WATCH CHICKEN RUN HOW TO

Perhaps he can teach them how to fly! Of course what he isn’t telling them is he is shot out of a canon and can’t fly, but he needs to hide out from the circus while they are in town so he plays along and begins training them on how to fly. Ginger knows he is from the circus but thinks he has somehow learned how to fly. With the purchase of the new machine Ginger is about to lose hope when a rooster named Rocky comes flying in to the farm. Her dream is to turn the chickens into pies and she buys a giant manufacturing machine to make the pies. She’s the main villain of the picture and a lot of fun in a Cruella Deville type fashion. The chickens end up failing in all of their attempts and Farmer Tweedy gets suspicious the “chickens are organizing!” which his wife Mrs Tweedy thinks is insane. I like this shot the bunk has 17 on it like Stallag 17, another famous prison war movie. All of Ginger’s attempts to escape feel very reminiscent of those pictures. The design of the farm is brilliant with hen houses that look like the cabins of the Great Escape. Well, there is the braniac chicken but she’s the only one that seems to understand what they are up against. She is really the only intelligent chicken in the lot. It focuses on Ginger (Minnie Driver), a plucky chicken at Tweedy egg farm who refuses to be satisfied with a life at the farm.

WATCH CHICKEN RUN MOVIE

If you haven’t seen it, Chicken Run is a claymation, stop motion animation take on a prison escape movie like The Great Escape. This will be more like a traditional review from me since animation is my blog focus but at the bottom I will have my best shot like normal. I watched it again today and was delighted all over again. It certainly beats Free Birds as a Thanksgiving film and I don’t think there are any other movies about poultry. I know this is about chickens instead of turkey but it has become a bit of a Thanksgiving tradition at my house to watch Chicken Run. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this week’s Hit Me with Your Best Shot as it is an animated film, and one that I happen to love at that- Aardman animation’s 2000 Chicken Run.
