Effie's Real Tired Of Yo Crap by Tang
Why is it that whenever chickens get a fleeting chance in the spotlight, they're puffy idiot birds? (I'm lookin' at you, Rio and D e s p i c a b l e Me 2). And when they're an actual character, it's always white and boring. WHY ARE ALL MOVIE CHICKENS LEGHORNS AND CORNISH?!
I want a chicken movie. No teeth, no hands, no googly eyes, just chickens. I shall then die happy.
In case of those wondering, the hen on the bottom is my Silver-Laced Polish, Effie. She's a sweetie.

Someday. Someday you will be head of an animation studio. And you will make your accurate chicken movie, and I will watch it.

All fantasy aside, now... I think it's because of stereotyping. If you get somebody who doesn't see chickens on a regular basis, and lives somewhere where there's lots of concrete and pavement, and ask them to draw a chicken, they'd probably give you your top image there.

Not necessarily that the filmmakers don't know what chickens look like (although that's in the realm of possibility), but that they need the audience to know right away that it's a chicken. And so they use the common understanding of what a chicken looks like.

Yeah, suppose so. But I hate to see them degraded to such a degree. I guess it's so people don't feel as guilty about eating them and cramming them in tiny, disease-ridden facilities for eggs.

*Fillmore voice* It's a conspiracy, man!
