Chicken Run is just such a Jammie Dodger film as it uses elements that our quite inspirational but however I think the spotlight was heavily relied on to Mel Gibson.

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 **** 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.

I remember this being one of the animations I always used to watch over and over as a kid. Wallace and Gromit style with witty humor and hilarious actions these chickens are supported by fantastic voice acting and cute, and memorable characters. Even now I still love to watch this film now and then. A

A tedious and uninspiring stop-motion animation that fails to deliver genuine laughs or engaging suspense.130919 (1.0)Directed by Peter Lord and Nick Park, "Chicken Run" (2000) is a stop-motion animated comedy produced by Aardman Animations in partnership with DreamWorks Pictures. Set on a bleak Yorkshire egg farm in the 1950s, the story centers on Ginger, a determined hen who continuously plots daring escapes with her fellow chickens to flee the tyrannical farm owners, Mr. and Mrs. Tweedy. When Mrs. Tweedy decides to convert the farm into an automated chicken pie factory, the threat of impending slaughter becomes terrifyingly immediate. Hope arrives in the form of Rocky Rhodes, a suave American rooster who accidentally crashes into the coop and falsely claims he can fly. Desperate for survival, the chickens strike a deal with Rocky to teach them how to fly over the high wire fences before the pie machine becomes operational. Featuring the voice talents of Julia Sawalha as Ginger alongside Mel Gibson as Rocky Rhodes, Miranda Richardson, and Jane Horrocks, the film is widely recognized for its claymation technique and homages to classic prison-escape cinema. However, experiencing this movie in 2013 proved to be a remarkably flat and tedious ordeal. Despite the detailed stop-motion craftsmanship, the narrative pacing feels surprisingly sluggish, while the humor relies on repetitive slapstick and dry banter that fails to spark genuine laughter. The characters feel thin and predictable, leaving the high-stakes escape plot dull rather than thrilling. Viewing this in 2013 was a thoroughly disappointing and uninspired cinematic experience, earning a low score.
