Kid friendly with humor adults will laugh at

11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great humor, good kid movie
Cons a little simplistic, predictable plot
Recommended it? Yes

My mother used my kids as an excuse to see this movie thinking it was only for kids. WRONG! Although it uses claymation as to show you the action, the real message and humor of this movie is in the script used and the wit behind that script.

Plot
I have to say the plot is rather... Read full review »

Pros Great story and animation, good humor
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

The storyline is one of the most important elements that will make or break an animated film. Especially an animated film due to the fact of all careful planning and hard work for each scene, storyboards, direction,lighting, character design.and many more. The greatest technical achievement is the... Read full review »

First "Babe" now "Chicken Run," What am I Gonna Eat?

Pros Very Funny, not self conscious
Cons Did not use great music from "Great Escape" or "Indiana Jones"
Recommended it? Yes

I took my kids and wife to "Chicken Run," and we all had a great time. The kids liked the Claymation but as with all good movies that appeal to a variety of ages there were different levels that only the adults would get. In this case it was the blatant and extremely funny ripoffs of "The Great... Read full review »

Pros excellent animation, brilliant characters
Cons Didn't need a Hollywood actor at all.
Recommended it? Yes

I love this movie! Nick Park and Peter Lord, the makers of the Wallace and Grommit short films have made a hilarious leap to the feature length format with a beautiful and original movie about life from a hen's point of view.
Chicken Run is somewhat a send up of WWII movies such as The Great... Read full review »

Pros fun, moves quickly, good for adults too
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

Chicken Run is brought to you by the same guy who does Wallace and Gromit and those Chevron 'talking car' commercials. The whole thing takes place
on an English egg farm. The life there is dreary and oppressive - the chickens must meet a quota, or else they are killed by the ruthless owner,... Read full review »

Pros Wonderful animation, hilarious antics
Cons Not much I can think of!
Recommended it? Yes

Since the first time I saw a preview for Chicken Run, I knew I would go and see the movie. I was so desperate to go, I actually went with my brothers. Yes! My brothers! You might think this isn't a big thing, but in the mind of a 14 year old girl, it takes a lot of swallowing of precious pride to... Read full review »

Too Chicken to be perfect?

byFIBber May 6, 2002
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Funny, Entertaining and a landmark for clay animation...
Cons But a bit of a let down.
Recommended it? Yes

I am a Wallace and Grommit fan. As of yet I haven't found a person who doesn't like and Wallace and Grommit. Wallace and Grommit are good. So was Creature Comforts.

So, therefore, their director and animator Nick Park is a good person to watch out for. He's received three Academy awards,... Read full review »

Pros claymation was very good.
Cons boring and depressing.
Recommended it? No

Away that is! This is one of the worst kids movies I have seen in a long time. From the start it is obvious the scene takes place in a concentration camp for chickens. Very depressing. To generally sum up plot;
Chickens try to escape
Chickens fail to escape
Brave Rooster comes to save... Read full review »

Pros Good "Man-Night" flick; my boy and I loved it--twice.
Cons If you're an old grump you won't like it (or probably anything else)
Recommended it? Yes

It was Man-Night at our house; my son and I go out to eat at the ?restaurant? of his choice, then go see a movie and do guy stuff. The trailers had been funny showing clay figure chickens being propelled into a fence and then springing back AND Chicken Run had made it to the second run theaters... Read full review »

Pros Everything about the film
Cons Nothing
Recommended it? Yes

After all the hype and advertising of this film I decided I just had to go and see what all the fuss was about. And am I glad I did. It was brilliant, funny, sad, and the characters seemed so real.

I was glued to my seat and actually found myself willing the chickens on and hoping that... Read full review »

Chicken Run Widescreen DVD

Facing imminent death while laying eggs at Tweedy's English farm a group of chickens led by the determined Ginger Julia Sawahla BBC-TV's ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS plan to escape their prisonlike coop. The situation goes from bad to worse when the sinister Mrs. Tweedy Miranda Richardson decides to stop selling eggs and use the hens as the main ingredient in chicken pot pies. However some hope literally falls from the sky in the form of Rocky Mel Gibson an American rooster who promises to teach the chickens how to fly. As the hens begin their struggle to get airborne the monstrous pie-making machine arrives giving the chickens precious little time to make their great escape. Aardman Studios' first full-length feature film is a stunning showcase of stop-motion animation. Utilizing the unique Plasticine designs of the acclaimed WALLACE GROMIT and CREATURE COMFORT shorts CHICKEN RUN features vibrant visuals and colorful characters that are immediately endearing. The naive and constantly knitting Babs voiced by Jane Horrocks is particularly hilarious. With its clever writing witty film references and pitch-perfect combination of comedy drama and romance CHICKEN RUN is one of those rare movies that genuinely appeals to viewers of every age.
