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.

  • Very clever and witty and so funny right through to the very end of the film. I could not take my eyes from the screen.

    The chickens learn they are all to be made into pies
    and they try to hatch an escape plan, so I am going
    to give it a 1.

    I loved the comedy wich is why I am going to give it
    a 2, it was very funny, I'll love to wach this film again!

    I was in suspence at the part with the climax, I loved
    the movements as well!

    Chicken is a classic film made by the people who make wallace and gromit! In some parts it can be a bit sad,weird and funny.
    The reason I'm giving Chicken run a 4 is because it is not one of my favourite films but it is funny

    a good film from a chickens point of view an evil lay and a shy man try to make food out of them (like normal) but in an even meaner way.
