Clever and Imaginative

Rating: 9/10 (14 September 2019)

As someone who grew up with this I have to say it's has aged pretty well. It's clever, witty and fun to watch over and over again. Basically a parody of the movie The Great Escape but with chickens led by a hen named Ginger (Julia Sawalha) trying to escape a farm owned by a cruel couple called the Tweedy's. Things may finally look up for them when they help a rooster recover named Rocky (Mel Gibson) who tries to teach them how to fly. They'll have to come up with a plan fast before the Tweedy's turn them into pies.
The animation is awesome. It's fluid and fun to look at. The characters are interesting and really work well off each other. Each character brigs something new to the table in terms of a plan and or a joke. The writing is clever. It's witty and fast paced. Don't blink as you may just miss something. If you like claymation and clever stories than I highly recommend you check this movie out. Fly in and see for yourself.
