The question is though; does the owl have a rope of its own?

@Nosfora2 That is not raven, it's a magpie... bird that is attracted by shiny objects.

@LCxCZ

stop being insensitive and post constructively. i just hope you'll take this into consideration, even though this is only a youtube comment stream.

that being said, thoroughly enjoyable animation and song. the simplistic style really works. also, the string/guitar sync-up at 0:17 is a great way to start a video.

The magpie represents lustful yearnings for freedom, and the owl represents what remains after one hits the hard reality of life, the owl failed in its own adolescent pursuit of coital bliss, and settled down. It now has a burning hatred of all who attempt in the endeavour it has failed. If he cant have it, no one can.

@WinterCritter Stop being a wuss and man up.

@WinterCritter even it drops down to the floor exhausted, the one thing on its mind will be that shiny thing. it seems like in a hopeless fight, trapped in a vicious circle that will go on and on forever. man, this is depressing :( yet also sounds like the metaphor of the most stubborn freedom fighter.

@WinterCritter the thing is, the magpie doesn't seem like it will ever accept that. after i read the comment saying it's a bird which is attracted by shiny things, the video made me think that it's act is not conscious. it simply doesn't know why it wants it, and doesn't know why it can't have it. and it gave me the feeling that it doesn't have the ability to give up, because the urge will never give him a rest.
