Summary: Claymation and comedy at its best
Review: It is a refreshing change when people decide to create movies in the seldon used stop-motion animation style. Some of my favorites are "The Nightmare Before Christmas", "James and the Giant Peach" and now I can add "Chicken Run" to the list. Chicken Run is not only a funny movie it is a fascination piece of cinematography. They put more thought into the camera angles and lighting effects than I see regular movies do today. The comedy is quick and witty and the action is fast paced it seems impossible to be done with the stop-motion technique. Included on the DVD are extras that show the behind the scenes creation of the movie that needs to be watched by everyone who wants to enjoy the movie fully.

Summary: The animation is good, but the movie is bad.
Review: I gave Chicken Run 2 stars because of the excellent animation, it was brilliant. Unforunately, the movie's plot was bad and gloomy. I mean, there is a part when a chicken gets her head cut off, and that part is totally uneeded! And about 40% percent of the humor is lame. It is hard to think that such a good anamated movie, has a stinker plot.

Summary: Politics, assertiveness, persistence... in a humorous form
Review: Entertaining for all, from 8-year-olds to adults! Cute story, comedic aspects and colorful claymation make an excellent production. It's sort of a not-so-obvious remake of "The Great Escape" and makes a great discussion starter for business, politics, assertiveness, persistence and teamwork. It was a big with our kid viewers who commented: "It's silly and fun but it taught us to look for different ways to solve problems." "The chickens were like real people, with good expressions and human voices." "I learned what prison must be like."

Summary: Cult classic
Review: What a cool movie for the Kids and the child within the adult, great work by Nick Park and his partner Peter Lord.
A storyline lifted from the great Escape by a movie that pays homage to all the WW2 escape movies with a plot that can be understood by the kids and an underlying plot that can be understood by the adult viewers, I've used this movie many times to calm children down or get them ready for bed, I don't think that they will ever get bored with this one.
A must have in your collection.

Summary: Very cute.
Review: I love Wallace and Grommit, so this was a big must-see for me. The animation was terrific, and what great story. The one drawback for me was Mel Gibson being a main voice. Not a big fan of Mel. But, since I am probably in a *very* small minority there, I feel I can in good conscience recommend this sweet movie very highly.

Summary: This Bird's on a roll
Review: It is totally proper this this review should immediately follow my review of the Great Escape. I can't see one movie without thinking of the other. This is frankly one of the best children's features of the last 10 years. Forgetting the many in jokes for movie fans or for Mel Gibson fans (" '...the land of the free and the home of the brave. 'Scotland!'") We see a movie full of interesting characters with interesting tag lines: "In my RAF days", "on holiday" etc... We also see a very British film that isn't Americanized and just plain fun the way it is. The makers of Wallace & Gromit have a reputation for making smart and funny short films in this way. After this one we see they can make feature films of the same quality. The fact that it hasn't been merchandiced (With apologies to Mel Brooks) to death is another plus. This is clean family fun that any adult will love. It lived up to its previews and surpassed them. In this year of weak movies its worth buying this one. It's better than anything I've seen this year.

Summary: DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SPELL CHICKEN RUN? B-A-D
Review: Chicken Run was the WORST movie I ever saw. The humor was NOT funny at all. And here is the boring drag plot: A bunch of hens are stuck on this farm with this evil woman who wants to turn them all the chickens into pot pies. Then a rooster named Rockey Road lies to the chickens that he can fly to get their attention. (He was orginally shot out of a cannon, his weakness is discovered, but he saves the day anyway) is BORING!!!! Here is an example of a bad joke: <Hen> "Turn into pies? I don't like gravy" is not that funny. All the rest of the humor is cliched (You Idiot! etc.) Overall CHICKEN RUN IS A TURKEY!!!!

Summary: pure brilliance
Review: Having been fed an unremitting diet of computerized special effects for so long I was simply astonished by the beauty of this clay animation movie. It a tribute to the dedication, patience and artistry of the animators. Besides being a technical masterpiece, everything else worked as well including, the storyline, the characters, the photography and the script. It was funny and entertained everyone in my familly and has become a real favorite of mine. The characters, blessed with the voices of some very popular actors including Mel Gibson, were just wonderful. I strongly recommend this film - it's a classic. By the way - If you like this movie, take a look at the Wallace and Grommitt series - its by the same people and excellent work. Pure entertainment - try it - you wont be sorry

Summary: cheese
Review: The anamation is fantastic, the story is good, anything done by them is worth watching (especially Wallace and Gromit). I guess Disney is wrong and you don't need a babe with a minute waistline and a huge chest to be a good cartoon.

Summary: Highly enjoyable!
Review: I've been a fan of Nick Parks' work for years, ever since a friend took me to see the third Wallace and Gromit film (along with some other Aardman Animations shorts, including Creature Comforts) at the Film Forum here in NYC several years ago. And Chicken Run doesn't disappoint! There's so much creativity and parody shown here - from the opening credits and the Great Escape and Stalag 17 nods... truly a wonderful movie. I would watch it again, but have lent my DVD to a friend, and she seems to have taken it hostage for some reason.
