About

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.
