Full transcript

There was a time when it was always summer, when the sun always shined brightly.0:10
The breezes were always calm and mild, and life for the animals was peaceful and worry -free.0:16
And of all the animals, none was more handsome, and none had a voice more beautiful than crow.0:23
I'm going to leave, Gator's going to bite, a grey wolf pack is going to rule the night.0:39
A mountain lion's never been afraid of heights, but it's better when you can fly.0:47
Whoa!0:54
Hey, that sounds like...0:55
CROAK!0:56
These were her singing.1:00
I think he landed.1:03
I think he landed.1:05
Oh, yoyoyoy.1:06

That guy has got a voice.1:08
Shhh.1:10
Come on.1:11
Oh, skunk!1:37
Hey, hello?1:39
Shhh.1:40
Is somebody out there?1:42
Who's there?1:43
Whoops, looks like you're...1:44
Busted!1:46
I can't let him smell me like this.1:47
Run, fly, run, go, just go.1:49
Then one day winter came to the forest for the very first time, and the lives of the animals would never be the same.2:02
I don't like this.2:28
I can't feel my toes.2:30
Yes, yes.2:33
Oh, give me your arm.2:34
We gotta do something.2:36
There is a solution.2:37
Don't be afraid to death.2:39
Everyone!2:40
Yeah, we gotta do something before we freeze to death.2:41
There is a solution.2:54
Someone must fly past the moon and the sun to where the stars dwell.2:56
To the one who creates everything by thinking and convince him or her to unthink the cold and make it warm for us once again.3:02
What about Crow?3:15
I mean, who could say no to that amazing voice and those beautiful feathers and...3:17
Why don't you just ask him?3:24
Crow?3:25
Crow's here?3:26
Hey, everybody.3:27
Look, I can't go on a trip right now.3:31
I have rehearsals coming up for my show at the pond.3:35
You're playing the pond?3:38
I think you dig it.3:39
You're gonna check it out, right?3:41
Yeah, maybe.3:43
I gotta see about my schedule and stuff.3:45
Yeah, that's cool.3:48
If you're free, come on by.3:49
I guess that leaves me.3:56
Mott's can fly.3:57
Yeah, but you just fly right into the sun.3:59
I would, wouldn't I?4:04
Well, not to toot my own horn, but owls are known for their expertise on the wing, even in absolute darkness.4:07
Wish me luck.4:15
Oh, dear.4:17
My vertigo.4:18
Oh!4:19
Oh!4:19
Well, I guess that leaves you, Crow.4:22
Come on, guys.4:24
There's plenty of birds that can run your errand.4:25
I've got a show to do.4:27
Look, there is not gonna be a show at the pond if we're all frozen solid.4:28
Give me a break.4:33
I'm an artist, not a messenger boy.4:34
I've got rehearsals.4:37
I've got my fans to think about.4:38
So that's all we are to you, fans.4:40
Uh, whoa.4:44
And I thought you were.4:45
I thought you were more than just a voice with feathers.4:47
Whoa.4:52
But I guess I was wrong.4:52
Look, it's not like I'm saying it would be hard.5:03
So you'll do it?5:06
Yes.5:13
So Crow began his journey to find the one who creates everything by thinking.5:19
Break a leg, Crow.5:27
Thanks, Luna.5:28
This ain't as easy as I thought.5:29
But don't really break a leg.5:31
Crow, there is no place for a bird.5:39
You need to get back down to Earth.5:42
Hey, watch the feathers.5:45
Sorry, see, that's exactly what I'm talking about.5:46
Hey, that's not down.5:49
You're going the wrong way, Crow.5:50
Wrong way.5:52
Whoa, that's me.6:11
Man.6:19
Hey, big guy.6:26
That's got to be the place.6:43
A couple more flats, Crow.6:48
Oh.7:03
Oh, bird.7:03
I wish Crow was back.7:04
Oh, well, I thought he'd be back already.7:06
Who knows?7:09
Maybe he found someplace warm and we'll never see him again.7:10
No.7:16
I know he'll do whatever he can.7:17
Make any sacrifice to save us.7:20
Unless something happened.7:22
What if he's in trouble?7:25
I will go find out.7:26
No, Moth.7:28
You won't be able to resist the sun's warm, soothing glow.7:29
I can handle the sun.7:32
No.7:33
Moth.7:34
Whoa, would you look at this place?7:48
Crow had found the palace of the one who creates everything by thinking.8:03
The source of the entire universe.8:08
And he can only imagine the majesty of the spirit that lived within.8:10
Hello?8:27
Wake up down there.8:29
The view from the blue sky.8:34
It looks so good when you're up high.8:38
I remember that tune.8:42
It was stuck in my head for weeks.8:43
Who are you?8:46
I...8:48
I've been sitting here way too long.8:48
So, what brings you here, Crow?8:54
You don't know?8:57
I mean, you are the one who creates...8:58
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I know.9:00
You want me to unthink the cold.9:01
Exactly.9:05
So, your friends pick you to be their big hero because of what?9:06
Your sweet voice and pretty feathers?9:10
Well, I'm more than just a voice with feathers.9:13
You better be.9:15
For their sake.9:17
Look, I'm enjoying our little chat, but back on Earth, those friends of mine are getting colder.9:18
But I can't unthink what's already been thunk.9:24
That's a rule I thunk up.9:25
Is thunk a word?9:28
Your thinking is what got me in this hot mess in the first place.9:30
Hot?9:34
That's it?9:35
Hold on to this branch.9:36
Branch?9:38
Whoa.9:39
Now, watch in amazement as I make it burst into flames.9:40
It's hot!9:45
You're dying right, it's hot!9:47
It's fire!9:49
Well, don't just stand there.9:52
Go!9:54
Hurry!9:54
And whatever you do, you must not let that torch burn out.9:56
