When this chicken takes a look around at his surroundings, he espies the plucking machine that provides the filling for pillows (mercifully, not pies) and decides that he has to escape. There's a ventilation grill on the wall, that has a tube attached and next thing he is fleeing a rogue lawnmower; picking a fight with a wily worm and then on the wrong end of a tractor beam. The owners of that appliance are a mixed variety of colours, shapes and sizes and in traditional alien abduction style they begin to carry out some experiments on their new arrival. Yet again, he needs to escape - but how, and to where? I did quite enjoy this - in many ways it reminded me of the "Road Runner" cartoons with loads of mischief and slapstick humour. Original? Well no, I suppose not - much of the scenarios we have seen before, but it's still quite an entertaining eight minutes of vivid and colourful animation.
