I loved this movie. Chickens have so much personality and every time I watch this movie I am reminded of my own chickens. the kids love it - the older and the younger ones. It is a true feel good movie that is suitable for the entire family

Aardman Animation's Chicken Run is a wonderful story, that can be enjoyed by a diverse audience, and on many levels. As always, the stop-time animation of Aardman conveys a real sense of character and feeling. The world is vivid, and the move to model the chicken run on that of a concentration camp was an apt decision. There film has, of course, a strong message about freedom, for all living beings, and that the first way to escape an oppressive situation is to first learn how to move beyond the fences in our own minds.

If you like Wallace and grommit you'll LOVE this movie. I thought it was really clever and having done claymation myself I can appreciate how painstaking the process is. So often now animation is computer generated (as is Aardman's new movie) so enjoy this little piece of, what will now become, history. highly recommended.

Chicken Run is a comedy escape drama with a touch of passion set on a sinister Yorkshire chicken farm in 1950's England. The film follows the turbulent romance between two farmyard chickens, Rocky and Ginger, who yearn for freedom and plan a daring 'prisoner of war' style escape.
