Summary: "A fun family movie"
Review: Chicken Run is a very good animated family comedy. The story is about Ginger, one of the chickens in Mrs. Tweedy's evil farm. When Mrs.Tweedy decided to turn the chickens into pies, the chickens decide to escape by flying. But can they? However, Rocky, an American rooster, comes and says that he can teach the chickens and Ginger how to fly. But when the chickens find out Rocky is fake, he escapes. Now the chicken's only chance is to trust each other and build a plane to fly out of there.

Chicken Run is a very entertaining movie. You can watch it several times and still enjoy it. I suggest you take it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best version on DVD
Review: I've seen this movie in a good theater, a bad theater, on VHS on a great player (well, as good as they get) and now on DVD. On DVD it was a new movie! The movie is dark. In the previous versions, the dark scenes sort of all ran together. Here, the darker scenes showed a great detail, not only in the chickens but the backgrounds as well. Incredible. Even my usually oblivious kids noticed the difference. If you want to sell someone on the advantages of DVD, this may be a good place to start.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: boring clay movie
Review: I really had to fight not turning this one off. It was boring! Soooo boring. Not only boring but all the jokes were stolen from other movies.

And the clay is well, clay. A very austre film to view compared to a Pixar film. Animation wise? Very mechanical.

I'm really suprised this one has gotten such good reviews because everyone I know hated it also!

But if you like British humor this might be your cup of tea! As for me it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Decent Animation, but a Lame Chick
Review: Strong animation - startling at times in fact - propel "Chicken Run" and keep it from being a total dud. Though nowhere near as poor as the the all-time Box Office Animated Dud, "Howard the Duck" it's interesting they both deal with animals of the flighty, airy variety. Our aviary friends haven't had much luck in animated form (where's The Road Runner when we need him? Beep Beep,) and thankfully "Run" does have a few stunning sequences.

There are also some moments of sweet inspiration, cute kid-friendly messages, and reasonably good voice-overs. That said, the novelty wears off quickly, and parents who may be forced to endure repeat viewings might consider watching "Toy STory" for the 50th time instead! This one's for the birds...stick with the Pigs and Ogres (Babe, Babe 2- Pig in the City - which was named Best Picture by either Siskel or Ebert when it was released, and rightly so, and of course....Shrek.)

Summary: the best
Review: i just watched it yesterday and i just loved it this is one i am definatly going to watch againi think the best charictars are "nick and fetcha" the 2 rats and how they get all the tools for the chickens who are trying to escape out of the chicken farm because the farmers mr and mrs tweedy look after them and when they stop laying eggs they get plucked, stuffed, and roasted they try about 20 ways to escape and evry time they get caught but not untill rockey the flying rooster turns up and "helps" them escape and the chicken think he really can fly but everyone knows roosters cant fly. so the movi is how they manage to escape. This is one i am definatly going to watch again

Summary: Inventinve and Funny
Review: My whole family liked it. We all thought it was funny and the extras on the DVD were worth watching. I liked the homage to the Great Escape. It was worth the money.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun little movie to watch
Review: Starts out with a P.O.W. camp theme and look with Ginger (Julia Sawalha) the Hen making repeated escape attempts, sometimes with other hens(prisoners) just as was done both in WWII and in so many movies such as Stalag 17 (here one of the chicken coops is #17. Ginger keeps getting dumped in a coal bin as punishment (paralleling the sweatbox or pit used in real life)but never gives up hope. Finally an American Rooster (Mel Gibson)named Rocky literally flies into camp having escaped from a traveling circus. Ginger mistakenly thinks he can really fly and pressures him to teach the hens how he did it. Rocky falls for Ginger but doesn't have the nerve to tell her his flying ability actually consists of being shot out of a cannon, she only finds that out after he leaves rather than face up to the truth. Undaunted Ginger and the others build their own airplane out of a couple of coops and assorted junk. During their escape flight the night before they are all to be slaughtered Ginger is captured but rescued by a returning Rocky. All is saved in the end.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Cute movie!
Review: I got this movie for my son, and he liked it. It isn't his favorite movie, but it is entertaining, and is one of those movies he will watch, and then come back to after a few weeks or months, and that si how a movie should be. One thing though, and perhaps it was the intention of this movie, but it sure does make you feel guilty about eating chicken. :)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great movie
Review: Mel Gibson can make any part good, but this movie is definitely a keeper. The DVD has got a great special features section, with a behind-the-scenes look at how they made the movie, and the chickens.
