    Yes, but at the expense of going splat in the end.

    To live your dream, just for once, even though you know it will kill you.

    A Kiwi leaps off
    to have his last soaring dream:
    life is for living.

    Maybe he's packing a parachute - he's already got a hammer and nails stowed in his tail there.

    Felix the cat - eat your heart out.

    Cool animation :thumb:

    I like to think he has a big mattress to break his fall at the bottom. :)

    Butterflies are caught
    by the contemplative hand
    while swift moves crush wings.

    its not sad all the way, in fact its only sad when u realise that the little guy has gone splat. Up until that point it was moving, and fun.

    Well, I didn't think it was sad. Putting a mattress at the end would ruin the whole point of the little thing - the point is not that people should be able to follow their dreams and always come out alright at the end. That would have no value because it would be false. The point the animator made(which I took to be that it's ok to die after living, and the only thing that little birdy wanted to do in life was fly) was much more touching.

    That was brilliant. A little sad, maybe, but the little blighter lived the dream.
