Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Hill Farm is an animated short film (18 minutes) from 1989 directed by Mark Baker.The setting is, well, a farm on a hill. The household consists of husband-and-wife farmers and their large, lazy farmhand. Roosters hump hens, pigs devour huge piles of food in a single bite, and occasionally the wife snaps a chicken's neck before having it for dinner. There's a bear nearby that is big enough to kill Godzilla, but it seems to pose little threat to the farm.Two groups of interlopers disturb the peace of the farm. First there's a group of four tourists, who seem to be hippies (one strums a guitar). They intrude on the farm and bother the farmers before going into the wrong cave and disturbing the bear. Worse are the hunters in red coats, who come riding in on horseback on a fox hunt. After the poor fox is torn apart by dogs, the hunters wind up antagonizing the bear, threatening to bring its wrath down on the whole farm.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Black Comedy: The wife casually snaps the neck of a chicken right after one of the tourists takes her picture. The tourist faints.

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The bear is gigantic. It's bigger than the barn that all the humans and livestock hide in.

Don't Go Into the Woods: Both the tourists and the hunters go wandering into the woods and eventually stumble into the giant bear's cave. The tourists irritate the bear by taking pictures but manage to make their escape. One of the hunters, on the other hand, fires his gun at the mega-bear and provokes it into attacking.

Bears Are Bad News

Bears Are Bad News: A bear the size of a battleship is certainly bad news. Interestingly the farmhand/shepherd is able to keep the monster bear from eating a sheep by swatting it on the nose with his shepherd's crook. But when one of the hunters wanders into the bear's cave and takes a shot at it, the bear comes out of the cave and menaces the farm.

Cock-a-Doodle Dawn: It is a farm, after all...the rooster comes out of the barn attic and crows at the rising sun. Then it hops down to the ground and casually has sex with one of the hens.
