The film follows Chicken and his person, Mr. Birke, as Chicken overeats at the school lunchroom and has to go to the vet to find out what's wrong.
All of the characters are puppets, and quite cute ones at that, especially the main characters, Chicken and Mr. Birke. The backgrounds - Mr. Birke's home, the school lunchroom, and the vet's office - perfectly suit the story and are well illustrated. The voice actors, Mia McGlinn and Birke Raymond Duncan (who is also the director) give great performances. The topic, of overeating, is one that resonates well for young kids who sometimes get carried away until their tummy hurts.
The film's message about not overeating is age appropriate and suitable.
I give Chicken, The Lunchroom and Mr. Birke 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 8. By Julies S., KIDS FIRST!
