"Beethoven Vs The Bird" - (Award Winning Animated Short Film)

A short film I made

**AWARD WINNING** "Best Animated Film" from the Phantoscope Film Festival

ABOUT:
Beethoven, one of the greatest classical composers of all time, used to go for long walks in the forest and listened to many songs sung by cuckoos, quails, and nightingales, which often inspired his music. This comical Looney-Tunes-style riff asks the important question: "What if Beethoven stole his 5th Symphony from a bird?" And even more importantly: "Will he have to fight this bird for the copyright?"
There are also a few Beethoven easter eggs in this for history buffs so keep your eyes peeled!

This is based on real events as Beethoven actually did take his melody for the 5th Symphony from the song sparrow, here is an example of the real bird call: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=des...
However, this fact isn't as well known for some reason as it is that he was inspired by multiple birds for his 6th symphony. The reason could very well be because the birds forced him to give credit by then after the fiasco of events that are shown in this video.
