Movie Review: Chickenhare And The Hamster Of Darkness (2022)

Plot: Young Chickenhare is the adopted son of King Peter, a famous adventurer. Part chicken and part hare, he has a really tough time growing up and disguises himself as a hare to avoid the mockeries of his peers. When the day of the Royal Adventurer Society trials comes, Chickenhare, hampered by his disguise, fails miserably. But he is determined to grab a second chance and find the Scepter of the Hamster of Darkness, before his evil Uncle Lapin. The Scepter will give immense power to its holder. If Lapin gets hold of it, he will be unstoppable. Accompanied by his faithful servant Abe, a sarcastic turtle, and Meg, a martial arts expert skunk, he sets of on an epic and initiatory quest.

Review: It’s a world where hares are royalty and skunks are adventurers. But even in such a crazy world, life can be tough when you’re some sort of a feathery hybrid between a hare and a chicken. Every day is especially heartbreaking when you yearn to be an esteemed adventurer, but the whole city just regards you as a joke.

There aren’t real surprises with the tale too. But more than making up for these is how the whole show is such an amazing labor of love. One that is so rich with details, both visually and character-wise, that one just can’t resist being swept up in euphoria.

It’s a topsy-turvy, hilarious world brought to life by top-notch animation. One that is such a joy to lose myself in.
