were going to discuss what they learned from this video.
Hey i was in one class that she show to lol
My teacher showed this to us
David Jolley Don’t know if your channel is still active I just want to say thanks for Uploading this
Hey my middle school math teacher showed this to us.

Did you watch all of it, mate?
Only the bad people will. The good ones will stay
I agree. People bailin' on me for months now..
Yeah I know. I remember watching Old Yeller on the reel to reel in grade school. That was so sad. Cruel too. Everybody was crying.
David Jolley Oh. It was so sadly beautiful. Like Jack Skellington in Nightmare before Christmas. But sadder. I cant believe you found it, or did you help make it? Do you know any of the names of the soundtrack? I liked all the music in it, so pretty and so sad. Thank you for showing it. It inspired me.
Raven Black I did the soundtrack. Never released it on its own.
David Jolley Wow what a talented man you are. Wow. So I can't find your music anywhere? I'd like to own it.
You do know why they shot the dog, right?
Cade Cochran rabies?
I want to be the scare crows friend!

To late now he skins people alive and puts their flesh as his

〈The Nickname〉
How much free time do you have?!
〈The Nickname〉 what’s this have to do with the scarecrow?
wtf its just an fucking greek legend, are you high?
I love this explanation and it explains the people that are commenting lol
wow.... nearly anything can be applied by this film, but, you choose to single out Christianity. Clearly, you have biases of your own.
What a wonderful piece. The animation, the story line, the voice over, and the timely introduction of the violins...Bravo!! So much better than the trash your contemporaries like Marquess Belial offer.
I know I'm a couple years late discovering this film, but this was awesome. Reminded me of how I felt growing up in rural North Carolina.
I’m crying. Literally one of the most moving stories I’ve ever heard. 🥺💙
Awe, that was way sadder than i was expecting!
could not agree more
Same. Made me cry. I'm in a similar situation...
Unbelievable
If I was the farmer:
Scarecrow- *wakes me up*
ME-"AAAAAHHHHHHHH"
Scarecrow:"wait I just wanna talk"
Me:"you got some 'splainin to do"
Scarecrow:"will you be my friend"
Me:"....I got you fam"
Theme of the scarecrow was never released as an individual track. Made specifically for the short.
+David Jolley :/oh wel,..
Do someone know where I can download it? I need it very much.
please launch a track for the community
Easier said than done
Wish I knew the song's name or who it's by.
I've never related more to a short film than I have this one =O
Saddest. Story. Ever.
I would be his friend
I would be his friend

You can't have a relationship based on mercy with someone.
Me too. I still need a honest friend..
As I
honestly this was the most sadess cartoon I have ever seen I luv how the emotion and sadness come together in the music and drawings I give it a thumbs up
Such a lovely film, so poignant. A favourite film of mine which I recently rediscovered; I have added it to my library so I won’t lose track of it again. The animation, narration and soundtrack are all beautiful.
So very tragic,yet at the a tiny flicker of light. This is truly romantic. Truly what the soul of being Gothic was. I
The combination of this soundtrack and the sad story is just amazing!
I remember this story from my childhood. I always felt sad for the scarecrow, but thanks so much for showing us this story! ^^
Rafael - Sometimes, sad things help us better enjoy the happy things more. :)
I got the Blues.
David Jolley wow beautifully put my friend, u have a deep mind
I love this story. I use to watch this when I was 5 years old and for 7 years I was looking for this video because I remember when I was little.
I'm ngl this made me shed tears. The way he tells the story...Beautiful
saddest story ever
my heart cried watching this
I cried a lot. Still makes me very sad..😢

My head cannon decided that some of the scarecrow’s seeds fell with the ashes and up sprang a new scarecrow
Scarecrow: “Why don’t the Crows want to be my friends?”
Crow: “it’s literally in your name, come on.”
I love this! Even though it's so sad, but at least it shows a lesson where you should never judge a person. Also my 5th and 6th grade class are doing a project on this to write a story about teaching a lesson like not to judge people.

Raven Black I can draw and I was thinking of making something similar

Amazing! Amazing story, amazing talent, amazing ending.
The irony is that he was a true master of his craft.
beautiful and scary but sad
*This is mankind as always - forever afraid of what he doesn't understand.*
*Hi David. I think you should upload the soundtrack to any online store.*
*People will want it.*
*I know I do.*
such a sweet and whimsical story, love the animation
They used to show this in my 1st (?) grade classroom back when I was living in TJ and it was part of an english class, it freaked me the fuck out and used to cry everytime the teacher showed it, luckily since my dad was english speaking and I was a lot more advanced than the other kids the teacher let me step out
Definiteley a story I'll tell my kid in the future. Good work!
The 90’s was the last time society was for the most part good.
Old MTV cartoon reminds me of this
Hauntingly Beautiful
So it's a different version of the story of Frankenstein. I like it
This is very sad
Burning windmill...? Sounds like- **sniffle!**... sounds like El Manana..
Heisann! Thank you so much for this beautiful animation and sad story, really touching!
Thank you so much for this gem !
Somehow the music makes me feel sleepy.

Stunning piece. Beautiful.
Beautifully done.
Wow man. This was an awesome story. Thanks!
so tragic and yet so beautifull,congratulations for the video the story telling and the music it was fascinating
A sad but beautiful story.
My interpretation of the moral... Others will always fear/shun/ignore or even hurt someone or something that they don't truly understand. I saw this way back when I was in middle school and even then at that age, this tale struck a cord with me...
very nice story!
This hits on the heart strings 😭
The history truly made me cry.
This is absolutely beautiful and sad. I love it, and I love the theory of the black crows.
Wow that is an interesting tale, I love it ;)
I mean, I don’t exactly necessarily blame the farmer for being absolutely terrified of his previously inanimate scarecrow coming to fucking life.
This is one of my most favorite stories
Amazing story. Keep up the good work, bud.
Wow what a wonderful story.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺
I will legit tell this to my nephew next time I see him
Sad story but brilliant soundtrack and graphics!
Excellent!!!
Such an amazing story its Lind of like Frankenstein but with birds and scarecrows. Although the story's meaning was quite interesting....that is why the crows are black.
Mary Dominguez shut the fuck up ya racist :P
Julian Rodriguez , because blacks are scary. Even the black colour is darkness.
it's so sad for the scarecrow so sad it melts my heart for him but it's a lovely story 😔
I thought this was gonna be a horror stop-motion. Damn.
What a beautiful yet tragic story. Poor scarecrow
Beautifully legend thx

The scarecrow had a heart of gold.
I agree
This would be a great lovely movie. I love the Theme song off the crow so sad and beautiful
Beautiful and moving 🎃
It's... Beautiful.
Still watching this once in a while

Good story and animation...
The scarecrow story really touched me

Einstein Theory the reason of the crow's color
I cried watching this.
I hope I find a plushie that looks like that scarecrow!!! It's so cute.
Aw man. This is such a tragic tale.
I don’t know what I should be feeling but I think I nearly broke the like button
Yes Araba. That would be awesome.
Great animation, good job 👍👍
This is a very sad story. I love this story.
This reminds me of the song hymn for a scarecrow by TallyHall ❤
This video has a lot of respect.😊
SAD, SAD, SAD - MUSIC HEARTBREAKING
