I remember watching some of the episodes of this show when I was a wee little kid. It gave me nightmares for months. As I grew older I sort of forgot about this up until very recently when I had a weird dream about this show. I spent couple of days searching for this with keywords like "animals relocate after forest clearing by humans cartoon death" and finally stumbled upon your video.

Funny, my Mom (a Wildlife Biologist) rescued and raised a Shrike- he was super sweet and cute. I figure it was because he was hand-raised. Though, we're in Texas, so I'm not sure if the UK Shrikes are known for being more vicious than the North American ones or not. Also, the music in the build up/during Mr. Pheasant's always made that the most disturbing death for me.

Let's face it. All animal stories are Sad and Dark!

Not gonna lie my dad would cook chicken duck turkey rabbit whatever as is feet in tacked and eat em

Fun fact:the bird who stabbed the mice with a thorn bush is a shrike

Whoa, that hedgehog death was brutal. Just faceless cold truck tires bearing down on the 2 😲 that's why you're not supposed pool ur kid in front of the TV with no supervision, it's the stuff of nightmares.

When I was in year 4 my teacher would play one episode before the end of the day of school

Fox babies are kits same for rabbits

Now I will never kill an animal on a game again

The snake is my favourite character

This show scared me for 5 years

On the feet still being on Mrs. Pheasant’s husk after being cooked, that’s to drive home that you are in fact seeing her corpse having been cooked rather than something bought at a grocery store. It’s an amateur butcher job done at home rather than a factory

Good god, the scene where mr. Pheasant sees his wife having been killed, plucked, gutted, beheaded, and cooked. It’s one thing to imply a hunting death was for food. Imagine seeing what’s left of Bambi’s mom having been butchered

Ironic when you think about the hedgehogs getting ran over, since the same animal was featured in a road safety psa...

True cartoon for future cold-blooded killers.

I actually cried the hedgehogs pheasants and badger

Whats a U rating?

Wow 32 thousand likes for the butterfly 🦋 nice

DISTURBIN'

French TV unfortunatly bought that show from British and traumatize a generation. It seems many british animation were very sad and chocking like Farthing Wood, Plague dogs, Watership down, When the Wind Blows, etc...

😭😭😭😭

whats the name of the song that plays at around 5:36?

Is it bad I actually laughed my ass off @14:14...? 🤣

How big was that rat to strangle a snake?? That very handsome snake

There are two Don Bluth movies that are now owned by his former employer Disney due to them acquiring the company that made them, 20th Century Fox, these are the two movies, the first is about a cute Russian Princess who is the youngest daughter of Nicholas II and the only surviving child of the Romanovs, her best friend and love interest is a kitchen boy named Dimitri, she also has a dog named Pooka and a White Bat named Bartok, they go to Paris to find her grandmother, Dowager Empress Marie, but the evil Rasputin is in hot pursuit of her. The other one is a sci-fi adventure movie about a guy named Cale Tucker and his two companions Akima Kunimoto and Joseph Korso who go on a journey throughout the universe to find a ship that has a similar name to the largest moon of Saturn that has the ability to create an Earth-like planet that will save the human species from the Drej, an evil energy-based alien race who have decimated the Earth. Do you know what these movies are called? Anastasia and Titan AE.

9:46 😦 I can tell British children shows are more realistic than any other children show.

Badger gets me the most

Yo know the hedgehog’s deaths could have been avoided if the hitched a ride on a larger animal’s back

Annnnd...this is for kids?.....🤷‍♀️

I never realized that this show is connected with Watership Down

Adder rly said 👀 (👀)

I have to ask: If Badger and the other animals knew the hedgehogs had a tendency to curl up or freeze when frightened, WHY didn’t it ever cross their minds to just... /carry them across the street/ like Badger was carrying Mole? It’s not like they’re hard to carry, they weigh almost nothing :0

Mr and mrs hedge hog be like: *ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED Till’ death do us....

Badger's death reminds me of a book that was read to be at my Catholic school, it was an old badger and his friends, and the elderly badger dies, the badger's friends mourn but at the end they realize that it's ok because they will always remember him.

We had this in germany and I think i saw the hedgehog couple death and that turned me off the series for a long time lol all memories i have of it are some of the characters and that one death scene, my brain might have blocked out more though like that pheasant couple looks absulotely traumatic for a child wow (the baby mice as well..... but seeing your wife cooked on a plate, ...) .___.

