I was so happy to see this film I wore my chicken costume to the movie!

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2000)

Bawk! I, a chicken, loved this film! Everyone in the theatre cheered madly during the final escape sequence. The man sitting in front of me told his wife that they ought to at least eat turkey instead of chicken for dinner that evening. All the little kids loved my costume.
I rented The Great Escape two days ago, just to get ready for this movie, and re-watched all the Wallace and Gromits. Chicken Run. Nick Park and Peter Lord claimed in their recent NPR/Fresh Air interview that there was no Steve McQueen character in Chicken Run, but Ginger certainly has a lot of his characteristics -- she's just as spunky, plucky (excuse the pun), and unstoppable as his character was in the Great Escape.
This movie was so good I am going to make my parents go see it, my parents who never go to the movies. I took four co-workers, and they really loved it.
Bawk! The Big Chicken has spoken. Chickens Rule!
