A very good stop-motion animation!
'Chicken Run', which I watched a crap tonne when I was little but not for a vast number of years now, is an impressive production given it came out in 2000. Despite a pretty simple feel to the film, it's a very well developed concept.
The, admittedly short, run time truly flies by. Of course everything looks, relatively, terrific, but I'm impressed by the pacing which is clean. As for the cast, Julia Sawalha is the definite standout - she's fantastic as Ginger. Timothy Spall and Phil Daniels, as rats Nick and Fetcher, are amusing. Mel Gibson (Rocky), though still decent, isn't actually that good in this.
A fun and interesting story! Definitely worth seeing if you haven't already. I'm intrigued to see where they go with the upcoming sequel.
+1 for stop-motion animation, there are almost none of them anymore.
Easily the best movie Aardman has made
chickens running from the farmers... hell yeah
I can't believe I haven't seen this sooner. This is a very charming film with great humor and impressive animation. Yes, it has flaws within the structure of the film, and is a bit generic at times, but the film has great characters and uses the animation in a unique way. Just pure fun and I can't wait for the sequel.
W Nick/crew. Not bad, funny characters/accents. Chickens go in, pies come out.

An overall trakt rating of 7.1? Are you having a laugh, back in my R.A.F days you'd have been duffed up for this, go do one trakt! This ought to be nothing short of 10/10 stars I reckon
