Amerikaner83 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 OK so everyone knows about the "kiwi", right? It's the New Zealand bird that can't actually fly. I was on youtube yesterday and Squeaker found this animated video...it's one of those "happy/sad" vids... So I'll admit it - I actually had the *beginnings* of a tear when I watched it...

Amerikaner83 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 he's trying to fly...finally fly. Kiwis are flightless birds, so he does all this stuff so he can actually fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminded me of a featherless chicken. Then pulls a hammer out of his butt since he couldn't carry it anywhere else. How much weirder can you get?

Amerikaner83 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 OK don't apply logic to it, hon.You also can't nail a tree sideways to a cliff in real life either.....it's just animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocDon Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 There was a whole bin of them next to the pears at the grocery store. The heads and feet had been pulled off so they looked like little fuzzy eggs.I'll have to try some next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceowens Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 OK don't apply logic to it, hon.You also can't nail a tree sideways to a cliff in real life either.....it's just animation. Oh! I get it now! So he nails all those trees to the side of the cliff and jumps off....giving himself the illusion that he's flying over the treetops.

rmuse00 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Maybe I'm too analytical. The way I interpreted was that the Kiwi allowed himself to die for the sake of giving himself ONE chance to really feel like he was flying! When I saw the tear that's when I understood what the video was all about. Am I just too mushy here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amerikaner83 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 no...you both are 100% right. I misssed the tear the first time I watched it...then I watched it again and then I saw it, and then I understood. He finally wants to be able to fly...to feel like all the other birds must be able to feel....to have wings.....indeed "wings" do pop out when he's halfway down.