Although this is a kids show, I would type love to see the evil rats decease

The saddest one was the butterfly 🦋 one like equales one butterfly in white deer park

It was one of the few books I actually cried at, and I didn't know it had been turned into a show on the telly. Thanks for letting me know, haha. The hedgehogs will always be the saddest death in my opinion I swear to god I had to put the book down and think for a bit It still doesn't compare to the death of the horse Chestnut in Black Beauty, that made my ten year old self cry her eyes out. Jesus christ. What a book

Is adder venom really strong enough to kill a fully grown fox that quickly though? And how did Adder's tail grow back between seasons?

Man the pheasant scene it breaks my heart into million pieces.I don't even know why.the pheasant voice while he is crying and had to see his wife like that and the dramatic music during that scene.gets me every time and I never felt this kind of emotional empact from any other cartoon movie or video game.

F for the baby mice

SCP-2718

Lmao poor butterfly 🦋 😆😆

Reasons I'm vegan:

when he says "season 1" I was like "THIS THING CAME IN SEASONS?!????!?!!?? ._. WHY ON EARTH"

The voice for adder reminds me of the Dragon in Drakengard 1

Holy shit. Ya know it’s gonna be one hell of a video when impaled children makes number 5 of 5.

Japanese animation and animation from the UK usually have a of lot sad and emotional scenes in the films. I am use to this because I grew up with them.

R.i.p Butterfly, may he rest in butter heaven

Dam

I wish Warrior Cats was a show so I can slam the fatalities down on this video with a note that says "PROCEED WITH CAUTION"

What the absolute fuck England.

The death of the snake feels weird because it loiks like Ratigan murdered him. Seriously, where did those rats come from ? All the animals in this look like real life animals but then you have those cartoonish rats showing up...

1:52 The Bird behind The Slaughter

I FORGOT ABOUT THIS SHOW ADDER WAS MY FAVORITE

Danger noodle did a sleepy time bite

British Wild Game of Thrones.

F

Haha truck go vroom

Adder, a true Slytherin if I ever saw one.

How embarrassing

14:46 I’ve never laughed so hard at a freeze

Jesus Christ England wanna tone down the childhood trauma

I love how Adder is not a male :3

HOW THE FUCK WAS THIS RATED U?!

F in the chat for the foxes

As dark as that show is, the violence kinda shows the nitty gritty of wildlife, and I quite liked the fact that it acknowledged that kids can generally handle that stuff better than we give them credit for. But Adder killing Scarface out of vengeance and gleefully watching him die seems a step too far me considering we're supposed to root for her.

What about we let him "review" Happy Tree Friends?

No, *you're* crying.

Jesus I've never heard of this show before but it looks like it gave Disney's Bambie a run for its money

They got some f$@led up cartoons in England

Kid film back then: happy Kid film today: die idiot

i hate to say this but why the F*** is this U rating 👁👄👁

8:14 so that scene was basically what multiplayer crossy roads would look like

For me, personally the hedgehogs were the worst. #5. Sinuous #4. Bold #3. Mr. and Mrs. Pheasant #2. Badger #1. Mr. and Mrs. Hedgehog

Ya'll, why are British cartoons so dark😅

Saw this when I was a kid and tbh it never scared me or made me sad (except the hedgehogs). I'm pretty sure kids see things differently

I don’t think I could handle this show, and I’m 30!

Wait a minute the music when the mice is on the thorn Bush sounds like the batman 89 theme

I remember not bothering with this show as a kid in the 90s (this was in Norway) because the show looked slow and old. Little did I know it was more metal than any of the shows I was watching at the time

I've never seen this show before but that hedgehog couple :'( I think the death was genuinely scary

Creator's of this show: Spin the wheel to see who dies in this episode!!!

These animals: die Hirohiko Araki: Kill them all? GOOD IDEA

I am literally crying 😭

I literally winced with the gunshot that took out Mr. Pheasant. Damn, this show is hardcore...

The shrike is screaming his name like a fucking Pokemon 😂

Steve I believe you mean double barrel shotgun instead of rifle

This show Pioneered the final destination franchise

goddamn fucking rat. Not the snake.

Number 1: The viewe-

Sinous is the most brutal

Swap no. 2 with 1 and replace bold with Scarface who can do one

Why my boi Ralph macchio gotta be in a gorey movie :

You've just gone into the archives of my mind and brought all this back. Wow. Mind blown. ☺️

😭

Rip Mr and Mrs Pheasent they will be missed never have I felt so bad for an animated character

I think it would be interesting if Watership down took place at the same time as farthing wood

“You were too good for this world”

this series makes me feels sorry for being born as human being, especially at that Mr. and Mrs. Pheasant
