Running Time: 7 minutes

Why did the chicken cross the road? More importantly, what was the chicken doing in the city and if he were to pass right by you on the street, would you stare? MORNING STROLL is a creative and very funny three-act short that covers this question. We watch the exploits of a chicken and the people who he confuses as he takes his morning strolls.

Shot in old-school black-and-white animation in the beginning and then progressively shown in some really good computer animation, MORNING STROLL has no dialogue but rather is a long joke that will leave the viewer completely satisfied. The computer animation, especially near the end (featuring a zombie) is great and colorful to look at. It’s just a really entertaining short that is worth your time.

Grade: A-: MORNING STROLL will probably get released on DVD as an extra feature or officially released on Youtube eventually. I advise that you set 7 minutes of your life aside and watch this funny short. It comes highly recommended!
