To Buy It

To Purchase from Amazon Year Released 1937 Dancers Animated hens Shira's Feedback It's very silly. The depiction of dance isn't very Oriental, but it's entertaining.

My copy of Chicken a la King appears on a DVD compilation of vintage animations titled Felix the Cat & Friends: Neptune Nonsense. A rooster presiding over his harem of hens wears a turban and harem pants. The hens too are clad in harem pants pulled up over their tails and dance for him. Their dance isn't very Oriental - they parade about and do high kicks. I like it anyway because it makes me laugh.
