I watched this film for two reasons,
1. Because I had heard mostly good things about it.
2. Because my nieces had it for Christmas, this meant it was easy accessible and if I didn’t like it I hadn’t wasted any money on hiring it etc
I was very open-minded, as although I liked Wallace and Grommet, I never used to go out of my way to watch it, and as you read on you will find that I was pleasantly surprised.
The main characters (chickens) are Ginger and Rocky. Ginger is aware of the fact that when a chicken slacks off on the old egg laying they end up on the kitchen table as supper for the Tweedy's.(The chicken farm owners)
Ginger attempts escape many times but Mr Tweedy is on to her plan and keeps a vigilant eye on the chickens and every time she gets caught and put into “solitary confinement” which is the coal shed.
Gingers prayers are answered when Rocky literally drops in along with a poster showing Rocky soaring through the air, obviously she thinks her prayers are answered and begins hatching a new plan for escape, which is now more urgent as the Tweedy’s have now got a pie making machine.
That’s all I am going to say, as I don’t want to give too much away if you haven’t watched it.
The best thing about this film is that it appeals to all ages, my nieces are 7 and 11, my Mom is 50 (she will kill for me for telling you that!), I’m 22 and my son is 2 and we all really enjoyed this film and if that’s not a varied age range I don’t know what is!
I thoroughly recommend that, if you haven’t already watched this film then, you put it on your must see list of films. There are numerous hilarious one-liners and is a pleasure to watch. There is never a dull moment and this is film in particular is easy to watch which makes it perfect for children and those of us who are big kids at heart.
