Bad Egg - Award winning Animation

by www.anirights.com

[@Eltrio2]

Last time I saw this I couldn't finish it. I thought the bird was going to devour the mom from the inside out. Much different ending than I thought. Just goes to show, you gotta see it through to the end.

[@samcastellon4626]

i absolutly adore this animation, realisticly it happens with birds and putting this into a animation telling how to share and not to be greedy lesson :) love it

[@Temoriken]

Me too

[@imagine778]

I actually feel really bad for the mother. going all that way in crappy weather for food must be exhausting and then coming back to your nest half empty is the worst.

[@Snapshot3]

what the fuck kind of short film has to explain the moral at the end.

[@nil4309]

American ones

[@squirrel_of_mistri8565]

I assumed this was created for grade-schoolers.

[@menaangelfire9393]

A fable does and that is written word. But for the more visual learners this makes perfect sense. But did you understand the moral is the better question. I know I did. So did you?

[@LukeAxon]

Well done getting an important message across, I liked the animation and idea. I found it interesting that the female had evolved differently and could no longer fly.

[@p.a.russell4210]

Why do I suddenly want to eat a McNugget?

[@c0v3rtw4ffle]

I love it when a story spells out its moral for you. He said, pretty sarcastically.

[@cirrocumulus1948]

I actually cried when the mother died.

[@Starblood]

It might be more interesting if you know..the quality was even slightly watchable

[@sarakawal7927]

Your profile very dangres

[@Starblood]

What the hell are you talking about?

[@SonicRainbpw]

kinda like your videos

[@chulalaly]

I watched the whole video and the sound didn't bother me. The animation itself had no glitches I could spot, I recognized that it was just the style used and not a matter of deteriorating quality.

[@lilythedoggolover4696]

that bird looked stoned as hell

You mean 01:40

[@thraxironhide]

Cool video. I'm not trying to be mean, but this is the first time I've ever seen a 144p video.

[@shirodaddy3046]

How was that mean

[@thraxironhide]

Cheryllen Bearfield I'm just saying it in case someone takes it offensively. I've never seen a quality go that low before. But, to make it better, I like pie.

[@shirodaddy3046]

+Y23Y still nice

[@hairybuttsniff]

@underground leaks 101 is that true 🤔

[@yttrv8430]

@@thraxironhide born 2010?

[@middleagedpikachu]

wonder where it won an award and for what exactly.

[@ThomasRuleZzZzZ]

I think the moral is, no matter how well you behave and how effective you are, bad luck can get you anyway.

[@siberianhuskybudthegreywol9202]

there is an actual species of bird that lays it's eggs in another species nest and the when it hatches, the chick pushed all the other eggs and chicks out the nest

[@ExquisiteBombshell]

Siberianhuskybud The Grey Wolf well we should killed the bird who lay eggs in other birds nest and killed the baby bird from a another bird!

[@thestutteringspartan5155]

Holy shit I was surprised by how dark this was

[@gabrielalbert3792]

TheSh1ttiestSpartan yup

[@jayflu6123]

thus was so sad

[@autumnmoon8532]

is it bad I was cracking up... it was such a gory story to explain such a straight to the point and innocent quote...

[@garyclouse7234]

Just imagine all the psychopaths who watched this video and thougt "gee.. what is the point? everybody is like that.. right?"

[@XX-sp3tt]

1:21 It wasn't just greed... it was succumbing to FEAR.

[@MaxieDog1000]

That was such a sad but yet excellent animation.Amazing!Good job

[@migol1984]

why did they have to end the short with that little message at the end? why do some filmmakers find it sooooo expedient to spoon feed the viewers? if you do that all it tells me is you don't have enough faith in your own story.

[@drol3450]

You must be a greedy person then.

[@CryoCK]

Drol #%\* that literally makes no sense

[@nushkabymusic]

that was really well done =)

[@MissK18A]

I was watching cute animations... then I got this one... First I was "Oh look a cute chubby little birdie... well... yes he's too hungry... ... ... WHAATTTT!? (⊙_☉) He just push the egg... and... and... ***cries forever***

[@NERDSLAYERPRIME]

Sentience is the ability to hear, see, feel.

