Egg and Bomb

Henry Waghorn and his kindhearted son Henry run a chicken circus, although sometimes there are accidents and audiences are dwindling. Then a smooth-tongued entrepreneur comes to visit, with secret plans to turn chickens into chicken legs. Egg and Bomb is a mini-epic of good versus bad which features explosions, chickens on roller skates, thwarted love and caffeine-related psychosis. This quirky animated short was directed by George Port, who was the founding member of Peter Jackson's digital effects powerhouse Wētā FX.

I’m talking about nationwide franchise Waghorn, and towering over each and every restaurant a 200-foot concrete rooster.
