Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2000)

"Chicken Run" is a wildly great animated tale of a boasting rooster named Rocky (Mel Gibson) who flies right into a chicken camp that has the resembelence of prison for war prisoners. Rocky is asked by Ginger (Julia Swahulia), a courageous hen who is determined to get out of the camp before the owners, hen-pecked Mr. Tweedy (Tony Haygarth) and devilish Mrs. Tweedy (Miranda Richardson) turn the whole camp of hens into pot pies.
Nick Park and Peter Lord, who had great success with the "Wallace and Gromit" series, wrote and directed the film with a solid touches of humor and intelligence.
This film also makes a great reference to several old WW2 prison movies, notably "Stalag 17" and "The Great Escape".
Besides the kids, adults should enjoy and cherish this film.
