Good fun

Rating: 7/10 (14 April 2020)

The chickens on the Tweedys' farm are getting restless. Led by Ginger, they are trying to find a way to escape but every plan they have hatched is thwarted. Help comes unexpectedly in the form of Rocky, the flying rooster.
Fun animated movie, produced, written and directed by Nick Park and Peter Lord, who also gave us the Wallace and Gromit films. A rollicking plot with good action sequences, some very funny moments, and a touch of sentimentality make it difficult to dislike. The nods to classic WW2 prisoner of war movies, especially The Great Escape, add to the charm.
Will mostly appeal to kids but adults will enjoy it too.
