Facing imminent death while laying eggs at Tweedy's English farm, a group of chickens led by the determined Ginger (Julia Sawahla, BBC-TV's ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS) plan to escape...
more...their prisonlike coop. The situation goes from bad to worse when the sinister Mrs. Tweedy (Miranda Richardson) decides to stop selling eggs and use the hens as the main ingredient in chicken pot pies. However, some hope literally falls from the sky in the form of Rocky (Mel Gibson), an American rooster who promises to teach the chickens how to fly. As the hens begin their struggle to get airborne, the monstrous pie-making machine arrives, giving the chickens precious little time to make their great escape.
Aardman Studios' first full-length feature film is a stunning showcase of stop-motion animation. Utilizing the unique Plasticine designs of the acclaimed WALLACE & GROMIT and CREATURE COMFORT shorts, CHICKEN RUN features vibrant visuals and colorful characters that are immediately endearing. (The naive and constantly knitting Babs, voiced by Jane Horrocks, is particularly hilarious.) With its clever writing, witty film references, and pitch-perfect combination of comedy, drama, and romance, CHICKEN RUN is one of those rare movies that genuinely appeals to viewers of every age.

Is chicken run really what its made out to be?
Totally!
Imagine being a chicken, kept in the chicken run, with ambitions to fly free and be happy, with no quotas to keep. Then one day a flying cock falls in. Soon the lead girly chicken falls for the flying cock, and enlists him in their never ending quest to find greener grass. Throw in humour, comedy, sadness, and some adorable rats, and what you have is chicken run.

This film is enjoyable by adults and kids alike. Well made, fun, lots of happy and sad moments. Nick Park is going to go further than he could have imagined since his morph days.

Go out for the day with the family, and make sure you catch a showing of this if you havent already.
