A Star is Hatched
While Attending the Illinois Institute of Art- Schaumburg in 2008, animation student Michael Cook was a part of a student group on campus called Tough Luck Studios. During this time, the group was looking for a mascot to use for school functions and promos. it was during this time that Cook was re-introduced to the antics of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, thanks to a recently released DVD collection.
Wanting to recreate the rubber hose look-and-feel of animation, Cook decided to create a character that would be a re-embodiment of that long ago era. The result was a plump little chicken. Why a Chicken? There weren’t that many…
The Resulting year produced the very first animated short starring this new character called “Wake Up Call” in March 2009. It was later uploaded onto YouTube on July 28, 2009…to little fanfare.
Cook decided afterwards to go back to these new characters, and give them color, voices and a whole new world to explore. a few years later in 2012, their second short, “chicken Fright” was released in late October.
