The New York studio’s debut project, which mixes animation and live-action, follows an up-and-coming emo band consisting of five distinct avian characters.
Chicken Wing Productions, a new animation studio based in New York, has announced the launch of its debut project, Flock & Roll.
Flock & Roll follows the journey of “Fight or Flight,” an up-and-coming emo band consisting of five distinct avian characters: Whiplash Woodpecker, the driven drummer and founder; Rockin Robin, the charismatic lead guitarist and frontman; Punk Penguin, the passionate vocalist; Harmony Hummingbird, the melodious keyboardist; and Funky Falcon, the groovy bassist. Hailing from the fictional city of Wingchester, IL, these feathered friends face a series of trials as they strive to make their mark on the early 2010s emo scene.
Created by Sam Fesmire, whose diverse background as an actor, animator, and musician has uniquely shaped his creative vision, Flock & Roll will fuse gritty live-action footage with “punchy, stylized animation to vividly bring to life the adventures and struggles of the band.” This blend will highlight the contrast between the bird musicians' fantastical world and the real-life challenges they face.
“We are thrilled to introduce Flock & Roll to the world,” said Fesmire. “This project is a true labor of love, blending my passions for animation and music to create something that is both entertaining and
thought-provoking. We believe that Flock & Roll will not only entertain but also resonate with audiences on a deeper level through its exploration of friendship and resilience.”
Chicken Wing Productions will develop the series in 2025, with the first season “promising to deliver a mix of high-energy performances, heartfelt moments, and plenty of feathered fun.”
