Animals of Farthing Wood- Badger's Death

[lineyrocks]

BADGER CAN'T DIE :( :( :( I hate this so much :(

[oddsee]

that was completely heartbreaking i could actually cry i remember this from when i was a kid X(

[jimineedles]

ahhhh no this makes me cry, badger was a legend

[Treemeadow]

I just bought a book today called "Badger's Parting Gifts" about an old badger who dies, and his woodland friends have to learn to cope with the grief by remembering the good times.

Thing is, while I was reading it, the music from this scene began to play in my head, and it made it all the more emotional.

[GrannyGroovinGravity]

58 people wish they were still young so they could relive these heartwarming stories. I wish they hadn't cancelled making the movie sequel :(

[paull84028]

badger dont care

[RenamonIntergirl87]

Goodbye Badger I Miss You :(

[401ashen]

1 why did fox turn on the weiseils 2 this was beutifull lovely animation and the dementia was handled really well

[beastchicky]

@401ashen because he thinks Weasel is a spy for Scarface, I think. Her and Measley were always my favourites <3

[Redwallforever]

You still lives in our hearts, Badger!:(

[arrelite]

this was really hard to watch... don't have much happy memories from this cartoon I prefered whinney the pooh

[RedAvery1]

Depressing ass shit. Im glad this not how all cartoons are

[brb1006]

Why don't they have scenes like this on todays kids shows anymore

[791812sdc]

This was so hard to watch as kid. Still conjures up some tears.

[petrovaxo]

I used to fancy fox as a kid.

[Jefrma]

imagine an old human nearly passing away..talking about his/her past..and you shall definitely weep :´(

[realitymainperson]

more than 15 years since I last saw it.

[thomo151]

this brings back so many memories and a few tears,

[emperordeebo]

this cartoon was ruthless

[M3t4lManiac]

Lol, Badger a Christian? I am confuse as to how animals have organised religion.

[mspubquiz83]

im glad he's dead . badgers are smelly horrible things with huge claws.

[openmindedatheist]

@mspubquiz83 Not this Badger laddie, ill thank ye to keep your negative comments to yerself.

[gongo3090]

Fuck you Owl! Just shut up and die you heartless bitch!

[kamilfreeman]

This shit is fucking depressing

[jaxon12kh]

Slaughtered their characters?! Have you seen Happy Tree Friends? Brudal.

[kerstmanneke82]

@jaxon12kh Well, in the beginning of AOFW I didn't expect any of them to die. That's something different than HTF, you expect those to die.

[comicshaun07]

Manly tears dropped today....Manly. Fucking. Tears.

[rmackenzie0112]

Owl is such a bitch. EVERY SINGLE TIME someone dies she goes off on some big rant about shit and needs to shut the fuck up. Why is she even out during the day??!

[gingamaster134]

@rmackenzie0112 probably drinking too much energy drinks to keep her awake

[gingamaster134]

@rmackenzie0112 i agree!shes so annoying!i agree with weasel right here

[glowingdemon]

jeez and this is just one of many deaths best cartoon ever.

now where's my Prozac?

[NGRevenant]

;__________;

[CarpetStainRemover]

OMG My mum told me that when I watched this, I was shouting.

'DON'T BE SILLY BADGER!! WAKE UP!'

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLZ This is hard core

[Mousegirl1122]

this part always meakes me cry!

poor old Badger....

[dylander08]

When did this come out.

[Hansfan1989]

This was very sad during the '90s when I watched it as a kid... and it's even sadder now :'(. Thanks for the upload.

[fruitburstroxy]

god damn badger was an incredible character.

oh my god look at how moley is acting.

;_____;

oh god omg.

[gingamaster134]

@fruitburstroxy thats moles son mossy.mole died way before this

[Purplesubmariner]

"mercilessly slaughtered many of its characters", though this may be true, I actually liked the killings. it brought a sense of realism to the series that no one lives forever, and no one is invincible. Compared to kids shows nowadays, Farthing Wood is a classic

[Conflict1107]

I remember watching this cartoon on italian television,i remember a quite bloody scene of some mice getting impaled on some rose thorns or something and it really left a trauma on me when i was a kid,if you know that episode please gimme the link i need to see it again

[chopchop8916]

@Conflict1107 I dont have a link but on youtube its episode 7

[HarryElwell123]

nice little reference to the bible there... pushing the stone over his door-hole-thing ;)

[Purplesubmariner]

Ah it was so sad.....I wanted to cry....darnit all if I love a good sad death of a beloved character....

[Bparsonsable]

deadly! glad he died

[Bparsonsable]

Most depressing scene in history damn that badger was gay

[comicshaun07]

They don't make em like this anymore...*sniff*

[kotakole]

How sad. Badger dies? I only got the first movie. I wish Badger would still live!

[Purplesubmariner]

I HAVE THAT MOVIE TOO! "Journey Home", right? I stumbled upon the episodes here on Youtube and shockingly, that "movie" was cut scenes from the first season! I never knew there was a whole series that had aired, though its a darn good series at that

[TheOneTheyCallVi]

aw it made me cry....these kinds of movies are the best

[thechosen2010]

They don't make 'em like this anymore.

