‘Chicken Run’
Soon to get a sequel from Netflix, Aardman Animations’ classic Chicken Run is still a delight, years later. The stop-motion animated flick is a prison escape film set on a chicken farm, as a group of anthropomorphic chickens led by the driven Ginger (Julia Swalha) come up with more and more elaborate ways of trying to flee from the villainous Mrs. Tweedy (Miranda Richardson). Enter a seemingly flying rooster named Rocky, voiced by somebody, not sure who, doesn’t matter, don’t worry about it, and suddenly the chickens may have an escape plan in place… That is until Mrs. Tweedy buys a machine to make them into chicken pies. Endlessly inventive, hilarious, and romantic, chicken run, don’t chicken walk to revisit this movie.
