If you laugh at Roadrunner cartoons, this is for you!

Rating: 3/10 (17 June 2001)

I fell asleep (sitting up in a chair) in the middle of it. It's cute, I suppose, but there weren't any laughs as far as I could tell (maybe 2 or 3 mild chuckles). And yes, I did get the "in-jokes." There's one hatchet scene were a hen who didn't produce any eggs is executed (they actually only show the axe rising, not falling). It's no "There's Something About Mary," let's put it that way. If you like kiddie cartoons like Tom & Jerry and laugh at them, you'll like Chicken Run. By the way, someone here posted a protest against the anti-American sentiment expressed in one character's observation, "Americans: overpaid, over-sexed and over HERE!" Well, that comment was made over 50 years ago in Britain during World War II when Americans were stationed there. Another "in-joke," see?
