I’ve been trying to find this short for some time that I saw on my local PBS station. It would have aired between 9:30-11:00 am on WPNE in what was probably 2009-2012 in the winter. During that time, they often aired random other shows like Bill Nye and My Beautiful House. I remember one morning when I was young during winter break I saw this one short film during that time. There were stick figures on a brown and black color palette background and they were at school. I don’t remember all the details but one of them was being bullied. One of the stick figures was pushed off of the school roof and it ended with the figure sitting in a wheelchair (I think they may have had an arm in a sling?) and they were with a large group. I’d love if someone could help me find this! I never saw it again after it aired that one time but I’ve always been curious. (Edit: just remembered some more details. I think at the end they were playing catch in a circle. Also the art style was similar to this interstitial but I doubt they were made by the same people youtu.be/S2A44x-zPho

I saw this video when I was a kid in class! It would have to have been 2011 or earlier because I left the school where I saw the video in 2011. I remember that the bully was heavier than the other stick figures and that the bully's parent got really upset and shook their fist when they realized the kid was a bully. I also believe that the teacher was a stick figure with glasses (but I'm not entirely sure).
I want to see this video get found because it was pretty insane, intense, and unexpected when a stick figure literally fell off the roof. I don't remember the stick figure being pushed off the roof but I think it fell off because it was getting in a fight with the bully and it wasn't looking where it was going.
Complaining about something is not the same as being surprised about it
donkeyjazz THANK YOU FOR KNOWING WHAT THIS IS OMG I remember I was a little startled by it as a kid but I looked up from my toys and watched it with full interest. Would you say it was about 5-10 minutes long? That’s how long I remember it being. I can remember some of your details yes!

Yeah, probably closer to 10 minutes

I remembered another detail so I thought I’d come back and add it. I think there was like orchestral music over it? I remember a lot of strings when the guy fell from the roof and then it got calm when they played together at the end.

Really? Why this one in particular? I guess I'll send it to him right now though (sent a reddit DM but I don't think he checks it much. He doesn't seem to have options for DM on YouTube other than his email for business inquiries, didn't bother with that).

I literally thought to myself the other day: imagine my repressed memory of something I saw on pbs in elementary school becomes the next clockman or something and here we are lol I don’t know exactly how to word it or if they’d even be if any help but I’m thinking of emailing WPNE and seeing what we get out of them

Jorge has “that voice” for a interesting lost media video.
Sometimes even if the thing being searched for isn’t exactly mysterious, he can make it seem like that just by reading it out loud
(ie him reading Jon Armond’s original recollection of the CrackMaster short)

But why this unidentified media in particular and not others?
