For Pride Month 2025, LGBTQ+ anti-abuse charity Galop asked if we could create an immersive, 360º film to play at the Outernet: a five-screen location outside of Tottenham Court Road station in London.
In the first few months of 2025, Chicken Fruit attended five animation festivals with our short film Loneliness & Laundry.
We at Chicken Fruit were delighted to be able to make an animation showcasing some of the incredible ways Mermaids help to provide support, engagement and advocacy to the trans community.
That short film we’ve mentioned in every New Year’s post since 2021? Completed it mate.
Here’s the thing about signing a Very Important document saying that you won’t talk about something: you can’t really talk about it, even in yearly wrap-up posts. Surely there should be some kind of “okay but you can brag about it a little bit on your blog” clause?
It feels like we did nothing in 2022, but also simultaneously like we did loads. Either way, we’re going into the New Year excited about where we are and where 2023 might take us.
Thus the concept of our posh little piggy was born: an uptight gent with an excellent sense of smell and some niche personal interests.
The passage of time in a pandemic is so weird. Entire months feel like they slip by in a weekend, but when we think about things we did at the start of 2021, it feels like they happened years ago.
The first and most important step in the creative process was obviously to get the Christmas box down (in mid-October) and decorate the studio. Just to get in the mood, you know.
Chicken Fruit feel incredibly privileged to join the ranks of studios such as Aardman and Cartoon Saloon in working with Greenpeace to raise awareness of an important environmental issue.
As a studio, we’re still a long way off being able to change the world with every animation we do. But, until we get there, we’re doing our best to do what we can to make a difference.
Chicken Fruit were commissioned by a friend (a different friend to last time! we have two!!) to make a film for her parents, documenting her move from hot, swampy Florida to cooler, greener Oregon.
We can officially cross off the third goal from our 2021 Goals list!! Project Studio Renovatio is complete!!
