Hot oil was rarely thrown at attackers because of its high cost. Boiling water and other nasty stuff was more common.

The thing is though, this animation is actually a really good summary of just how little people cared about most wars. When the guard drops his helmet and asks for it back, the attackers just see him as a guy who's lost his helmet and try to help him. When they hit him in the head, you can see they're all looking up to see if he's all right. When he opens the gate, they don't immediately run him down but instead wait for him to get his helmet. Obviously the situation is exaggerated here, but not that much; if you do just a cursory amount of research, you'll find all kinds of stories about soldiers on supposedly opposite sides of a conflict being friendly to each other, declaring ceasefires on Christmas, playing football, etc. Yes, there were/are wars where the opposing armies genuinely hate each other, but for the most part, the humans involved in the fighting still recognized each other as humans (70% of the foot soldiers who survived WWII admitted intentionally missing as many shots as they could because they couldn't bring themselves to kill a person). And the end where the guard shrugs and puts on a different colored shirt shows how little it meant for the average person who their country's ruler was. Because, at the end of the day, we just want simple things. Like a helmet.

I think you are reading too much into it. Yes there have been times in war when both sides have come together in some sort of agreement, but these are very few and far between, I.e. very very rare. In reality, the guard would not be asking for his helmet, no one would be trying to get his helmet back to him, once the drawbridge was down the invading force would have entered and the guard either quickly killed or taken prisoner.

The statistic about WW2 is about right. Military training after that focused on breaking down people's natural reluctance to kill each other. However, there has always been quite a bit of raping and pillaging. How does that fit into your theory?

Fantastic! I love how simply the characters are drawn. This less than 2 minute video gave me such a GREAT BIG laugh! Thank you so much!

To be fair that guard did a pretty good job defending his country considering he’s the sole member of their army.

You are amazing" Birdbox Studio". I laughed mightily at this little gem. So much conveyed and yet so much left to the imagination in this hugely tiny epic. I am absolutely in awe of what you do, and even more delighted that you do it. I wish you rainbows.

i'm impressed how simple design is enough to make a good animated short like this

I love the quality of this, lowering detail allows you to increase quality without sacrificing too much time and in my opinion quality is always preferable to detail.

these guys make great animations! i love them all.

The Terraria bow sound effect was just the cherry on the cake for this excellent animation

The sound design is great.

When you tell the guard to protect his equipment above all else:

So much detail in a simple animation. Brilliant.

I just love these animation, even more than Disney when it was 11 years old

Best guard ever!

These are always brilliant! Love 'em!

It's like " दल बदलू friend " 😂😂😂

That little “yay!” at the end tho 😂

Brilliant piece of work. So Monty Python! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

such a nice way of telling a story

A very simple, but a very funny animation. BfK. 👍 ⭐🎬⭐🎬⭐🎬⭐🎬⭐😘

I’ve loved this type of animation since childhood 👍

Beautiful work

this channel inspired to start my own animation channel... thank you birdbox

Excellent comedy!

After watching it so many times I'm starting to wonder this is not the first time the castle swaps hands. That's what you get for not fitting your guards with the right helmet.

These are great.

Omg so good😂😂😂, and thank you comment section I learned from your history knowledge/opinions/hypotheses today

You wont believe this, but something very much like this happened in real life . The English were holding Shrewsbury castle . While fighting the Welsh in the middle ages . There had been a lull in the fighting for a few months and things had quieten down. One Sunday morning the garrison trooped out, going to church. Leaving solders guarding the main entrance ,( some say only 2) . The Welsh seizing their opportunity, rushed in, over powering the defenders . But it was done very quickly with very little noise. When the English returned , after church they were more then a little upset, to find new lodgers !
