Only in a Minecraft screening could a chicken steal the show—talk about method acting But seriously, let’s save the mob spawns for the game and not the theater seats.

Gotta love when real-life chaos outshines the movie itself—though maybe next time let's keep the farm animals at home. Still, this is peak Minecraft energy, blurring the lines between game antics and IRL shenanigans.
