While almost all the animators in North America seemed to be working for the war effort making propaganda and educational films to help, somehow Norman McLaren found time to make this film that has absolutely nothing to do with WWII or even entertainment, per se. Instead, this is an experimental little film about a chicken--a chicken this dances and moves in time to the song "Turkey in the Straw". The drawings are simple but effective and I can respect the effort that went into it. But it wasn't meant an anything other than an experiment--and the film even says this at the beginning.
Oh, and speaking of the beginning, I found that odd. The words "The National Film Board" (who sponsored the film) appear in about a half dozen languages--including German and Italian. Considering Canada was at war with these countries, it is a bit surprising they were included and non-combatant languages (such as Spanish or Portuguese) were not used. This is NOT a criticism--just an observation.
As far as rating it goes, I'll give it a 5. I can respect the experiment but there really isn't much about this that you must see.
