I find it fascinating that Padpaw doesn’t seem too happy with this resolution. You’d think that seeing her murderer be given justice is what she would want, but she looks anything but happy. Perhaps her time in the afterlife has allowed her to reflect, and to see that things aren’t as black and white as she thought they were.

[@pantherbeastly3934]

Yeah that, and maybe she realizes that she was the one to push Birdheart too far. I can imagine Padpaw regrets her poor treatment towards the disabled she cat, and that there could have been a way to prevent her fate. Not to say Birdheart shouldn't be punished, though! But even then, I hope Birdheart is accepted into Starclan at some point.

[@anirieiger5755]

@@pantherbeastly3934 They won't accept... As Gray Wing said, that only good deeds in life will let her go to Star Tribe... So she will never get there, no matter how much she repents 😞😞😞😔😔😔 P. S. Star Tribe infuriates me!!! How many normal cats they expelled, and how many freaks they accepted!? if I don’t see the battle of Living cats against Star cats, then the franchise is dead for me!!! 😡😡😡

[@bugbites666]

God the idea of StarClan cats personally banishing cats to the Dark Forest is so haunting

[@hyphurr.rarelypostsifever1220]

If I’m not mistaken it’s at least somewhat cannon? Like that‘s how ash fur got into star clan I think

[@dattoad]

well here we are I have no words to be honest but I will try- it was an incredibly elaborate and interesting story, with really memorable characters and situations in fact, the formula is simple - disabled cat thrown into society and I know that I will remember the story of the birdheart's for a long time, it was an honor to follow it from the very beginning moment where froggyheart pulled away and birdheart stopped, is as strong as the rest of the animatic. at the moment with the piano, no joke, I started to cry, it's so sad and epic as if my favorite series ended your channel evokes emotions and this is the main thing. I am so proud of you

[@AnEtchersketch]

I've greatly enjoyed all your work up until now, having come across Dear Friend Across the River first. The atmosphere, detail and emotion behind each and every entry of Birdheart's story is amazing, captivating and so very sad. And, I hope I'm not misreading her expressions, but I was especially taken by how Padpaw reacts to Birdheart's fate. She shows confusion and uncertainty followed by what seems to be to be a call/plea to Birdheart. I absolutely adore this detail; Padpaw was still cruel in verbally abusing a clanmate, especially one who was isolated and struggling. But now it really confirms that it was out of childish immaturity and lack of empathy, not because she was a fundamentally malicious kid. And if Padpaw gained empathy and maturity through her death; enough to feel some kind of discontent for Birdheart, the cat she hurt, and was fatally hurt by, being sent away. That's just extra sad and tragic... So yeah, great story! Looking forward to art you make in the future :D

[@maroonarrow]

YES, exactly! I am very glad that you liked the story, your words mean so much to me ❤

[@AnEtchersketch]

[@veronica3662]

This is so beautiful, and I love the story so much, I also like how Padpaw doesn't look happy about Birdheart going to the Dark Forest, and the way Froggyheart starts to cry, also StarClan looks so haunting, I'm s c a r e d

[@avaturchan2771]

wow- the amount of thought in Birdheart's entire story is amazing. I notice she's called Halcyon on her Toyhouse, and the double meaning of a past period of happiness and a kingfisher is just astoundingly well thought out and beautiful!! What a fantastic and gorgeous story throughout all of these videos

[@I.love.reptiles]

Your animations are so beautiful

[@IdentifiantE.S]

It is beautiful and has its own graphic style wonderful !

[@BLueWin9_XD_and_sarahwarman324]

Is the cat on the piano a reference from over the garden wall? Because if it is that would be so cool! I've always loved the way you animate with a painted gray style! Your animations never fail to amaze me

[@maroonarrow]

Yes! "Over the garden wall" is such an amazing show, I initially even planned to put "One Is a Bird" from it in the ending :D Thank you so much!

