anyways thats the link to the Kiwi video on youtube. i swear, that is the greatest animated video i have ever seen (and it was done by only 1 guy!), but its so sad! its the story of how a kiwi (which can't fly since its a flightless bird) spends its whole life dreaming of flying, and spends its whole life working to accomplish that dream. one could argue its a wasted life, but its worth it for the Kiwi because it gets that one moment of perfect happyness.

How sad
I like the animations though

it's cool. You really feel how this guy feel.

But I don't really understand.

Why the heck did he want to put all the trees on the wall? and then commit suicide to see them all at once?

He wanted to feel how it feels when you're flying

Just like he were flying over the trees in high speed

"Kiwi!" is an animation about a Kiwi - a type of bird that cannot fly, who spends its whole life working towards achieving his dream. The kiwi strived to create the illusion that it was flying over a forest as it soared down through the sky from the top of a cliff. Thus, the kiwi spent what must have been its whole life nailing trees to the side of a cliff. All this, to fulfil its one dream of flying, even though it was technically unable to. There are several powerful messages behind Kiwi, but mainly, it makes you think: no matter how absurd and seemingly out of reach your dreams are, what's stopping you from achieving them? Kiwi's had a huge online success, with currently over 1.75 million views and 9000 comments on the online video site 'YouTube' in approximately just 3 days. The animation has been recently featured on YouTube and currently ranks in at the #1 favorited video in the arts and animation category of all time. As I'm sure you'll agree, "Kiwi!" is an inspiration to us all.

Nice animation, though I don't see what's so sad about it.

its sad because the guy did such a great job with it that you grow to love the kiwi. at the end of the video you feal bad that it dies, you feal bad that it cant fly, but you feal a sorrowful joy that its achieving its dream.
