Chickens! 
2008-10-03
Great fun for the whole family. The kids will watch it over and over. And you will find yourself watching it with them. Every time! And it seems like every time you will find something new to laugh at. Great movie. 5 stars!
Disney has got a serious rival 
2008-09-12
I saw this movie yesterday with its original dialogue, and I must say that I was stunned. The creators who made the "Wallace & Gromtit"-shorties have gone and delivered what has got to be one of the best movies of this year and one of the best animated-films ever. This film looks fantastic, the voices are perfect, the setting is brilliantly created and the atmosphere of the chicken-farm in the 1950`s England is perfect. This is an animated film, that will be loved by kids and adults alike. It is also a good and interesting story that is excellently told, and this keeps you glued until the end.
Fantastic service by seller 2008-08-30
The seller immediately shipped the purchased VHS tape to me in near-new condition as advertised. I previewed the tape prior to giving it to our grandson a week from Monday for his 7th birthday. He loves to view our copy when he comes to visit grandpa and grandma and now he will have his own to enjoy.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a bunch of dimwitted chickens in a makeshift aircraft! Who knew chickens could organize and outwit humans? Veddy British and utterly charming, Chicken Run will make you think about freedom, friendship, loyalty, determination, courage, dignity and tasty chicken pies with mixed vegetables. Hilarious and touching. Watch the making-of documentary to get an idea of the tremendous effort that went into the making of this claymation masterpiece.
Chickens on the Run 2008-06-03
After their huge success with Creature Comforts and the Wallace & Gromit shorts, Nick Park and Peter Lord ventured out into the world of full-length features. Using the same style of animation that they'd established with W&G, they decided to create a spoof of old wartime prison escape films. The result is the featherbrained caper known as Chicken Run.
Life on the Tweedys' farm was never easy. Mrs. Tweedy was a cruel woman and her husband a paranoid fool. He insisted that the chickens were planning elaborate escapes. And he was right. A plucky hen named Ginger was organizing the other hens in repeated attempts to fly the coop. But her plans were being foiled time and time again. Until one day a rowdy American rooster named Rocky came soaring into their mundane lives. They had grown tired of being forced to lay eggs and being killed for food if they failed to produce. Maybe this rooster could teach them to fly. But he wasn't what he appeared to be. Meanwhile Mrs. Tweedy had become impatient and discovered that she could make greater profits if she simply killed the chickens. She buys a horrible pie-making machine and this urges the chickens to unite and form a proper escape plan. Everything seems to be looking up until Rocky disappears and Ginger is once again forced to save her companions.
Chicken Run has much of the same visual style as other Aardman films and shorts, but it's unique for its humor, which is more accessible in America than most of their previous television endeavors. The voice cast is fantastic, especially Mel Gibson (before he lost his mind) as Rocky. All in all, Chicken Run is a whimsical adventure for children of all ages.
The DVD features a commentary track, two behind the scenes featurettes, a hilarious screaming chicken Panic Button, and much more including facts about the film, which are hidden throughout the menus.

NUNCA DEJAR DE CREER NI DE SOÑAR!!! 2007-07-06
Una pelicula de esas que dan un mensaje tan profundo que cala hasta el fondo del corazon; la recomiendo a todos aquellos que tienen SUEÑOS, IDEALES, ESPERANZAS y LUCHAN POR SUPERARSE A PESAR DE LAS ADVERSIDADES; una pelicula aparentemente para niños, pero con una GRAN MORALEJA PARA LOS ADULTOS; ¡¡que frase tan magica es la de Ginger, la gallina protagonista cuando dice: "SI LAS PROBABILIDADES DE SALVARNOS SON UNA EN UN MILLON, HAY ESPERANZA"!!; las gallinas mismas nos enseñan a NUNCA RENDIRSE CUANDO SE TIENE UNA META DEFINIDA, y nos damos cuenta de todo lo que tuvieron que hacer para salir de su prision (el gallinero), pasando por un fracaso tras otro y siempre persistiendo... deberiamos imitar la forma de pensar de estos plumiferos, sobre todo los ideales de Ginger.
Chicken Run has such an wonderful message of hope. 2007-06-12
Chicken Run came out when I had been laid off from my job and while I thoroughly enjoyed the film, I was also boosted by it's tremendous message of hope. Ginger Chicken replied to the comment "Our chances are one-in-a-million" with "Then there's still a chance." The story is so great and the characters so well crafted, in all the times I've seen the movie, I never find myself focusing on the production using clay-mation. One of these days, I'll have to watch it purely to marvel at what it must have taken to create it. I love the cleverly placed references to other prison movies, to Indiana Jones and to Star Trek. Whenever I am feeling despondent or beginning to feel there's no hope, I always return to Chicken Run and those plucky little chickens who just wouldn't give up.
But I don't want to be a pie! 2007-06-10
A absolutely wonderful claymation that will have you cheering for Ginger and her coop of delightful chickens. Once again, I'm drawn to another story about the great fight for freedom...despite the fact I'm salivating for a nice chicken salad as I type this. This movie is a great family film and one you won't mind watching again and again. Highly recommended.
