Chickenhare and the Secret of the Groundhog is a 2025 Belgian-French animated adventure comedy directed by Benjamin Mousquet, following a half-chicken, half-hare hero on a quest to find a mysterious groundhog with the power to reverse time — before others chasing the same ancient power can seize it.

What is Chickenhare and the Secret of the Groundhog about?

Chickenhare is the adopted son of King Peter, a celebrated adventurer — and his unusual mixed-species identity has never made fitting in easy. This time the stakes are larger than his own reputation: the survival of his species is in question. He sets out on an epic quest to find a mysterious groundhog said to hold the power to reverse time, hoping that turning back the clock can save his kind. The adventure takes a dangerous turn when his group discovers they are not the only ones searching for this ancient power. With his sardonic turtle companion Abe and the formidable skunk warrior Meg at his side, Chickenhare embarks on an escalating journey across wild terrain — learning along the way that identity, courage, and loyalty matter far more than a flawless pedigree.

Context & significance

Family animation from continental Europe carries a distinct charm that often resonates with diaspora households — lighter in tone than Hollywood blockbusters yet rich in wordplay and physical comedy that crosses language barriers effortlessly. For Persian-speaking families settled abroad, this film offers a shared viewing experience across generations: young children delight in the colorful creature characters while adults appreciate the underdog arc and the gentle humor about identity and belonging. The film is available with a full Persian dub, making it especially accessible for younger viewers who are more comfortable in Farsi, and it plays warmly at family movie nights without requiring any background knowledge of the earlier adventure.
