I agree, and I think I said it here earlier -- I am coming to think that CHICKENS COME HOME may be L&H's best short (it's a bit longer than most, I think it's a three-reeler).

And yes, I have seen the Spanish verison, and it's just amazing with those added scenes with the Regurgitating Man and the Magician. And did you notice the musicians in the background playing "live" versions of the endearing Leroy Shield soundtrack music during these scenes? Just wonderful.
CHICKENS is a hoot, and was always one of my favorites, but in retrospect I find it a little more "conventional" than shorts which feature their best physical humor at it's peak. The pencil-sharpener always kills me just because it's so silly and out of left-field.
