In their short animation video entitled 'Chicken or the Egg,' students Christine Kim and Elaine Wu from Ringling College of Art and Design portray a pig who has to choose between his two loves, a chicken or eggs.
Sitting at a diner enjoying his daily egg-filled breakfast, the pig falls madly in love with a chicken. Their relationship flourishes and suddenly, the pig is faced with the difficult decision of choosing between the woman of his dreams or his favorite food, a dilemma that challenges his moral ethics as well as his will power.
As we watch the debate over chicken or eggs, this video imparts important lessons about self-indulgence and the consideration of other people's feelings that we sometimes overlook.
