This is the first thread I've ever started hehe.

[[First off, I apologize if this has been posted before....I'm not looking to piss anyone off by posting the same thing twice ]]

Anyways, I just watched this amazing 3 minute animation here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=sdUUx5FdySs

At first when you watch it, you're like 'Ummmm, what?' but get this: Kiwi spends his whole life nailing tress to an upward cliff so that he can climb to the top, jump off, and pretend he can fly....he was born without developed wings so he couldn't fly.........it's actually pretty sad since he dies at the end..........it seems to represent living one's whole life in pursuit of a goal, one which Kiwi desired so much he was willing to die for it.

Can you believe that a 3 min animation can be so philosophical and evoke so many feelings? I think this animation is just wonderful.

Enjoy

Very touchingg....

thank you for that. really.

there is a point where you watch it and you dont really know what you are watching.

then i knew when i got goosebumps.

That was brilliant. thank you.

nick....i gotta ask.....how the hell did you stumble across this??? lol

MAN!

i just came across this a few days ago! i thought it was soo amzingly cute.. and very sad!! poor little guy! the little single tear was what got me!
I hope the guy that made this did very well on his thesis ( which was what the animation was made for) because i thought it was so well done!

Completely agree with you, well put Cenik.

I was thinking of the kiwi Fruit at first, lol! ..Brilliant presentation...

Kiwi's dream was to fly ....

I wish my masters thesis for engineering could be expressed through a video..

I'm still thinking over and over again about this video......I showed my brother and he though it was amazing too.....the part where Kiwi sheds a tear, it's just so moving......

Wow, just wow.......