[@Staindwolf94]

Great storyline and animation. I do believe that you have to be a little dark to fully admire it.

[@AniliaVanNorbert]

Beautiful video and nice music! ♥ :))

[@shadowdroid776]

that was awesome!

[@wilkawaii]

we are born, the end comes for all of us, what makes a person great isn't birth or death, it's what he/she makes of the time between.

[@Razshagaul]

And the fact that it was probably the falling egg and bird that alerted the hunters to look up, and his constant chirping when the mother came back with food gave her away and she was shot. Not just greedy, but down-right stupid... Brilliant animation, though! Love the dark style :)

[@cirusMEDIA]

LMAO at that little evil bird!!! -->awesome work!!!

[@rhyannone]

Brilliant , well done.

[@TheDeathToday]

Can you upload a worst quality version of this? It didn't hurt my eyes enough.

[@Layk35]

What award did this win again?

[@RhinoStompin]

I argree full heartdly with the final statements made in this clip... Yet somtimes (wether you are a grabber or not) your environment will do what it does no matter how good or evil you are.

[@JohnLuckPickard141]

That's actually a clever analogy!

[@Zacharyg5]

Lovely soundtrack.

[@gossamer999]

I got chills.

[@doodelay]

wow. this was legit scary! SO AWESOME!

[@eduardo14059]

what an awesome cartoon

[@PoseidonsRage21]

There are some bird species that actually do this as well. They will plant their own egg into a nest and hold the other babies hostage, and force the actual parent of them to take care of their offspring instead. It's pretty disturbing.

[@blankisartful]

@SimplyElisse Yea. The egg falling on the rock surprised me. It makes you realize the deep resentment the angry bird had in the past.

[@grimmjow435]

o my god i loved that one so much

[@solimaniv]

very nice video thx 4 ur upload

[@face_nemesis]

Lol, loved it. Great message too.

[@Motorskallen]

Pretty damn effective way to tell the message. By scaring the crap out of me.

[@melv.278]

The quality gave this some extra aesthetic

[@andrew6253]

something never changes, Humanity

[@pokinsmot]

Moral of the story: don't murder your siblings, cuz you just might need to eat them.

[@ValnarianKnight]

He also lost his mother (his source of food) by demanding more than he needed, and in the end he became hawk food because his mother wasn't there to protect him.

[@omegax45]

This kinda reminds me of certain cuckoo birds that lay their eggs in other birds' nest and the cuckoo chick gets rid of the other eggs or chicks to have the parents all to themselves. Really sad that the little bad chick didn't fully understand that he needed to share with everyone and he wouldn't have been left out.

[@hunterkillerxyz]

thank you so much.

[@llabtoof91]

wow! that was a realy sad storry! but realy good made!this video deserve much much more then a 354 views!

[@CountWondermann]

Because it was clearly just hatched, and it takes birds weeks before they learn how to fly.

[@pamsoogi]

very moving, like the flute and dream sound effects.

[@212inspire]

That last sentence "cracked" me up.

[@Seanic]

lmfao wow all these people misunderstanding the story. I think you are spot on and didn't realize it till I read your post so thanks =). After watching the vid I just read the quote and was confused as hell! Although I think what was confusing was that there was only really 2 worms yet if there was no murder it would be 3 birds? including the one that had to hatch.

[@trevorsanchez6675]

It's angry birds!

[@Amylovessadie]

Im gonna show this to my kids. ill have the most unmessed up beautiful children ever

[@dannyosrs3516]

It's about greed and karma. If you take too much and be greedy, karma will get you.

[@Muaddib-qb3xp]

This Actually made me cry..

[@UserDude]

Amazing.

[@Kijiriko]

Sadness is art.

[@g43654]

Chicks killing one another is common among bigger birds. It's just natural selection. They could have used a human analogy instead.

