As the only hen that can't lay eggs, Turu becomes a laughingstock among the rest of the chickens. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she joins the circus, becomes a star and faces off with the evil Armando Tramas.

Guardian

Most of the nice, more-central-to-the-plot characters are very bland, while Turuleca herself is an emphatically hideous creation.

Rated: 2/5

... It seems the objective here is to rush through a series of colorful images interspersed with a handful of eclectic songs placed with surgical precision and without justification. [Full review in Spanish]

... Since the film is geared towards young children -no multiverses here- if they're at the farm, they're at the farm, then they go to the circus and the "big city" so you won't have to deal with time jumps that complicate things. [Full review in Spanish]

Common Sense Media

This animated adventure features a singing chicken that's not only enough to save the movie's struggling circus but also has plenty of appeal for kids.

I’ve only just heard about this movie while scrolling through Prime, and while there are a lot of elements I’ve already seen from other movies, I loved the story and the music.

Pretty standard plot with standard greedy villain trope. Plus the memory loss is cliché at this point. But standard doesn't mean bad. Just because you know where it's going doesn't mean it's bad. Every movie doesn't need a twist. Lastly the pacing can be an issue. But the animation is good, not great. The characters are fun to watch. Overall, it's a cute story and I think little-little kids will love it.

It's a good movie if you want to turn of your brain for a hour. Animation isn't the best, but I wouldn't be to harsh on it as it's a small animation studio. If you have kids it's a great movie for them to watch. Music isn't its strongest side, since the writer, singer and composer in the movie is a retired musician I wouldn't complain that much I give this movie 7/10
