I Raised A Chicken

This video is safe for most children but promotes materialism through extravagant spending on a chicken. The positive side is its creative, lighthearted storytelling about raising a pet, which can spark curiosity about animal care. However, the focus on luxury items like a sushi dinner, tuxedo, and billboard may encourage materialistic values.
