Everything you could want, and a little bit more.

After seeing commercials for Chicken Run I thought I came up with the pre-conception that watching clay models moving around wouldn't be that entertaining, more menial. Man, was a wrong! After watching Chicken Run I don't think I will ever look at the Children's Genre, or in this case Everyone's Genre the same again! The character development is extremely well done, not only for the two main characters but a fair amount of the supporting cast. It is great to see characters change completely from what they were like in the beginning, to what they're like at the end. The story is basically about a bunch of Chickens, doomed to death until Rocky the flying Rooster (voiced by Mel Gibson) flies into the yard one day hiding from his Circus prison. The story evolves to the Chickens' many humorous methods of trying to escape, with lots of takes from movies such as "The Great Escape" in-between. This movie is one of the extremely rare movies that I want to watch again, and again and I plead with you to see it yourself, as then you'll know what I'm raving about!
