A Morning Stroll by Grant Orchard

A Morning Stroll is about three New Yorkers, each from a different generation, and their reactions to seeing a chicken while walking. The first one, who is from 1959, just stands there, and eventually walks away. The second one, from 2009, tries to take a video on his smartphone, but gets distracted. The last one, who is a zombie from 2059, tries to eat the chicken but eventually dies.
This one was a bit less serious than the others. I really liked how the animation style slowly progressed and became more advanced as it went on. This short was probably my favorite because it was a lot more creative than the others. All of the other shorts were trying to be meaningful and inspirational, while A Morning Stroll was just fun and cheerful. The music, which was pretty joyful and cheery, helped raise the mood and make the video lighter. I'm giving this video 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. I would've been 5, but there was no really plot in it, it was merely for entertainment.
