[TOMT][Animation][90s] Disturbing stop-motion short about a bird-like creature stealing a child’s eyes
I'm trying to find a disturbing animation/stop-motion short that I watched as a child in Brazil, probably in the 90s. I believe it was on free-to-air TV, possibly on TV Cultura.
I think it was a stop-motion short film. I don't remember any dialogue, only ambient sounds, and the scene took place at night.
A child (I think a boy) was trying to sleep, and his bed was in the middle of the room. A humanoid bird-like creature walks up the stairs to enter the boy's bedroom. The boy hears the footsteps and is scared, but he doesn't get out of bed. When the creature enters the room, it approaches the bed, jumps from one side of the bed to the other, and removes the child's eyes. The memory I have is that the eyes were meant to be food for the creature's babies.
The creature looked like a bird-man with a long beak-like nose, walked on two legs, and I think it had feathers on its arms.
This animation traumatized me as a child, and I've mentioned it to many people over the years, but nobody recognizes it. ChatGPT suggested it might be an Eastern European stop-motion short from the 80s or 90s, but couldn't identify exactly what it was.
Sorry if this post isn't very well written, I just remembered this and I'm lying in bed half asleep.
Thanks for the help :)
