Sinekatalog’s take
A Czech animated short where a schoolboy's badly drawn chicken comes to life and escapes into the teacher's garden. Brdečka's gentle humor and cubist style make it a lovely oddity. Perfect for animation lovers of any age.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