[Pruefan26]

i love this show as a teenager i watched every episode

[arniesays]

Thid and the death of Bold is the saddest thing i had ever seen when i was a child. I was completely traumatised by this and wished there was something i could do to bring them back to life.

Its no suprise they took this off the air. Such a great show, but so traumatic. I cried for days.

[StrawberryGun500]

for some kids it may be extreme, but.

its natural things die.

[Pruefan26]

hi well it was originally a series of books amied at adults then they made it in to a cartton which is why so scenes where traumatic for children. the show was aimed at adults and children but as children watch it - it should have been made more mild for children. Badger never died in the books

[Purplesubmariner]

though it may have been "aimed" at adults, it was still dummied down enough for kids. there isn't any "adult" content in these old cartoons, and really, it shows more of what life is about then the dummied down-unrealistic and pro-education horrid quality of children's TV thats on air today...

[Pruefan26]

@Purplesubmariner ok yes i agree

[mynameisdumbnuts]

That mole is huge.

The one thing I don't like about the show is that it deviated so from the books. Badger lives through the end of the series. Kind of sucks they kill him off in the show and replace him with Hercule.

[amanogirl1]

@mynameisdumbnuts Ron Moody who did the voice of Badger wanted to quit Animals of Farthing Wood so they killed badger off. And replaced him with Hercule.

[BadgerWhisper]

@amanogirl1 Really? No one's said anything to me about Ron wanting to quit. You do know do you that he did Bully as well, do you? It was his birthday recently, did you know that? He was 87 on the 8th of this month. Yep, I found this part sad too. I didn't cry at it, but this'll be 1 thing on the show that'll never be forgotten.

[amanogirl1]

@BadgerWhisper I didn't know that he did the voice of Bully the rat. I don't now if he wanted toquit or not but I'm sure the ones who did Animals of Farthing Wood wanted him back to do Bully.

Thanks for letting me know.

[00roastedlampost00]

I was so disturbed by this scene when I was little - it was that point when I realized that this was what would eventually happen to every single person I loved. Very very sad scene.

[PassiveSmoking]

In a series that pulled no punches whatsoever with death this was still one of the most heartbreaking ones.

[stewartdrummond]

Thank you ever so much for posting this, I watched this when i was a kid and i cried so much when badger died, it means a lot to me to see it. thank you

[vvelvettearss]

o my gosh this is HEART BREAKING!!! especially for a childrens show they drew this out to be the most tender emotionally touching and devestating death of badger possible, i wasn't cry but I...

I have to now watch all 3 series!

[DemonSheepStudio]

I missed alot of series 2 when it first aired years ago, so I had no idea how badger died. I think this is the saddest death out of all the main characters that died.

[mentalmickr9]

Clare Murtagh here from windsor hill newry so sad watchin this film moley reminds me of me and my dog jack,love you badger xxxxxxx your fan forever clare tigerlily 86

[mentalmickr9]

Clare murtagh here i love moley so much reminds me of my jack am so emotional xxxxx

[JulieWinchester]

I always cry when I watch it...

[Rainbow610]

Still the saddest death in the series :'( Thanks for uploading ^^

[Imocan115]

watch a great show, the memories

[Uknowntoall]

The quality of this video is excellent...it looks like it has been digitally restored...shame this is not in DVD format

[2001JamesTV]

It's not been restoredor anything, this was captured straight from the tape I recorded it on 15 years ago. I am suprised at the quality of it though myself, seeing as it's an old tape that's been at the back of a cupboard for years.

[MegaX3000]

r.i.p badger

r.i.p Mole

[Imadjinn]

Now this was TV. Not today's rubbish.

[ghfdfhfdndxhcg]

@Imadjinn This was also during the golden age when the credits were actually shown at the end instead of being minimized and played during the end of the episode in order to make as little time as possible between shows.

[RetroToledo]

@ghfdfhfdndxhcg It's sad what TV has become lately.

[ghfdfhfdndxhcg]

@RetroToledo I barely watch any TV nowadays.

[RetroToledo]

@ghfdfhfdndxhcg I do too. I found I'm a better person for that reason!

[ghfdfhfdndxhcg]

@RetroToledo I know what just what you mean; the media has can have an influence upon the viewer. That's why I've made a vow to never watch any more of that new rubbish that they churn up on Disney, Cartoon Network, and Nick.

[RetroToledo]

@ghfdfhfdndxhcg How I feel too. Cable TV isn't what it use to seem like when I was 4 years old (30 years ago). Back then it was something (an alternative to what could be seen on regular broadcast TV).

Reminded myself how bad they treated this show in the US however (one lousy VHS release compiling the first season into a movie with added songs [who asked for that?] and Ralph Macchio dubbing over Fox's voice).

[ghfdfhfdndxhcg]

@RetroToledo I never even knew there was a U.S. version. And the original Karate Kid voicing fox in it?! I have just one word for that: "Blah", just plain "Blah".

[RetroToledo]

@ghfdfhfdndxhcg I wanted to upload it here, but afraid of what kind of comment flaming will occur over it!
