Chicken for Linda! is a candy-colored French animated feature about a mother's attempt to prepare a chicken dinner for her little girl. It's a film about children and maybe for children, but I wouldn't show it to an averagely inquisitive child unless I was prepared to answer questions about the death of a parent, the stress of a single parent, corporal punishment, family quarrels, organized labor strikes, chicken theft, police enforcement of the law, and the killing of animals for food. (I've probably missed a few. It's been a while since I was a child or had one.) Much of the often frenetic, if colorful, action centers on the attempts to kill the stolen chicken, which is not going to sit well in some households. The whole plot is initiated when the mother, Paulette, slaps Linda for something she didn't do. (The fat purple cat did it.) To make it up to her, the guilt-ridden Paulette promises to make Linda a dinner of chicken with peppers, which Linda recalls as the favorite dish of her father, who died when she was very little. Paulette's efforts to find a chicken are thwarted by a strike that has closed all the markets, so she drives out to the country to find one there. Finding only a sulky teenager at the farm, in desperation Paulette steals one, only to have the cops called on her. And matters get worse when the chicken escapes. Each character has their own bright color, so it's easy to keep track of them once the action gets complex. There are also some interpolated song sequences with the flavor of French pop music. It's an enjoyably lively film unless you really want to examine its subtext, so maybe try not to.

67. Chicken for Linda! (Chiara Malta & Sébastien Laudenbach, 2024)

Yes, it's gorgeous, but the screenplay's a mess. We're meant to think of Linda as precocious and charming when really she's a brat who is rude as hell and never learns her lesson. Her poor aunt! Rating: 7.4/10

REVIEW | "Chicken for Linda!" | B3crew.com

Sometimes you need a little madness to recognize the important things in life. Chicken for Linda! proves this in spades.

[m1ssunderstanding]

nothing intelligent or helpful to say about it really but we had SUCH a good time at One Hand Clapping. Everyone should go if they've got the chance.

Two new dark pets members

Mike and Linda

Mike is the shadow bunny who's always been tortured by his previous owner who's a magician and which ends up almost eaten by the magician's dog which ended up bitten his ear off.. he might have almost died by them, until jinx made a deal to join the dark pets which made him to have the magic powers just like the magician but more powerful...

Linda the smiling chicken loves to be happy and was blinded by it, her chicken friends and humans called her a smiling freak, it made her angry in the inside but it only shows her smiling all day.. that's when Zuzu help out by making a deal with her to join the dark pets to force her victims to smile non stop until they past out and also mind control them too!
