A delirious fable about every creature's need for espace.
Finally, there's a female action hero for the summer of 2000, and she's a . . . chicken. But a chicken to believe in.
Imbued with infectious pluck. It's also a lucid, competent, titanically entertaining movie loaded with workable gags.
Not only funny and wicked, clever and visually inventive, but . . . kind and sweet. Tender and touching.
A combination of "Barnyard Follies" and "Schindler's List."
This Movie. Such A Classic. Chicken Run Is Easily The Best Dreamworks & Aardman Movie Ever Made. Also, Mr. Tweedy Murders His Own Wife At The End.

This has absolutely loads of humor and a lot of real emotion. At no point are you ever in doubt over what's going to happen, but are no point do you care. Because you're enjoying it so much.

Mrs. Tweedy's farm produces eggs, and the greedy landlord demands her chickens a good share of the day's production, or they end up in the pot. Therefore, the chickens face decided to organize and escape. Ginger is one of the ringleaders, already has many punishments for her rebellion, and the countless failed escape attempts have demoralized the whole hen house. When they all began to settle for their fate, there arises Rocky, an American **** that seems to be able to fly and that breathes new life into the prisoners' dreams of freedom.
It's decidedly a remarkable film in every respect. Reminds me of the movie "The Great Escape". Personally, I think the creators were inspired a lot in this film to idealize the whole plot. The scenarios are quite detailed and the soundtrack is very good. Technically, stop-motion animation (it's an Aardman Studios movie, and stop-motion is almost a studio tradition) is very good. It's not as good as in newer movies, where other materials were used, but it's positively realistic.

I remember this being one of the animations I always used to watch over and over as a kid. Wallace and Gromit style with witty humor and hilarious actions these chickens are supported by fantastic voice acting and cute, and memorable characters. Even now I still love to watch this film now and then. A

Just like most other Aardman Animation movies, Chickun Run has no shortage of charm, wit or amazing animation, but as usual, the plot is a little too lackluster and a little too repetitive