[@battybuddy]

And the mom might have been a lot more careful going back without suddenly being shocked to see two of her babies missing. Having one super important thing on your mind (like making sure your not seen by a hunter) and suddenly being distracted by another thought (like "where did my babies go?") is kind of dangerous.

[@DarkCaveDunsparce]

Without his siblings, he'll die completely alone.

[@Ortegaswat4]

A very harsh way to make us understand

[@fenris421]

It's a neat piece to be sure, and the ending wasn't bad at all. The thing is, is that you can't even feel sorry for the bird. He killed his siblings and by extent the mother as well.

[@nathanjackson9112]

This is what some birds do in real life - the idea is there's more food for the victor.

[@deathghost65]

I love birds so much and I just watched this

[@poexz]

Not only that but it kept calling out to her preventing her from focusing on the gun shots.

[@jnobls9]

the more you grab, the more you lose.........great message.

[@honterolei8898]

Imagine that the other one didn't expect it.

[@plotbuster]

this doesn't take away from the great animation, but as moral tales go, it comes across as more of a shock and awe campaign. share or the puppy (or in this case, bird) gets it.

[@dudenyeh]

The mother wouldn't have left in the first place if the "bad egg" hadn't demanded more food.

[@Avengercatgirl99]

my jaw literally dropped when he killed his brother and sister/brother

[@Neneko101]

If I had a dime for every pixel in this video, I would have a 5 cents.

[@euriqqa]

wow.... it really gets to me..

[@connorcampbell2400]

If I had a dollar for every pixel in this video, I'd have one cent.

[@SomebodyPerfectly]

nice quality u've got there

[@HaakysConnection]

Fantastic

[@emmac127]

this takes angrybirds to a whole new level

[@Elias___]

amazing :)

[@elgatochurro]

because it was greedy, it wanted more food for itself

[@Horsebalz]

good animation

[@cheesebearchan]

It would have made a difference, because they would both be satisfied and the mother wouldn't have to go off at that time. There was the message of greed as well.

[@joelsanttos4475]

perfect!!!

[@colorfulcredit5373]

But of you'd like a video concerning morals I'd suggest the animated short "Reversal of the Heart" by Carolyn Chrisman. For someone who likes to question things I'm sure you'll enjoy it. There is a lot of hidden meaning in that story and even though the villain seems obvious... The justification behind everyone motives is fun to question.

[@Staindwolf94]

The chick sent the parent bird out to get it more food, and sent it into a state of panic by killing the other two.

[@MsAnnoyingComment]

I think it's that if he hadn't been so greedy, forcing his mother to go out for more food, then she would have stuck around, plus the support of the other two birds, and they just might have fought off the predator birds at the end together. In the end, though, he faced death alone.

[@turtlecb1]

Had he not hogged the worm in the first place, the mother bird wouldn't have had to leave.

[@sdmitch16]

As far as I can tell, attacking his siblings had nothing to do with the appearance of the other birds or the death of his parent.

[@ghoustfox]

still their is greed in everyone, weather you like it or not

[@PInnHeAd]

It is not that it was about him pushing them out, it was that he was greedy for more food.

[@kristovx7]

The way i see it, his mother only left the nest because he was begging for food. (He was just fed, he was being greedy) If she was there when the first shot rang out she could have gotten him (if not all her kids) to safety along with all the other birds before the predatory birds showed up. They probably only came to scavenge off the nests after the hunter scared away all the birds who could fly. (they show no fear of the hunter who JUST blew a bird out of the sky right before they turned up)

[@djzepecki]

Also, if the mother hadn't stopped to search for the other siblings, she would have saved a couple of seconds getting back to the nest.

[@BroWithTheFro]

You have not been on the internet for that long if you find this disturbing..

[@Strawberrytarty]

This argument is hilarious!

[@cxsggkugjh5138]

Awesome

[@MetaLatias5]

I love it :) although it might seem to some people as just terribly mean in every way, it's kind of a realistic situation and teaches the moral of sharing and not being too greedy perfectly :)
