Clay figures become objects of heroism on a chicken farm!

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2000)

In case you feel this film is just for children, think again. Adults may well enjoy it more and appreciate the symbolism more than their children.

An excellent effort all around, CHICKEN RUN held me from start to finish.

The chickens are so cute and imaginatively formed that you want to play with them. Mel Gibson is great as the voice of Rocky the Rooster as is the British actress who plays Ginger, the leader of the rebellious chickens.

The analogy of the chicken farm as concentration camp may seem a little much, but it works here. And the inspiring ending doesn't lay an egg.
