Set in the south of France, we follow the determined young chicken Carmella on her journey of self discovery, new friends and adventure.

Taking inspiration from Impressionist paintings, Le Petite Poulet’s design is a quirky take on a farmyard that reimagines human scenery for animals. Pigs trade their trough for a tiki bar, ducklings are waddling  around in a paddling pool, and the chicken coop is now a refined mid-century modern egg-shaped barn!

Costumes

Carmella constantly bucks the expectations placed on her she wears trainers to go exploring, and shorts that give her a distinctive gender-neutral look; a move away from the other chicks.
