Crows' Feat

About This Movie

Crows' Feat is a quirky little animation from 1962 that captures the carefree spirit of its two Mexican crows. The whole premise revolves around their escapade as they dive into a corn field, and it’s filled with whimsical humor and some clever animation techniques for the time. The pacing is light and playful, giving it an almost dreamlike quality. You can’t help but appreciate the detail in the crows’ antics and expressions, which feels lively and authentic. It stands out as a piece that reflects mid-century animation charm, with a notable absence of the more polished styles that dominate later. It's more about the journey than any grand message, and there’s something refreshingly simple about that.

Crows' Feat has seen limited release on various formats over the years, often buried in collections of vintage animations or festival showings. The scarcity of original prints makes it a notable piece for collectors who appreciate the less mainstream animations from the era. Interest is slowly growing, especially among those who relish the whimsical and experimental side of early animation. It’s not ubiquitous, so finding a copy in decent condition might take some time.
