Even though he was told to go home, Swift raced up the mountain. Because in his heart, he couldn't go without seeing his friends one last time. That's so sad.
Me and my dad watched this every single day of my life from when I was like 3 until the day I went to kindergarten. My dad passed away in 2019, and not a day goes by where I don’t think of him and miss him dearly. I was showing this to my son because I was giggling and joking about how “traumatized” my generation was from watching things like this. We were laughing and having fun and he said he wanted to see it. He’s 10. So I put it on. But I couldn’t make it 20 seconds in. I started bawling. I told him I can’t watch it or listen to it because it makes me think of “poppy”(that’s what he called my dad). You see my dad was also my son’s best friend for the first 5-6 years of his life and he thinks about him every day too. I walked outside crying to give myself a moment, and at 1:00am, middle of the night(it’s summer time so I let my kid stay up late), a bird started making the craziest noises I ever heard. It immediately stopped my tears. I knew that was a sign from my dad letting me know he is still with me. Love you dad.
My dads favourite bird was a robin and now whenever I see one I think of him. Our minds keep the memories of our passed away loved ones alive within us. It feels like a precious gift but at the same time can be very painful.
this aired around the time my uncle died. i don't really remember as i was four, but my mom said this helped her explain my uncle passing away to me. haven't seen this in decades and i'm in tears 😭
Dude this reminds me of last year because I lost my little brother because he died of sickness and the music in the background reminds me of all the good times I had with him
You're lucky that in 1985 there was no Internet if I hadn't spoiled the ending for you lol, don't complain about a sad ending American friends. How the hell did I end Dungeons and Dragons? It is something that I have not yet assumed, what the hell happened with the kids, you can't leave yourself to the challenge of the world like that in that uncertainty.
I was born in 92 never even knew about this show growing up, especially if they were reruns on Nickelodeon. Probably was the best but I never knew about it because Cesar would’ve been depressed by the ending. It does look peaceful and the messages telling a young audience to understand that comes for us all especially if we get really old. But either way this was actually back in the day. Nickelodeon did things that were sad with some strong messages but then again, that was actually what made Nickelodeon great. Especially looking back on certain shows that had tough pills to swallow
I get that this show had to have an ending and all but did they have to do it in a way that pulled on our heartstrings so deeply? I felt so sad for the fox 😭
My husband always says that there is something wrong with me because nothing in film, ever makes me cry. The sheer pain on Swift's (the fox) face and in his whimpering during this scene make me go off like a sprinkler every time I see it.
The first time I watched this (as a child) it made me cry for days, now as a 41 year old man it hits me that much harder, the fox's reaction to losing his best friends was beyond heartbreaking 😭😭😭
Born in '85, I watched this show faithfully but I never saw the final episode. I just watched it very recently and was bawling. Very sad, but beautifully done. Only thing I still wonder is why didn't their children/grandchildren or even other friends and family members bid them off? When swift started panicking, oh my heart. The finality of their last wave is hauntingly beautiful. "They" don't make kids shows like this anymore.
I remember that episode. What baffled me as a kid, was that they were totally cool with it. Closing their home, freeing their pets and wishing them good luck for the future and then go out in the field waiting for their fate all in gratitude. This was a great lesson for a kid. And the other hand, they are not really dead when you think of it. They just change forms for a new chapter
They said in the cartoon that they can't leave pass 400 years. So when the time was right, they leave all they have behind and go in the field to wait for their fate.
I loved this cartoon as a kid, never knew it ended like this. Poor Swift, fortunately authors gave him new friend. Wise, a bit hard, but realistic and positive lessons for kids to learn.❤🦊
I remember this being the first experience of death in a childhood cartoon. I remember watching it with my family and the parents had a concerned look of “ohhhhh maybe this is a bit much?” But we stuck with it and yes it was sad, but it teaches lessons at such a young age
How could you destroy me😢😢😢

Wish I could find a soundtrack to this show.
What's sad about this is the whole show is based on their last yr on Earth as gnomes.
this freaked me out as a kid
What broke my heart was all the animals crying and trying to find a new home(mice)
Does anyone know the name of the song?
I Watched It In July 16 2017
WHATS THE NAME OF RHE BACKGROUND MUSIC😢
Got something in my throat
Jesus i dont know this series, i just clicket this clip and i am crying now. xD
I remember this! Unlocked part of my childhood 🤯
That field is all condos now. The trees were cut down to make way for a parking garage.
Imagine being stuck as the 3rd wheel for a married tree couple for the next 900 years or so.
This is the most sad ending that I have ever seen...
I watched this every day after kindergarten, I never saw this until now. I'm crying.
David and lisa talking romantically The other gnome just standing awkwardly lol
This just hits different as an adult. Very sad. I still cry a little
Don't get it,,why did they have to change
Life is precious and no one really knows how long we've got. It's important to be grateful for each day 🥺
That’s why I’ll never cut a tree down
this aired around the time my uncle died. i don't really remember as i was four, but my mom said this helped her explain my uncle passing away to me. haven't seen this in decades and i'm in tears 😭
i am going to die one day
my dog died 2 weeks after this
Dude this reminds me of last year because I lost my little brother because he died of sickness and the music in the background reminds me of all the good times I had with him

this is one crazy finale for a educational cartoon about elves

I swear i recall them turning into mushrooms
I hope wherever they’re at they’re happy and they’re together 😢
😢😢😢😢

Just plain grateful with life! NOTHING MORE!

Never saw a single episode of this as a kid but I feel like I just lost a lifelong friend. Godspeed David
I haven't seen this since the 80's... Huh...thought I wouldn't cry this time...
Understand the ending, death is merely a transition.
Born in '85, I watched this show faithfully but I never saw the final episode. I just watched it very recently and was bawling. Very sad, but beautifully done. Only thing I still wonder is why didn't their children/grandchildren or even other friends and family members bid them off? When swift started panicking, oh my heart.

I got that just because one life ends another life will begin and just because you lose someone physically there still with you in spirit
If you watched this as a kid, congratulations youre in therapy now.
Why they had to leave like that though?? What's the kontext
They said in the cartoon that they can't leave pass 400 years. So when the time was right, they leave all they have behind and go in the field to wait for their fate.
David and lisa saying there last words still hurts me to this day
Are you telling me Kurosawa stole this scene for “Dreams”??
I adored this show and the little bits as a kid
I remember watching this cartoon growing up on Nickelodeon never knew how it ended
LOL
I loved this cartoon as a kid, never knew it ended like this. Poor Swift, fortunately authors gave him new friend. Wise, a bit hard, but realistic and positive lessons for kids to learn.❤🦊
He met a vixen at the end of this episode so bitter sweet
This hurts my heart.
