Huevos: Little Rooster’s Egg-Cellent Adventure, directed by Gabriel Riva Palaico Alatriste, is available in Spanish and English as A Rooster With Many Eggs.  The animated movie isn’t a compelling story, but it’s not really bad either.  The characters are lovable with lots of slapstick humor.  The story takes a unique approach, being lively, entertaining, and mildly titillating, without taking itself too seriously, and a lot of fun with innuendos and double-entendres.

The movie follows an apprehensive little rooster named Toto, voiced by Bruno Bichir. He is challenged to confront and handle an evil rancher. He threatens to purchase and tear down Toto’s family farm. The farm has been in the family for generations. Toto’s challenge is to fight Bankivoide, a mammoth rooster voiced by Sergio Sendel. The cockfight will end with the winner-take-all stakes. Feeling the pressure of such an unconquerable task, Toto cannot face the ordeal alone, so he asks his pals for help. Strangely, his pals are a frog, muchos huevos and a strip of bacon. Can they conquer Banki and keep his family’s farm?

As mentioned earlier, the movie is filled with innuendos and, to some extent, racy humor compared to a customary animated feature. Easily, the Spanish jokes are lost in translation, since they are primarily written for a Mexican audience.  As an English speaking viewer, I still found a genuine amount of jokes that hit my funny bone. The characters are over-the-top and ludicrous, but their charm is their saving grace. Such as the favorably intended frog, he earns many laughs.
