Egg and Bomb

Egg and Bomb centers on a father and son who run a traveling act built around a troupe of performing chickens. The birds get paid more for their flavor than their feats, and the family treats show business like a strange family business. When Theo Theodolite, a sly meat purveyor, offers to buy into a fried chicken venture, the Waghorns are wary of selling their livelihood. Wilga, Theo's daughter, sees something else in Henry, the young trainer who keeps the birds sharp, and a tentative spark grows between them. An unexpected accident involving Henry Senior unsettles the clan and opens up a string of questions about trust, technique, and what the birds are really worth. Their cackles cut the chaos.

Directed by George Port, Egg and Bomb is a 2005 animated comedy romance conceived by Michael Bennett. The film pairs zany bird antics with a warm family story and a wink at the old circus life. Port's style adds color.

The film's offbeat premise and pastel animation style place it among quirky mid 2000s animated features that aimed to charm family audiences with humor and heart rather than prestige, and there is little recognition and some critics.

The story examines loyalty, the pull between commerce and craft, and the idea that real value comes from training and trust rather than spectacle. The tone blends goofy humor with tender moments, and its brisk pacing with bright visuals aims to charm families everywhere across generations and picky movie nights.
