It's 1959 and as the joke might have gone, a chicken was walking down the road... We see just what the city and it's people might have looked like. Then we skip on fifty years and it's now 2009 and the world is an an entirely different place as the chicken continues down the same road. What is next? 2059. Society appears to have collapsed. The city is in ruins with burnt out cars on the streets and yet still our brave chook strolls along aimlessly. Then he meets a man. A man from the mind of John Carpenter or Roger Corman. A man who has bulging eyes and super strength and who doesn't need Col. Sanders to know how to enjoy his dinner. Can the bird make it to safety? This is quite a cleverly constructed animation using different styles to illustrate each of the timelines, the fashions, the people, the cars and even something of the attitudes. The last minute, or so, is also quite funny and it introduces the vaguest hint that time travel might not be that unusual for our feathered friend. There's quite a jolly score accompanying his travels and I couldn't help but wonder if the choice of a chicken as the subject might be a poke at just how mankind is rather dumbly wandering into a future in which we won't exist.
