After having enjoyed Willis H. O'Brien's The Dinosaur and the Missing Link: A Prehistoric Tragedy,I decided to take a look at his IMDb page,and stumbled upon a title which I would be a real "chicken" to not view.
The plot:
Struggling to take care of his dinosaur/chicken hybrid, (you don't see many of those round today!) the caveman gets angry at the animal when a near by neighbour plays a joke that he blames on the animal.Wanting to show that it has done nothing wrong,the animal decides to get its revenge on the neighbour.
View on the film:
Made just a year or so after Missing Link,director Willis H. O'Brien displays a remarkable progression with the visual effects of the movie,thanks to the faces of the stop-motion characters being extremely detailed,and O'Brien also having the characters fully interact with the environment.Whilst the punchline is sadly not a real knock out,O'Brien more than makes up for it with the delightfully weird dinosaur/chicken creature,which leads to this prehistoric chicken being a real golden egg.
