''Paradise'' is an animated short film by Ishu Patel. It was produced by the Creator/NationalFilmBoardOfCanada.
A blackbird lives somewhere in India, near the sultan's palace. The blackbird flies to the sultan's window and finds that the sultan has a glorious magic bird that he keeps in a tower. The magic bird is a shapeshifter and can transform itself into almost any form, changing size, shape, and color in a series of brilliant displays for the entertainment of the sultan.
The blackbird watches the magic bird perform for the sultan and is enchanted. It then decides to fashion itself into a beautiful bird for the benefit of the sultan. It paints it black feathers blue with berries, fashions a fake beak, and steals a lot of more colorful feathers from other birds. With all this finery the now unrecognizable blackbird swoops into the palace and performs for the sultan. The sultan is entertained--but with unexpected consequences for the blackbird.
The soundtrack is by Gheorge Zamfir, aka "Zamfir, master of the pan flute."

!!Tropes:
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The blackbird longs to be beautiful and dance for the sultan like the magic bird does. It works, the sultan is impressed--and the blackbird is clapped into a cage and hung from a tree outside the palace grounds. Luckily, a storm rolls in and knocks the cage from the tree, breaking it open and freeing the blackbird.
* BirdPeople: One of the shapes that the magic bird can assume is that of a bird man, a humanoid with arms and legs but still with a bird face and wings.
* FullMoonSilhouette: The blackbird poses in front of the moon at the end, as all its prettier bird friends dance for it.
* GildedCage: Eventually the blackbird realizes that for the magic bird the beautiful palace is a gilded cage. This realization is driven home when the blackbird is put in a decidedly less beautiful cage.
* TheMakeover: The blackbird gives itself one, transforming from a humble blackbird to a glamorous, if somewhat garish, multicolored bird. It's played for comedy, though--the ornate fake tail the blackbird is wearing makes it harder to fly, and its fake beak falls off while it's dancing for the sultan.
