Summary: A little bit of everything
Review: If you have ever seen a WWII prison movie, then you have the basic premise for this movie. Rather than soldiers, however, chickens are trying to escape the chicken farm. There are more than a few references to the war prison genre, like the film Stalag 17, but also references to Indiana Jones, Star Trek., and Saturday Night Fever. The story centers on Tweedy's Chicken Farm, where a young, English chicken named Ginger, voiced by Julia Sawalha of Ab Fab fame, is trying to rally her compatriots to escaping. While on the farm, they come into contact with the American rooster, Rocky, voiced by Mel Gibson. Thinking that he can fly, Ginger implores him to teach the other chickens to fly so that they can literally flee the coop. Along the way are the characters of Mr. Tweedy and the rats, which are always good for a laugh. I would recommend watching this movie. It is good for a laugh. Watch carefully though, or you will miss the numerous references.

Summary: Awesome movie! Far Superior to "Wallace & Gromit" shorts.
Review: I thought I might find the humor a little too rough (being a vegetarian and sensitive to animals' rights), but I thought this movie was great. Unlike "Babe 2: A Pig in the City" which was not funny because of the amount of unnecessary suffering the likeable characters had to endure, this movie has a gentle touch especially in the scenes when most needed. (The farmer couple's egg inspections scenes, etc.) Maybe its because the story takes place sometime around the late 1950s to early 1960s, but I truly enjoyed the overall style of this picture. It reminded me of an old-fashioned movie, the type Disney USED to make. The animation is incredible! My only complaint is that there wasn't a little information about the making of this movie. I would have loved to have seen some shots of the guys creating the stop action figures, etc. Great stuff!

Summary: Thrilling and Funny!
Review: ... I LOVE THIS MOVIE! IT IS SO COOL! The characters are great. I love Ginger, Rocky and Mac, but my favorite chicken is Babs. She's fat, like all chickens, but she's a great character. The scene in the pie machine is INTENSE, as is the way cool climax. Now listen, even if you have seen this movie 100 times, and have bought it on video 80 times, you MUST buy it on DVD! If you do, then you will get the super cool "Chicken Impossible" trailer. It is so cool, and it's gonna blow you away! BUY IT NOW!

Summary: an important movie!
Review: the thing with this movie is that almost everybody who has seen it, got it all very wrong. the chicken farm ringed a bell at first, and it didn't take much longer for me to understand that with all the jokes, this movie is an alegory for the holocaust. the farm is surrounded by a wired fence, and the hole farm looks like a concentration camp, not to mention mr. tweedie with his two vicious dogs. and the farm goes from a labor camp, to a mass murder factory. the movie claims, and i agree, that profit was one of the biggest motivations of the nazis to go for mass murder, apart from racism. the movie also says a lot about the american involvement in the holocaust. it's a known fact that american aircrafts took pictures of mass murder camps, but did nothing about it. this movie plays with the idea of what could have happend if they would have done something. rocky, the circus rooster, is that american aircraft. only this time he goes down, and unwillingly helps the chicken. see this movie again, but this time from this point of view.

Summary: Delightful Chicken Tale
Review: Decent movie for kids and is entertaining for adults as well (which has been a good trend for the past five years or so). The plot is simple and the jokes are clean and funny. The lighting / shadows of the animation is very good, especially seeing the sunrises and sunsets that are some of the best that I have seen. The transfer to DVD is fine. Pretty good flick.

Summary: No one escapes from Tweedy FArM!!
Review: This was a very enjoyable movie from the the creators of "Wallace and Gromit". Chicken Run Shows that clamation has come along way. Remember "Gumby"? The story centers around a chicken farm in England. One chicken called Ginger is consantly triing to escape. The chicken farm is made to look like a German WWII POW camp. The movie tries to immitate the Steve McQueen classic "The Great Escape". The hens recieve some help from an American Rooster called Rocky (Voices by Mel Gibson). The scene where tries to teach them to fly is very funny. This is one animated movie that can be enjoyed by the whole family. The animation is excellent and realistic.
