Oh I see
I have conflicting emotions. On one hand feel sorry for the little guy. On the other, I'm so used to seeing the kiwi being portrayed as symbol of strength. ie NZ Rugby League team (Kiwi's).

No! That's the thing, don't feel sorry for him! He's way stronger than I am that's for sure.
He wanted to feel and experience something so huge, so important that he gave everything for it. It's not a suicide kind of thing, that's not the point. He wasn't scared, he wasn't hesitant, and he wasn't in search of glory. He went out 100% happy, life complete.
Thinking about that big "what you would you *die* for" question I think is what makes Kiwi so heavy. Is there anything you love enough to really, truly DIE for?
Oh god I'm tearing up again.......
edit: not my drawing, but pretty soulcrushing anyways!

Seriously. It's bizarre, ain't it??? I have not welled up in a long time. I do watching it though.
As I said before though... The music plays a strong role in that. Just like the Geico Caveman commercial when he's on the conveyor belt, and the music is PERFECT... Same deal here!!!
Yeah that too. The music swells right as the picture rotates and you just *get it.* And then the tear.
Oh gooooooooooodddd
Oh gooooooooooodddd

I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process...
yeah.. This is one of those videos that has amazing philosophical implications on life.
Just how far are you willing to go to achieve a dream?
Do you believe in something so much, that you are willing to die for it?
No matter how you slice it, this video is awesome..

It's a half assed animation of a kiwi. It reveals no transcendent truth, or ultimate meaning. Go read some of Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals if you want to get deep and teary about your lives.

Please, for the love of god, recognize the sarcasm.

If it did nothing for you, you wouldn't have posted you feelings.

Well, that was certainly depressing. Can I get a Domo-kun, please, just to cheer me up?

Sometimes people take things far too seriously, don't they?
Say, for example, a half-assed animation of a flightless bird.
