Atomic Chicken

A flock of chickens seem to be living an idyllic life in the shadow of a nuclear power plant, because they are birdbrains and have no concept of the possible danger. Then one day something goes wrong, and the farm is showered with radioactive fallout. The effects are the ridiculous extremes we saw in 1950s B-movies, like immediate mutant growth and unexplainable super powers. The chickens are still birdbrains, but they have an idea of how to stop the  nuclear plant from contaminating their environment. 

Atomic Chicken is a student film from the French art school Ecole des Nouvelles, specifically the 2023 graduation film for animation students. I like the animated fabric textures, but was a little surprised at one point. "Hey, we can see this chicken's cloaca!" There's a reason for that, since a hen's main talent is laying eggs, and that's important to the story, although what they do with that talent is surprising. (via Kuriositas)
