This animated film directed by Peter Lord and Nick Park was one of the major hits of 2000. The film was hugely successful world over and has won lots of awards and nominations including a Golden Globe nomination. Chicken Run can be best described as a comedy drama set in the Yorkshire Chicken Farm in England during the 1950s’.
The film portrays the romance between two farm bred chickens, Rocky and Ginger. These two chickens yearn for freedom and hit upon an escape plan as seen in the movies. The chicken farm is known as the Tweedy Egg Farm. Ginger is one of the chickens in this farm who is desperate to flee the farm but is always let down by her incompetent partners. She is extremely capable of fleeing the farm but bad luck does not seem to desert her.
One night a chicken gets axed in the Tweedy farm. Ginger is very upset and wanders around when suddenly a rooster come crashing drown. He introduces himself as Rocky and he has escaped from a circus. He is enjoying his new found freedom to the fullest. Ginger requests him to help her and company to flee from the Tweedy farm. He agrees but in return asks Ginger to save him when the circus people will come looking for him.
Rocky begins training Ginger and in the process does not miss an opportunity to irritate Ginger and Officer Fowler. A lot of funny incidents take place in the farm and slowly but steadily a romance brews between Rocky and Ginger. On the other side of the story, the Tweedys’ purchased a machine to make chicken pies. Mr Tweedy had grand plans to convert all the chickens into juicy pies. Ginger was now panicked. She, along with her friends, needs to flee the farms as soon as possible. The sequences of events that follow are really funny and you need to watch the film to really enjoy it. I am not going to give away the ending and spoil the fun for you.
The Chicken Run movie is an out and out entertainer and can be enjoyed by the whole family. The kids will simply love it. The flick scores a point or two more than other animation films as it successfully blends humor and intellectual parodies. The dialogue deliveries are simply brilliant. Mel Gibson as Rocky is outstanding and voice modulations will leave you speechless. Julia Sawalha as the voice of Ginger is also very convincing.
As an animation film, Chicken Run is simply superb. But don’t expect any sort of realistic animation. The chickens don’t look like the ones that you can find in the local market. They look different but that is where their charm lies. They are well defined characters and you will fall in love so much with them that you will laugh and cry with these chickens.
Chicken Run will be loved by both adults and kids. You can watch Chicken Run online free and save yourself the trouble of going to the theater.
