The chickens at the Tweedy Chicken Farm are up to something in Chicken Run , the wonderful new film from the Academy Award winning creators of Wallace and Gromit . Barbwire surrounds the farm, and Mr. Tweedy patrols with flashlights and dogs at night. Making this film is a gamble, since the public usually associates claymation and the like with Gumby or The California Raisins , but those are ages behind Chicken Run .
Figures move smoothly, and the attention to detail is amazing.
In some scenes, over ten chickens move independently, all with different motions. She succeeds, but wants every chicken to escape with her. Ginger resolves to get Rocky to teach all of them how to fly. What Ginger doesn't know is that Rocky cannot really fly, he is actually a circus chicken. This means that Babs and all her friends are now in mortal danger.