[@Crystalmoon5383]

I don't even know how to express my feelings on this in words. You absolutely blow me away every time with your art and storytelling through it. Following Birdhearts story through your projects have been such a delight, and what a beautiful way to wrap it all up. I can't wait to see what more you make

[@ender000]

This is a simply incredible work of art, in all respects. The way everything comes together from the wonderful story, beautiful visuals, and perfect music results in a stunning, heart-wrenching, and simply breathtaking piece. Your work is incredibly beautiful and I truly have no words to express the emotions this evoked within me. I hope you continue to create and share your creations with the world. You have amazing stories and an uncanny ability to bring them to life in the most beautiful of ways. I will be following your work and hope to see more of Birdheart, Froggyheart, and any other characters to come in the future. Simply wonderful work, Maroonarrow.

[@user-lt8lm1vv9v]

Ooh the way Froggy breaks down crying ;(( I really love how Jenny is the final song for this part of the story - I'm pretty sure you used it in credits for a few other animatics, as well! One might say it haunts this story)) Padpaw looking so thorn and screaming for Birdheart when she is pushed!!! I want to kiss her little head. It seems like there were Padpaw (and probably Bird's?) relatives in the crowd, and it makes it all even more tragic! Also, the way both Rainsting and Froggyheart seem to distance themselves from Bird and the trial - either because they are too conflicted to take any sides or because there is nothing to be done anymore. Hope Halcyon will reunite with those who had loved her the most!!

[@OfTheDoubt]

All of your work is high-quality, amazingly beautiful, and gives me the wildest sense of emotional connection. I can barely convey into words how much I love it :>

[@mr_moonzeal]

This is so beautiful. I'm so glad you shared Birdheart's story, I loved following it throughout every video.

[@morningglory.2]

All of your videos are just, hauntingly beautiful. Omg. Also I kinda of love Padpaw’s appearance here. Her expressions weren’t what I expected!

[@larkspear]

this is such a gorgeous and emotional ending... i adore this so much

[@brightsoul7546]

I know you're being jokey in your description, but man does that match the vibes!

[@warcatfurever101writeroffanfic]

Is anyone else having a problem with descriptions. Like I genuinely can’t view any description on mobile anymore.

[@TheBourneFreedom]

I absolutely LOVE your videos! Your storytelling is simply incredible! Can I ask, is there a tale still to be told with the cat with the beartrap around its face? I noticed them in some of your earlier videos but wasn't sure if they still had a part to play in Frog and Bird's story. ❤

[@GDRUSHHOUR]

Dude this animation is absolutely stunning!

[@cometolily]

You're animations never fail to impress me!

[@Kumonekowo]

Your animations are such a big inspiration to me. I love the song choices. Gives me shivers, this is similar to the kind of vibes I would like some my own storytelling animatics to give off. Keep it up!

[@patchynmatchin5055]

I wonder what will happen now that the story is over.

[@MirageMia]

This is seriously stunning, just wow ;_;

[@LoisNeggers]

I knew i recognized the song. This, all of it is too gorgeous.

I would just like to confirm- at 1:28 Birdheart is in the Dark Forest, right?

[@Night_Stary]

Omg, is she going to dark forest~

[@lesliewolfe7643]

I am curious if her story will go beyond this? Or was the plan to leave her as a wanderer of the Dark Forest 👁?

[@maroonarrow]

Yup, it will! But there are other stories and characters I need to tell about before I return to Birdheart, so for now this is the end :)

[@PlagueDoctor-rv9pd]

Just so o got this right, she was mistreated by her clan and vomited suicide, and her abusers regretted causing it afterward?

[@felicia4020]

I dont think she wanted to kill herself, in the video "JULY" you can see a kingfish at the end, who killed her and I think the kingfish represent a real cat, we just dont know who it is yet. And yes Padpaw in 1:11 doesnt seem happy about Birdheart's exile, I guess Padpaw realised how bad she treated Birdheart and is now sorry for it. The other cats however like Birdhearts best friend and her mentor just cant forgive Birdheart for what she has done.

[@PlagueDoctor-rv9pd]

@@felicia4020 I looked up her on toy house and yeah I think you are right. Story makes more sense to me now
