Chicken Run Reviews

Second time of seeing this film and it's just as good as i remembered, hired it for my boyfriend to see and he loved it to.Great entertainment for all the family. I think the people who have written bad reviews of this animation/film musn't have a sense of humour as it is very witty, give it a go im sure you won't be dissapointed.

Eggscellent!

When you consider most animated films these days are digital, this one shows the skill and expertise of plastic animation can be just as good and sometimes better when the characters and story are as compelling as 'chicken run'.

Admittedly it did take them around five years to complete but is one of the great animated films of our time!

The plot is set in a chicken farm in Yorkshire where the chickens are styled as if in a POW camp and are trying to escape the evil couple that own the farm, lead by the only male chicken who is well past his sell by date. One day after many failed attempts at escape, a new male chicken arrives who is young and dashing and is given the role of heading the escape to freedom.

This film will have you smiling and laughing out loud the whole way through, its fantastic!!

Great fun if not slightly Tom and Jerry whilst pretending to be grown up. Animation as good as Nick Parkes has done before with his Hallmark Caricatures. Story a bit samie as some of his previous titles. Good overall effect and nice warm ending.

good plane

i liked it the way the chickens escaped in the plane.If i could i would buy it. what i did not like about it is that it was too long.There were lots of good characters in the film and Rocky was my favourite. worth watching

superb

this film is very entertaining.

my children are big wallace and gromit fans, and this film made by the same animation team did not disappoint.

they watched it at least a dozen times before i could send it back.

Chicken Run (2000) Move Over Great Escape!!!

This is a fun filled film for all the family,From the makers of Wallace and Gromit Has some witty one liners this will keep the kids And Adults glued to the telly BRILLIANT ****

get the apple sauce

Well!!!! A very good very funny film.. yep even as a rooster Mel Gibson is phwaoor!! And the children loved the action, the animated chickens are out of this world, the creators have shown how much hard work it takes and deserve every penny they earn from this film. Its funny for all the family and the character's voices belong to those plastacine chickens!!

Its a tale about a chicken farm, and a plot not unsimilar to "Escape from Victory".....

Our whole family enjoyed this and recommend it for a family film with alot of laughs and a few tears!!

Very enjoyable and funny

All the usual touches of English humour you'd expect from a Nick Park film. Perhaps not quite as utterly perfect as the Wallace & Grommit trilogy, but I suspect I’m being ultra-critical.

Chicken Run is highly enjoyable, with lots of little jokes in the background for when you can take your eyes off the main characters.

Animation at it's best!

This is animation at its best. It is a film that you need to see over and over again to catch every gag and comedy moment from the characters. Has lots going on, a real quality film.

Would recommend this to anyone. A great rental!

"But I don't want to be in a pie......

......I don't like gravy!"

"Chickens go in, pies come out."

"What kind of pies?"

"Apple."

"Oooo, my favourite!"

Lines such as these are apparent throughout the film and really help make it the very funny film it is. I especially like the dippiness and stupidity of the ever-knitting Babs (brilliantly voiced by Jane Horrocks), who appears to be brain-free!

You could easily imagine Rocky (Mel Gibson) as a "stud" to the ladies, although I felt that maybe a British accent would have been better for a British film, as British accents can be sexy too!

I found the film to be very realistic, and I could easily imagine apparently stupid chickens plotting their escape from a farm. Even now as I pass by farms I can see them huddled together in the dark, just waiting for that opportun moment to break free. After this film, you'll be doing the same! Add it to your collection and watch it whenever you need cheering up!
