I love how this animation uses the actual mythology of unicorns, especially for the end. Unicorns are the magical embodiment of life itself. And to give up that life is truly something sad. That forest dragon cannot breath life into the little things of the world like that dear Unicorn, but they can plant them and wait. Ugh, gods, I'm crying. (Knowing the mythology just makes this harder T^T)

The original folk song of Scarborough Fair was about politely telling an ex lover that they are no longer interested. Paul Simon came up with and made Canticle, an anti-war song, then blended the two together with his pal Art Garfunkel, in Scarborough Fair/Canticle. In effect, it tells the warmongers and people who love death and violence that we are no longer interested in their bull, and why. It’s one of the prettiest break-up songs with war itself that was ever made.

Welecome to the community that loves these two.

The way the dragon shakes her head as she fires off a giddy flame as she plays with the unicorn: it feels real and natural. The sheer amount of the emotion in the unicorn’s eyes as he lies with the dragon is powerful, and my heart beats with his eyes as he gazes at her. The consternation and heartbreak in the dragon’s eyes, looking about wildly as she suffers her fatal wound is mind-blowing to me. You can see it; you can really see it. You see it, and you can feel them in your heart. It’s in every frame, every blink, every turning of the head. The submissive, lack of belonging as the unicorn looks away from his herd members fighting. His eyes as he cries over the body of his lost love, his fear for the worst come to pass; it’s as though denying him pride or dignity wasn’t enough, that the others of his herd had to take even this from him. As his form goes alight, his expression is calm, touched with sadness; he’s made up his mind. And as he gently touches her snout, you see all his love, all his regret for what happened, all his yearning for things to have been different, and you feel his goodbye. The pensive way she touches the gift he left when she wakes, quiet, understanding, sad, with love still warming her heart even though he is gone. I may not know the meaning of the song itself, but the sounds of it and the story accompanying the video enchant me in ways I can’t explain. I don't mean to wax poetic, but if anyone who worked on this sees my comments, I just want them to know how it captivated me.

Lyrics: Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (on the side of a hill in the deep forest green) Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested ground) Without no seams nor needle work (blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain) Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call) Tell her to find me an acre of land (on the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves) Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (Washes the grave with silvery tears) Between the salt water and the sea strands (a soldier cleans and polishes a gun) Then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather (war bellows blazing in scarlet battalions) Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill) Gather it all in a bunch of heather (and to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten) Then she'll be a true love of mine Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Honestly the poor thing looked so confused and shocked. The animation and everything was gorgeous, I’m glad I looked this song up again and came back to this video. Don’t mind me imma just go cry in the corner. QWQ

For those who don't know, this is a cover/rendition of Simon & Garfunkel's song by the same name and, personally, I like this version so much more. The original is slow and calming, this version is also slow and calming but feels like it tells a story; the pacing, the tone, and, paired with the animation, evokes emotion rather than just calmness. Especially comparing the line "generals ordered their soldiers to kill", the original line is sung more quietly and in the background, this version is more out in the open and evokes emotions in the listener, it tells a story with the way its sung here. In short, ya'll did an AMAZING job! I love it!

You're absolutely right. So many elements make this hit even harder than it would have otherwise. I'm studying animation and characters always stand out to me the most, but details like the petals, the weight of the dragon's body as she beats her wings... So many small things make this all feel RIGHT and immersive. Thanks for this comment, or else I probably wouldn't have thought to study those things in this video too.

When I was young and we had to write short stories in school the teachers would say "write what you know", and I knew I loved mythical creatures... so I would always write about unicorns, dragons, pegasus, mermaids, etc. The main story arcs would always include two creatures from differing species meeting and becoming friends against the odds. Often because both were outcasts. These are the stories I would write from grade 3-onward. I distinctly remember the one with a young winged-unicorn running away to the top of the mountain because the rest of the herd was mean to him... and that's where he met the dragon who was feared by everyone else. They ended up saving all of the creatures in the entire valley from some sort of evil threat. NEEDLESS TO SAY. Watching this made my mouth fall open, I was speechless, seeing something I had imagined over and over so many times for so many years come to life so beautifully through someone completely separate from me. While accompanied by Dan's voice... I just had the best cry I have had in ages. I immediately purchased the CD. You cannot have a moment of such pure and raw emotion like that and just continue on with your day. That was the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced. Thank you to everyone involved in it's creation.

