Advantages: It has comedy, action, romance and is very original. Disadvantages: You will have to wait along time for a sequal or anything like it. BEcause it takes a long time to make.

Advantages: Easy story - seen it all before! Disadvantages: No big breasted dame
...laugh and they were making Chicken Pie!
However, top marks for the film due to the theme throughout - The Great Escape! I almost leapt out of my cimema seat with joy as Rocky the Rooster made the jump with a tricycle that Steve McQueen never quite could, no matter how many reruns you watch.
Quite simply a great film with a pi** take theme. A joy to watch. ...

Horrible! Review ofChicken Run (Animated) (Wide Screen)by
jglassey
Advantages: Nothing Disadvantages: Everything
...last, it'd have to be Chicken Run. I don't see what the big deal is. When I was watching it I nearly screamed out in boredom and helplesness! It made my jaws ache, my legs hurt and my head scream and pount in utter tormented agony of having to watch such a lame movie that everyone else seemed to think was smashing. It certainly wasn't smashing! It was gosh darn awful! ...

Advantages: Great animation Disadvantages: No humans!
I really went into this movie thinking the animation would be great but the story would be to childish. Well i was half right, the animation was amazing, totally crisp and smooth, and the story was wonderful. The Great Chicked Escape is what this movie could of been called. I was surprised how funny it was. I think the expressions on the faces of the chickens were just priceless. This is just a great movie for a person of any age to go see, even if ...

Chicken Run Review ofChicken Run (Animated) (Wide Screen)by
gypsywildcat
Advantages: a good film worth seeing Disadvantages: does not appeal to everyone's sense of humour
i went to see chicken run after seeing advertisements and reviews about it, i found it to be a funny film with brilliant animation and a good storyline, not quite the rip off of the great escape that some reviews have described it as, though some parts appear very similar. though certified as a 'U' and young children would probably enjoy it, some of the humour is quite adult orientated (but there is nothing so bad that children should not see the ...

Advantages: great animation, enjoyable Disadvantages: maybe a bit slow for younger kids
Chicken Run is a film by Oscar winning Nick Park, the Bristol-based man behind Aardman Animations, the creators of Wallace & Gromit & the Creature Comforts films. Chicken Run is about some (guess what !) chickens trying to escape from their cruel owner, who first kills them if they fail to produce enough eggs, then buys a machine to turn them all into chicken pies ! If I wasn't already a vegetarian, I might have been convinced to become one, after ...

Advantages: Funny and moving - you CARE for the chickens Disadvantages: Just not long enough
Upon seeing "Chicken Run" while I was on a trip to sunny Great Yarmouth, I was surrounded by noisey little five year-olds. But this didn't matter, I laughed myself silly all the way through the film.
It took a long time to make, and I think it was worth it, not only for the animation as I believe it did have a really good script as well. From the opening shot to the elaborate final sequence, it was exactly what I had expected - I had fun, I laughed, ...

Family fun. Review ofChicken Run (Animated) (Wide Screen)by
Chaotic1
Advantages: geared towards all audiences Disadvantages: movie tickets are so damn expensive
Chicken Run is a new claymation film from the creator of the Wallace and Grommit cartoons. It is about a group of chickens who want to escape from the farm before they are made into chicken pies. That's all I'm telling you! You have to see this movie. Even if you think it would look strange for a thrity year old single man to ask for "one ticket for Chicken Run" you have to see it! The film offers funny moments that adults and children will enjoy ...

Eggsquisite! Review ofChicken Run (Animated) (Wide Screen)by
markhiley
Advantages: Brilliant film, great animation Disadvantages: None
As a Wallace and Gromit fan, it was my duty to go along to the cinema and watch this new feature length product of Nick Park's
animative genius. I was not at all disappointed. I was laughing from the first pain stakingly detailed frame onwards. It would have been acceptable for such a well animated film of such duration to have a less than gripping plot- though, whilst not exactly riviting, the simple story line, based on a whole farm of chickens ...

Bit disappointed Review ofChicken Run (Animated) (Wide Screen)by
corman
Advantages: funny, easy to watch Disadvantages: too much hype
Having watched all the hype about the film and the fact it's from the makers of Wallace and Grommit, I couldn't wait to see the film. I was intrigued by the fact that Mel Gibson and Julia Sawahla were providing the voices for the central characters of the film as well.
The plot revolves around a group of 'captive' chickens devising plans to escape from the evil farmer and his wife before they get the chop when they can't produce eggs any more.
The ...

Superb Review ofChicken Run (Animated) (Wide Screen)by
vera
Advantages: Loveable characters Disadvantages: Can't think of any
...often, and I only watched Chicken Run because I had nothing better to do that evening and a few people from work were going, but I loved it. The character's are superb, particulaly Ginger, the lead hen, who far and away the only one with any sense at all. Her relationship with the the flying chicken is also great, a good love story to go with the great eggscape (sorry for the pun). The film has convinced me to go out and watch the Wallace and Grommit ...

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 ...
