La Leyenda Del Espantapájaros (The Legend of the Scarecrow)

La Leyenda Del Espantapájaros

 

La Leyenda Del Espantapájaros (The Legend of the Scarecrow, in English) starts off with a scarecrow. He seems to be friendly enough, but the birds just can’t see that. However, one day, a wounded crow tells him the reason why he is constantly rejected. He then thinks of talking to his boss, the farmer. Maybe he can have a new job instead and finally get friends. Maybe.

This is an award-winning, heart-breaking animated film of a scarecrow amidst a world of unfriendly birds and fearful masters. It’s quite dark, as most fairytales originally are. Nevertheless, it is tear-jerking, haunting, and beautiful.

(This is available with and without English subtitles. Here’s another animated film about a curious town with curious events. And this one is about a fairytale born from real life.)

I'm the webmaster and author at Freespanishshortfilms.com. I started this website as a complement to my studies in the Spanish language, but honestly, it just gave me an excuse to watch lots of great short films (like the ones in my author's picks section). I also blog and write short stories.
