Having been hopelessly repressed and facing eventual certain death at the chicken farm where they are held, Rocky the rooster and Ginger the chicken decide to rebel against the evil Mr. and Ms. Tweedy, the farm's owners. Rocky and Ginger lead their fellow chickens in a great escape from the murderous farmers and their farm of doom. Chicken Run boasts terrific perfomances, humor but also such a beautiful animation plus Ms. Tweedy was freaking creepy to say the least and i never thought i'd see and hear Mel Gibson in an animated movie but.. (A+)

For some reason this was my favorite movie when I was around 3-6. I was obsessed with this movie. After rewatching it I have no idea why. Its not a bad movie, I just don't know why I was so into it. At one point I tried putting the DVD into a CD player so that I could listen to the story. Plot - Its actually pretty good. A bit morbid, but its told very well. This story is drawn-out and probably doesn't need to be feature length. Still good though.Animation - Its pretty good. Not the greatest animation ever, but it looks great. It may be stop-motion but its pretty believable. The movement of these characters is well-done and enjoyable. Characters - The characters are all great. I think the farmer's wife was a serial killer, but she was great. The voice acting was good. Pretty much everything about this movie is well done and entertaining. Not great. Not good. Somewhere in between. Its a fun movie.

Chicken Run I have always enjoyed Claymation films and this movie is no exception. I appreciate the time and effort it took to make every scene of this movie. You must give the creators and artists credit for the love they must have had for this movie to be able to create this. One thing that I loved about this movie was how well sound was used. The sounds gave a very realistic feel to the film when in actuality it was a cartoon with a pretty unrealistic premise. I also thought the voice acting was very good and fit in well with the Claymation characters. This provided a good flow to the film. One thing that was very prominent in the film was cutting for continuity. One example of this is when Mr. Tweedy was building the pie machine. The film would cut to different parts of him building and repairing it to show the passage of time without taking time from the story that could be used elsewhere. I enjoyed the premise of the story too. It is very original and when it came out it had not been used very often. When I first watched this film when I was very young enjoyed its comedic elements and fast paced story. Watching it no, as an adult, I enjoy the humor of the jokes and many of the dramatic aspects that I did not quite pick up on as a child. I found that the fast paced story was very easy to follow but and kept the audience entertained, but it was not too fast as to feel rushed and incomplete. Chicken Run had a very Classical Paradigm in that its structure was very simple. This structure is very common in fiction movies and this is prime example. The story follows from the intro and introducing the film through the plot and finally to the climax and closing. One of my favorite scenes was when Rocky was in the pie making machine. In this scene a lot is going on. There is so much motion going on that you would think that you would become distracted and lose focus on the point but because of how it was filmed your eye is always drawn to Rocky and what he is doing. The story of this film may also be paralleled to the concentration camps of World War 2. The chickens representing the Jews and other captives and the Tweedys representing the Nazi's. As the chickens realize that the end is near they must find a way to escape from their oppressors. I believe that what the chickens felt during this film can be paralleled with the feelings of many of those who perished in the camps.

Chicken Run does everything to make it a fun family motion picture. So there is a good chance you and your whole family will enjoy it.What makes this movie special that it is stop motion. Stop Motion Animation is hardly use these days and it is very good to see a full motion picture with stop motion.The stop motion is very well done and you can see in this film that they took the time to detail every motion of the characters and the sets help make it convincing that is what I like the best about the film is the stop motion it deserves a lot of respect for how the animation was done. The music in the film tells the story pretty well for each scene. The writing in this film does have pretty well and some good reference to famous films and Television shows which is another winner because the writers made each reference work.The voice acting is very well done as well with a cast you never thought would do animation films but they did.The only downside to the film is that some characters will leave you scratching your head and some of the writing can be out there.But overall Chicken Run is a fun film for the whole family and shouldn't be miss I give Chicken Run an 7 out of 10
