It's funnier than flying chickens

From the creators of Wallace and Grommit, chicken run is the story of a group of farm chicken and their desperate struggle for freedom.
The animation is spotless as is usual for any Nick Park claymation, and the plot presents many moment of true hilarity. Overall a very good film, not fully to par with Wallace and Grommit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but nonetheless highly recommended for kids and grown-ups alike.

I like this movie too

It's pretty funny. I'd never imagine chickens being as lovable as this flock of inventive hens. What makes this movie worth watching in my opinion is the funny antics involving their attempts to flee the farm. I guess chickens always tickle my funny bone! I also love how the witty dialogue sets up the gags in this movie too!

Chickens strive to escape from their pen before they can be turned into chicken pies. When a fugitive rooster (Mel Gibson) seems to fly into their midst, they become convinced that he can teach them all to fly away from their danger.
Nick Park and the crew at Aardman Studios have produced another wonderful family comedy utilizing the unique art of clay animation. Like their other films, it features lots of madcap action sequences and homages to classic films (in this case, prison standards such as "The Great Escape" and "Stalag 17"). Children and adults can watch together with equal enjoyment. Parents, there is one fairly shocking scene early on when a chicken is slaughtered. The killing is off-screen, but there is no doubt about what has happened and it may be scary for young children. At any rate, it certainly demonstrates why our heroes are so desperate to get away. Recommended.

Nick Park does it again

I thought the artistry was great in this movie, but it's definitely not for youngsters who like claymation. The subject content was pretty morbid, even though the movie ends positively. I was kind of shocked that it was so violently suggestive - it was scary, and I'm an adult. I felt uncomfortable, which is why I don't watch it that often. After seeing this, I am much happier watching his other works like "Wallace and Gromit", which is far more suitable for children.
