Just saw this classic UPA short on YouTube. It concerns a little boy who turns into a chicken when he doesn't get what he wants from his parents. In this one, he wants a rocket ship. His father gets a toy one. "I want a REAL one!", Christopher exclaims. The father sees an ad for a real one in the paper. He gets it but it turns out (as evident when the boy comes outside and sees it fall apart) to be used. "I wand a NEW one!", comes the reply. Christopher keeps turning into a chicken every time he gets disappointed. During all this, the dad's officemate tries to win a bet with his boss about this unbelievable event. While the boss does see the boy and the chicken, he never sees the transformation so the officemate loses his pay for a year. All this is narrated by an illustrator to a dog that results in a surprise ending that I won't ruin here. Well worth seeing cartoon directed by Robert Cannon with Bill Melendez as one of the animators. Many other UPA classics like Gerald McBoing Boing and The Tell Tale Heart are also available for viewing on YouTube so to anyone with a love of all things animated, I highly recommend you seek them out there.