I rarely comment. No one will see this. That's fine. Mr. Avidan and compatriots, I am compelled to comment now. This video is beautiful. In the truest, purest sense. It hearkens back to 'The Last Unicorn' in the best way. I am not a person who is touched by many things to the point of crying. This video is one of them. Even thinking of it now, tears are welling up. It is pure, heartbreaking childhood for me. Thank you for the hard work, dedication, and love you all put into your projects. I shall remember this video after men are gone and tales told by rabbits.

Best description ever. You win all the gold stars.

Listed under: things I didn’t know I wanted to hear in Dan’s voice

I love this song. It's really beautiful, wonderful, classic, and special. The song of Scarborough Fair fits well for the short film with the dragon and the unicorn when they met in the forest and formed a lovely bond of friendship. They even shared their talents of magic to make things grow till they eventually became friends. Then one day, the unicorn was out to get a lilac branch while the dragon was asleep, three of the other unicorns from her herd attacked him and one of them stabbed him in his heart with the horn. The poor dragon was dying in his wound. But before death, the dragon stood his ground and breathed his last fire to make those unicorns run away. He was dead. And when the unicorn heard the commotion, she raced back to her friend as quick as she could, but it was too late. She found her poor dragon friend lying dead with his blood spilling on the ground and it sadly broke her heart. In order to save the dragon's life, the unicorn used up all her magic to heal him and brought him back from the dead, and then the next thing, she was gone. When the dragon awoke at sunrise, he found himself healed and the plants right in front of him. He realized his friend, the unicorn, left them for him and and passed away. The unicorn could not lose him for the sake of their friendship, which meant she sacrificed herself to save the dragon. The dragon never forgot his friend as he planted the little tree and flower bush in the middle of the forest with magic. Magic, excitement, adventure, thrills, and friendship. I always love fantasy things and magical worlds filled with fantastic creatures, immortal beings, little people, and mystic figures. They fascinate me since childhood. There is nothing wrong a little believing. I never gave up believing in fairies and magic with all my heart because I still refuse to grow up and forget all those things I have know in my young life. I am like Peter Pan. I still hate getting old, which is terrible to look weak and ugly. Yuck! I wish to be a fairy that stays strong, childlike, young, and beautiful forever and ever like Tinker Bell (Peter Pan) and the blue fairy (Pinocchio). I love fairies and magic, always have and always will.

On top of the lovely sound of the song, the imagery and use of 'plant language' is lovely too Parsley: Removes bitterness Sage: Strength and Wisdom Rosemary: Love Thyme: Courage and happiness and the use of oak and the purple flowers of which I think looks closest to Sea Lavender/Statice in this animation- Oak: Strength, Morale, Resistance, Knowledge Sea Lavender: Remembrance and Sympathy, though the purple kind also specifically represents Mystery, Enchantment, Charm, and Grace

This was shared by a friend who did indeed give a "FEELS WARNING" when he shared it with me, but... That warning was NOT enough. This hit hard on such a basic level that I'm still reeling a bit after the second viewing. I was *not* expecting this to affect me as hard as it did. Wonderful work. Exquisite, even! I'm saddened that I didn't find this until just now.

This is like my 4th time watching it I always watch it to see if I can try not cry, but I always end up crying 😭

Oh and the CD cover art...................Just wow. Whoever is responsible for the artwork did an amazing job.

Ow, whoa, actually, totally serious, I wasn't expecting to cry at this. Amazing, amazing expressiveness and storytelling.

That's because not only is the animation beautiful and sad, but so is the song. From my understanding, the main set of lyrics for the song are a man telling his lover she may have him if she fulfills a set of impossible tasks (ie sewing him a seamless shirt), while the second set of lyrics that echo explain the circumstances which lead to the man singing to pass away. Soldiers broke into his cabin while he was asleep and killed him. Which is why he gave an impossible list of demands to his lover. He is dead and cannot be with her. At least that's my understanding of the song. I may be wrong. Still a sad song either way and Dan did it justice.
