The visually striking and emotionally impactful 2D animated feature Chicken for Linda! — which has won prestigious honors such as the Annecy Cristal (2023) and César Award (2024) — is now available for streaming on The Animation Showcase platform for members of the motion picture industry. Along with the highly acclaimed movie (97% on Rotten Tomatoes), viewers can explore Linda’s journey with exclusive behind-the-scenes content.

Directed by Chiara Malta (Simple Women) and Sébastien Laudenbach (The Girl without Hands), and produced by Marc Irmer, Emmanuel-Alain Raynal, and Pierre Baussaron, Chicken for Linda! tells the story of Linda and her mother Paulette as they try to recreate her late father’s chicken-with-peppers recipe amidst a mass strike. This film, produced by French studios Dolce Vita Films and Miyu Productions, premiered in North American theaters earlier this year through GKIDS.

Chicken for Linda! has received recognition from various prestigious awards and film festivals. It premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival in the ACID selection and later won the Cristal for Best Feature and the Gan Foundation Award for Distribution at the Annecy Festival. In the U.S., it premiered at the Animation Is Film festival in October 2023, where it received both the Audience and Jury Awards. The film has also been honored with awards such as the César Award for Best Animated Film and the Lumière Award for Best Animated Film.

The Animation Showcase streaming platform, exclusively available for the film industry, offers a selection of animated shorts and feature films from filmmakers worldwide, allowing members of the animation and motion pictures community to discover or revisit films for a limited time.
