Ok, I'm here to tell you about my next short "Chicken Man". It is a pretty silly and kinda stupid plot but it should be funny. I plan to make more after this also.
Here's the plot:
It is basically a spoof off of super heros. Like the chicken (who is a Rooster,therfore male but he is Chicken Man) eats a radioactive seed (Spoof off Spider man and the radioactive spider) from the planet Kraipton which exploded (Superman, Krypton) and becomes Chicken man and defends the earth from evil.
It's a bit stupid and silly really but I have the storyboards and module sheets for the main chracters done and most of the first scene animated (but it not all been tested yet on a line tester).
Wish me luck on this!
Spoooze!
P.S.
No one has ever done this before right? I think this is an original idea of mine... Please correct me if I'm wrong.
My friend, I hate to tell you but chicken man was a syndicated radio show by a Chicago area DJ circa the early seventies (maybe 60s). As funny as heck. The actual scripts could make for some animation to along with it a al Roger Ramjet or Bullwnkle imo. I even remember an LP.
FOund the link and history. The fella's name is Dick Orkin:

I also found some one else who had an ascii version. ANd Bakshi's Terrytoon's Amazing Heroes had a hero named Cuckoo. And don't forget Jay Ward's Super chicken. I also very briefly worked on a chicken hero concept at a company years ago.
You can certainly have a chicken hero. Probably don't call him chicken man.
Ok, thanks for the info! I'm abandoning the project all together and making a new short with the previous's beginnig actually until I get abetter animation program. If I ever have a chicken superhero again thing I won't call him Chicken Man.
Thank you
Spoooze!
