All is not well on Tweedy's chicken farm. Led by the plucky Ginger and ably abetted by American interloper Rocky, the chickens are on the verge of a revolution - because the evil Mrs Tweedy is planning to turn them all into pies! This good-natured animated film tips its hat to several classic escape movies, most obviously The Great Escape, but ploughs a furrow all its own in which chickens knit, fly planes, hatch plans and eventually make their longed-for exit. Cracking stuff.

An audio description is available on this DVD.

    I thought chicken run was both funny and scary the best thing was when the fattest chicken always saying the people went on holiday.
    the scary bit was when one of the chickens got the chop.

    I liked chicken run because the women didn't think about the chicken's plan she just carryed on with her plan.
