About This Movie

Cockerel (1985) is this quirky little animation that dives into the peculiar dream of a chicken wanting to be a rooster. It's got this whimsical tone, slightly surreal yet charming. The pacing is a bit unhurried, which allows for some reflective moments, showcasing the chicken's struggles and aspirations. The animation style has a distinct hand-drawn quality, giving it a unique feel that sets it apart from the slicker productions of its time. The character designs are simple but memorable, and the overall atmosphere is quite playful. It’s one of those films that, while not widely known, definitely has some interesting ideas about identity and self-acceptance wrapped in a fowl’s journey.
