Otra película de huevos y un pollo (Spanish for Another Movie about Eggs and a Chick) is a 2009 Mexican animated adventure comedy film produced by a Mexican animation studio Huevocartoon Producciones, and is the sequel to Una Película de Huevos, as part of the Huevos film series.

The film was released in Mexico on 20 March 2009, which was a major commercial success, grossing a total of $113.9 million pesos (US$6.1 million).^[3]

Along with its predecessor, this film was released direct-to-video as a "2-Pack" in the United States.

In a ghost town inhabited by a shaman wizard, his enchanted stone egg, the sorcerer Huevo Brujo, makes final preparations for a "Power Spell." However, he learns that one of the most crucial ingredients is missing: a chicken's heart.

In the Big Chicken Farms, Toto, now a chick, continues to spend time with his egg and food friends, but finds himself struggling to adjust to life as a chicken, finding food like worms repulsive. Later that night, he is kidnapped by buzzard eggs, leading him to the desert where Huevo Brujo resides. Tocino, witnessing this, runs off and wordlessly informs Toto's other friends at the fair. After stealing an egg truck the next morning, Toto's friends head out to rescue Toto.

In the ghost town, Toto meets face to face with Huevo Brujo, who begins to make his recipe. Before Huevo Brujo can take Toto's heart, a customer enters the shaman's shop and forces the eggs into hiding with Toto. Toto breaks free and charges the customer, causing them to flee. The shaman puts Toto out into the street, freeing him of Huevo Brujo but leaving him to fend for himself in the desert where he eventually collapses from exhaustion. Meanwhile, Huevo Brujo amasses an army of scorpion eggs to assist the buzzard eggs in hunting for Toto.

Upon arriving at the ghost town, Toto' friends are attacked by the scorpion eggs, who are turned away by an earth egg named Roe Boat who tells the scorpion eggs she has not seen Toto. Using Tocino for surveillance, the group spots Toto with the scorpion eggs approaching him. The group reaches Toto in time and manage to drive the scorpion eggs away, but one manages to sting Willy and break his shell, causing him to begin rotting and dying. Old Roe suggests consulting the wise Old Hawk Egg, whom Toto claims to have seen in a vision while lost in the desert, and together, Toto and Tocino leave to find him.

That night, the Egg-Wizard is informed of the failed attempts at retrieving Toto and creates a new army of zombified broken shells. Meanwhile, Toto and Tocino find the scorpion eggs frozen in ice near where Toto had his vision, and they decide to free them. After the scorpion egg's leader allows them to pass out of respect, Toto and Tocino are snatched by a hawk and taken to the Old Hawk Egg's lair. There, the Old Hawk Egg helps guide Toto into realizing the medicinal plants that grow there and the lotion the Old Hawk Eggs makes from them will heal Willy, and the two return to the ghost town with the ingredients in tow.

At dawn, one of Huevo Brujo's hencheggs threatens Roe Boat to give Toto to them at noon or be killed. The eggs refuse and prepare for battle. Huevo Brujo sends out the first wave of zombie eggs, which nearly overpower Toto and the others before the scorpion eggs return and take the zombie eggs out as a favor to Toto and Tocino for saving them. Huevo Brujo's hencheggs then attack with remote-controlled Matchbox trucks, but Coco and Bacon crash them.

Huevo Brujo arrives and begins using his magic to turn Toto's friends into sweets, though Tocino manages to escape. Toto faces Huevo Brujo alone and is about to be killed until Tocino and Willy, who is cured of his rotting, attach Huevo Brujo's chain to a rocket, where it flies up and explodes. The story ends with Toto returning to his farm and his mother and having a big party with all his friends.

In a mid-credits scene, Huevo Brujo falls on the floor and is eaten by the opossum Cuache, with Tlacua warning him that using the bathroom will hurt.

Another movie about eggs and a chicken far surpasses the first part, being much more ambitious in every way.

To begin with, it has very complex action scenes that required a good combination of 2D and 3D animation. On the other hand, not only do Toto, Willy and Tocino return to the screen, but the appearances of Confi, Huevay II, Bibi, Coco and Iguano also increase. Consequently, there were constantly more than 4 characters on screen, unlike the last film in which only the 3 protagonists were seen.

Additionally, for the Witch-Egg scenes they performed a series of techniques that involved 3D computer animation, making the scenes more difficult. The film also has 10 more animated minutes than the first part. All these elements make the film very complicated to put together, requiring more time and budget.

As in the first film, the comedy of the film is based on black humor and recklessness , the characters themselves mention this when, in certain phrases, they say "no recklessness." This type of humor causes children's laughter to be null and void, with a hidden mode that is difficult for minors to understand. It should be added the fact that, since in this sequel the character of Toto is a chicken, this exploits the double meaning more than in the previous film, making new jokes of both "egg" and "chicken".

This makes this sequel have a tone of playfulness and comedy greater than that of the previous film, as requested by fans of Huevocartoon, who generated several controversies in the first film due to its lack of playfulness humor and "excess childishness." " constantly. With the tone of double meaning raised to a higher level of nonsense, the film was considered by several of its fans a success, both as a superior film to the first, and at times, considered a film that turns out to outshine the first both. for its excellent animation as well as for its improved humor. However, the film was classified as suitable for all audiences.

The film was released in Mexico on 20 March 2009. While the film, along with its predecessor, was released on DVD in the United States as a "2-Pack", neither film were released in any major format in the country due to their "racist" and "controversial" nature, failing to match the industry's humor code and have no English subtitles or dubs.^[4]

A reviewer of Cine Premiere has rated the film 3 stars out of 5, praising the animation and story balance while criticizing its adult content.^[5]

A third film, called Un gallo con muchos huevos (Spanish for A Rooster With Many Eggs') was released on 20 August 2015 in Mexico, and the United States on 4 September 2015.^[6] It was followed by Un rescate de huevitos released in August 2021.^[7][8]
