Hey everyone ! I am looking for the name of a strange old animated movie. All I can remember is that there were birds that could turn into humans and there was an old barn with an evil magician. Any help would be appreciated !

The description is
Vaguely similar to,

Willy the Sparrow

Nope :( I checked .But thank you!! It was very dark like black and white paper animation ,maybe an old russian fairytale or french??

Krabat: The Sorcerer's Apprentice (1978) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075811/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2)
