This is honestly beautiful. I'm so used to one Side endings having labels showing a protagonist and antagonist. It demonstrates the causes and effects of actions that happen in life, and how much we don't pay attention to the "bad guy's" point of view. in the end it was just two mothers trying to fight to get food for the sake of their children.

This is a great example that there are two sides to every story. And there is no such thing as a good guy and the bad guy.

I had a feeling when I saw "thesis"
I was expecting something realistic like that to happen. for some reason, I was thinking the eagle's mate would show, but the chicks make much more sense.
all in all, awesome animation and wonderful job on your project!

I changed this comment so the replies won’t make sense.

Im looking at the chat and can see that no one gets the point of the video. the point is that theirs no bad guys,The eagle was just hunting for its baby,And the fox was just protecting its baby.

I really like how this addresses the brutality of nature! Our "good guys" won, but in nature, there aren't ant food or bad guys, just creatures trying to survive.

It's really well done, congratulations
