Chicken Run is an animated family-friendly classic that comes highly recommended. It follows the story of a group of chickens who are desperate to escape the confines of their coop and evade the clutches of their evil owner, Mrs. Tweedy. The film’s visual style is reminiscent of a stop-motion claymation film, and its characters exuberantly brought to life with witty writing and charming voice acting. The movie also features some great original songs and music, including “The Chicken Run Theme Song,” which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2000. With its humorous yet heartwarming story and beautiful animation, Chicken Run is sure to be enjoyed by viewers of all ages.
