Birdvillage (partially lost direct-to-video animations by Scott Cawthon; 1999-2002)

Volume 1 VHS cover.

Status: Partially Found

Birdvillage is a series of shorts made between 1999 and 2002 by Scott Cawthon (widely known for his video game series, Five Nights at Freddy's). These animations centered around a group of birds named Beak, Sea Bill, Stork and Camo, who would go on wild adventures. The segments had to do with travelling to the moon (Beak's Vacation), fighting giant snowball-blasting robots (Beak's Snowball Fight), and travelling through time (presumably, Birdvillage: The Movie).

Availability

Very little info can be found on these animations, as they are very obscure. Two VHS tapes of this series are known to exist; Birdvillage Volume 1, released in 1999, and Stories from Birdvillage, released in 2002. Until November 24th, 2020, the only short that could be found was Beak's Snowball Fight, which was released as a bonus feature on Return to Mushsnail, another one of Scott Cawthon's animations. The most obscure of the Birdvillage videos, however, is Birdvillage: Second Nest. It is assumed to be the sequel to Birdvillage: The Movie. The only reference of it that has ever been found was on Scott Cawthon's website under his sample works.^[1]

On November 24th, 2020, kyng wzrd discovered he had the Volume 1 VHS, and uploaded two previously lost animations. This confirmed that these animations were made in 1999 at the earliest.