Let's see what you're really made of.10:02
Kroll!10:14
Kroll!10:17
Where are you?10:18
Yeah, what the heck is gotten into you, animals?10:19
But you should never look directly at the sun, and I mean especially you.10:22
I tried to try, don't look.10:25
They know what that means.10:26
Because I know how attracted you are to my rich, mesmerizing.10:26
You be quiet, mister!10:29
So?10:30
You're right.10:31
You will not hear me say another word about my inviting golden orbal.10:32
Would you be quiet?10:35
Uh -oh.10:39
Ay, que rico!10:42
No, no, watch again.10:44
Get back.10:45
Snap out of it!10:50
Oh, I found you!10:52
What are you doing up here?10:53
I thought you might need some help.10:55
Help?10:57
No, sir.10:58
When the one who creates everything by thinking heard my song, she stopped her thinking and gave me this amazing gift of fire.10:59
Look at it.11:06
Can you feel it?11:07
It's warm!11:08
Whoa.11:10
And so, the show will go on.11:11
Ow!11:14
My feathers!11:15
My feathers!11:16
Oh, no!11:20
The fire!11:21
It's gone!11:23
I failed.11:28
I failed everyone.11:30
You're wrong, Crow.11:35
You will not give up.11:37
You will do whatever you can, make any sacrifice to save us.11:39
You really think that?11:44
No, that's what Skunk said.11:46
I figured you found some place warm and we're never coming back.11:48
But Skunk, she believes in you.11:51
She does?11:54
All right, Crow.12:02
Let's see what you're really made of.12:04
Yeah, well, whatever it is, it's flammable.12:06
Crow!12:10
No!12:11
Come back!12:12
No, no, no, don't do it, Crow!12:12
Your feathers!12:14
Come on, my eye!12:15
I am so old.12:22
Look!12:27
What is it?12:38
It's so warm.12:41
Oh, yeah.12:44
Oh, yeah!12:47
I feel like myself again, turtles back!12:49
Yeah, baby!12:52
Hey, race you home!12:55
I win!13:00
Hey, everybody!13:02
Moth, you're okay!13:04
I did not fly into the sun and you should have seen Crow.13:05
Oh, he was like...13:09
wait, where did he go?13:11
Oh, oh, oh.13:14
It's car.13:21
Fire.13:24
Crow?13:26
Are you okay?13:27
Oh, oh, oh.13:44
Skunk, is that you?13:49
Crow, I'm so sorry.13:57
It's okay.14:00
You can't help it.14:02
I'm not talking about that.14:05
I like your smell.14:10
It's kind of earthy, you know, in a good way.14:12
Really?14:19
I should be the one to apologize.14:21
I've been a real jerk.14:24
Acting like I was better, better than you, better than everyone.14:26
Well, looks like I got what I deserved.14:31
You're not gonna stop singing, right?14:38
I used to have perfect pitch.14:43
Nobody's perfect.14:46
Okay, Crow.14:57
Now, let's see what you're really made of.14:59
Oh, what's happening?15:05
Crow, your feathers!15:13
Look!15:17
Whoa, my colors.15:19
They've been in there all along.15:23
The view from the blue sky.15:31
It looks so good when you're up high.15:35
The blues come round, they won't get me down.15:39
I can make you.15:42
What do you think?15:45
I actually like your new voice.15:47
It's kind of earthy.15:50
Yeah, you know, in a good way.15:51
Bravo, maestro!15:55
Hey, why'd you stop?15:56
The view from the blue sky.16:03
It looks so good when you're up high.16:08
The blues come round, they won't get me down.16:11
I can make my escape.16:15
I'm not sly like a fox.16:19
Don't bite like a flea.16:21
Or, gradually, you would never run away from me.16:23
But think of all the things they could never see.16:27
It's better when you can fly.16:31
Oh, the view from the blue sky.16:34
It looks so good when you're up high.16:38
The blues come round, they won't get me down.16:42
I can make my escape.16:46
Oh, everybody sings, but not like me.16:49
But as much bad to hear above the truth.16:54
Look up in the sky, I'm a sight to see.16:57
It's better when you can fly.17:01
The view from the blue sky.17:05
It looks so good when you're up high.17:09
Oh, but when I'm down, won't you come around and help me make my escape?17:12
No matter how high a crow can go, there's gonna come a time when it's brought down low.17:20
A hit rock bottom that I just don't know.17:29
Oh, it is better when you can fly.17:35
I'm excited to share my new animated short film with you, Crow the Legend.18:00
Inspired by a Native American legend, it's the origin story of the crow, who once had beautiful plumage and a clear singing voice and became known today for its black18:06
feathers and calling voice.18:15
I voiced the part of crow and wrote an original song for this movie.18:17
The story is about inclusion.18:21
It's about self -sacrifice for the community and how we are all connected.18:23
We, Baobab Studios, Native Americans in Philanthropy, and my studio, Get Lifted Films, felt that these themes are universal and perhaps especially relevant today.18:28
One of the cast and our co -producer, Sarah Eagleheart, taught us on this journey the little -known history of many Native American youth being forced into reeducation camps, where18:38
they were forbidden to tell their stories like this, whose roots are indigenous to this continent.18:48
We feel it's important to share this beautiful story with the world.18:53
I was excited to share it with other amazing talent including Oprah, Constance Wu, Diego Luna, Liza Koshy, Ty Sheridan, and Native American rights crusaders, Sarah Eagleheart and Randy Edmonds.18:57
As my character Crow says in the movie, check it out, I hope you'll dig it.19:12
