Review of Chicken Run (2000) by Filipeneto — 29 Nov 2018

Mrs. Tweedy's farm produces eggs, and the greedy landlord demands her chickens a good share of the day's production, or they end up in the pot. Therefore, the chickens face decided to organize and escape. Ginger is one of the ringleaders, already has many punishments for her rebellion, and the countless failed escape attempts have demoralized the whole hen house. When they all began to settle for their fate, there arises Rocky, an American cock that seems to be able to fly and that breathes new life into the prisoners' dreams of freedom.

It's decidedly a remarkable film in every respect. Reminds me of the movie "The Great Escape". Personally, I think the creators were inspired a lot in this film to idealize the whole plot. The scenarios are quite detailed and the soundtrack is very good. Technically, stop-motion animation (it's an Aardman Studios movie, and stop-motion is almost a studio tradition) is very good. It's not as good as in newer movies, where other materials were used, but it's positively realistic.
