So, you thought A Minecraft Movie shenanigans and antics of the fans were over? Well, think again!
If social media is to be believed, a cinemagoer took along a living chicken to a screening of the film, causing a commotion in the theater. Discussing Film posted this on their official X page:
Fans post hilarious comments after someone brings a live chicken to A Minecraft Movie screening
A cinemagoer took a live, crowing chicken to watch A Mincraft Movie in a theatre, and fans were soon poking fun at the incident. A fan said this is what 4D experience in cinema truly means!
"They said 4D experience and MEANT IT," a fan said (via X/@_littlerobin_1)
A fan trolled the cinemagoer's antic, saying that if such a stunt was pulled off at a cinema where they were an employee, they would Immediately end the screening.
"If I saw this reaction as an employee I would just end the movie," a fan said (via X/@michael_jares)
A fan pointed out this was the reason for watching movies at home. (via X/@HackDotSlash)
A fan was concerned about the chicken, saying that the poor bird had unknowingly become a part of the chicken jockey meme of the A Minecraft Movie!
"The poor chicken being subjected to the meme now," a fan wrote (via X/@xwordz)
A fan sarcastically suggested that after this we can expect someone to bring a cow to a Star Wars movie screening! (via X/@ZafdaOne)
An X user was confused if this is what 'immersive cinema' means, or if this was just a bizarre marketing strategy for the film.
"Trend in immersive movie experiences or just a bizarre stunt?" an X user asked (via X/@EverPeak01)
Other X users LOLed at the cinemagoer's antic of bringing a live chicken at the movie screening, commenting that the bird became an emotional support for all the moviegoers during the screening! A user (X/@cxshbxnny) wrote:
"The chicken was the emotional support mob."
And finally, an X user noted that the antic proved that A Minecraft Movie and the game's following was huge!
"I underestimated the following that Minecraft has," an X user commented (via X/@Dboybruh)
Why are cinemagoers going gaga over the Chicken Jockey in A Minecraft Movie?
Well, it's because the Chicken Jockey is one of the most popular characters in the game! Kids especially have loved the Chicken Jockey scene featuring Jack Black in A Minecraft Movie, and it became famous in no time.
We get that the impact of the film is huge and that the film has a huge following, but please, for the love of God, be kind to animals! Also, respect theater employees because they're the ones who'd have to clean your mess later.
Remember, it's okay to have fun and do trends at the cinema, but please be responsible because people (and animals), could be affected by your action.
