My teacher showed us this in class and... What... This freaking broke my heart. I want to hug the poor scarecrow.

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.

I was honestly hoping the crows would attack the villagers and peck out their eyes.

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.

I want to be the scare crows friend!

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.

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.

Awe, that was way sadder than i was expecting!

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. 🥺💙

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

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"

I've never related more to a short film than I have this one =O Saddest. Story. Ever.

saddest story ever

The combination of this soundtrack and the sad story is just amazing!

Theme of the scarecrow was never released as an individual track. Made specifically for the short.

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.

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.

I remember this story from my childhood. I always felt sad for the scarecrow, but thanks so much for showing us this story! ^^

my heart cried watching this

So very tragic,yet at the a tiny flicker of light. This is truly romantic. Truly what the soul of being Gothic was. I

I would be his friend

I'm ngl this made me shed tears. The way he tells the story...Beautiful

Rafael - Sometimes, sad things help us better enjoy the happy things more. :)

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.

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.”

beautiful and scary but sad

The irony is that he was a true master of his craft.

Amazing! Amazing story, amazing talent, amazing ending.

*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.*

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 like this back sound

I had goosebumps at the end , what a great story and wonderful animation .Thank You ......

such a sweet and whimsical story, love the animation

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.

Definiteley a story I'll tell my kid in the future. Good work!

Hauntingly Beautiful

This should have a hell of a lot more views. Amazing work!

This is very sad

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

Great! Lot of peopels without Woman/Partners or Childrens, are also feeling and living as this Scarecrow...

This is amazing I really enjoyed this 👍 great work

So it's a different version of the story of Frankenstein. I like it

Somehow the music makes me feel sleepy.

The 90’s was the last time society was for the most part good. Old MTV cartoon reminds me of this

I agree cool story, never heard anything even close.

so tragic and yet so beautifull,congratulations for the video the story telling and the music it was fascinating

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...

A sad but beautiful story.

Heisann! Thank you so much for this beautiful animation and sad story, really touching!

Beautifully done.

Thank you so much for this gem !

This is absolutely beautiful and sad. I love it, and I love the theory of the black crows.

I mean, I don’t exactly necessarily blame the farmer for being absolutely terrified of his previously inanimate scarecrow coming to fucking life.

This Videos extremely good and sad at the same it this year should be around for years and generations to come and a part of KZfaq history.

This is one of my most favorite stories

Wow that is an interesting tale, I love it ;)

Burning windmill...? Sounds like- **sniffle!**... sounds like El Manana..

Wow man. This was an awesome story. Thanks!

The history truly made me cry.

I will legit tell this to my nephew next time I see him

This hits on the heart strings 😭

very nice story!

Stunning piece. Beautiful.

Amazing story. Keep up the good work, bud.

Sad story but brilliant soundtrack and graphics!

What a beautiful yet tragic story. Poor scarecrow

Excellent!!!

Wow what a wonderful story.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺

The scarecrow story really touched me

Still watching this once in a while

So sad...

The scarecrow had a heart of gold.

I thought this was gonna be a horror stop-motion. Damn.

I still remember this

Aw man. This is such a tragic tale.

it's so sad for the scarecrow so sad it melts my heart for him but it's a lovely story 😔

This would be a great lovely movie. I love the Theme song off the crow so sad and beautiful

I cried watching this. I hope I find a plushie that looks like that scarecrow!!! It's so cute.

awesome message

Beautifully legend thx

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.

I don’t know what I should be feeling but I think I nearly broke the like button

how comes the whole windmill got burned and destroyed but scarecrow's scarf survived?

Beautiful and moving 🎃

I'm in *that* part of youtube again... and i like it!

Einstein Theory the reason of the crow's color

The music in this video is fantastic!! Do you have the title of the song, possibly a link to where I can get the music only?

The illustration of the villagers looked more frightening than the scarecrow himself.

I’ve never cried this way before

This is a very sad story. I love this story.

SAD, SAD, SAD - MUSIC HEARTBREAKING

Heart touching

Omg it is so sad I might have cried a little

This video has a lot of respect.😊

This reminds me of the song hymn for a scarecrow by TallyHall ❤

Plot Twist: The scarecrow was still alive, he escaped the fire.

This is very sad :-[. I am 10 and at the age of 7 I watched this. I wanted to see it again for an inspiring video or something. Too sad so I didnt
