Aardman’s Groundbreaking Escape to the Movies | Chicken Run Review

[@maplemaple626]

One thing I loved about this film was that Ginger wasn't the usual badassed, tomboyish type of heroine that you usually see in "we have to survive" films where the main character is a girl. She was just a regular, endearing type of character that showed that you don't have to have to be "rough and tough" to be a hero.

[@magnetoonproductions9541]

Aardman and Dreamworks could’ve had a pretty great relationship and partnership. Unfortunately, because of the overnight success of the Shrek franchise, Aardman started to feel the pressure from Dreamworks. When they were making Curse of the Were Rabbit, Dreamworks wanted to Americanize it by using the Shrek formula that was common at the time (toilet jokes, celebrities and pop culture references). Aardman stopped them from doing that, but after Flushed Away, Aardman left Dreamworks for good. If only Dreamworks wasn’t so pushy.

[@TheImaginator972]

Yeah, but right now Aardman Animation is joining with Netflix.

[@JoesAnimationHub]

It was more than that... Katzenburg kept trying to make Aardman go back a redo the animation (much like his Disney days with projects like the Black Cauldron and Aladdin), this one was notorious in in Chicken Run... which began to annoy Aardman, and things RARELY annoyed people at Aardman... and I do mean rarely... Then there was the recasting situation with "Curse of the Were Rabbit" not only due to Katzenburg's obsession to Americanize but the fact he made up excuses that nobody would understand the northern accents of W&G... so as a big middle finger to Katzenburg they made Sallis and Bonham-Carter use the term "Marrow" condescendingly and cast PC Macintosh with Peter Kay, a Bolton comedian who was as northern as they came when it came to being Northern... making the iconic joke of someone committing "Arson" as "Someone 'arson around... (arsing around)"

[@MaxwellCartoons]

It really could have been a Disney-Pixar type partner ship, and if DreamWorks (specifically Katzenberg) wasn't so pushy, Aardman movies could have been doing more better at the box office, as some of their later films made back the same number as their budget. But alas...

[@JavedKhan-lu6po]

Yep Dreamworks kept on milking the series(Shrek) and that's where the series died very quickly(and I Mean very quickly) and that's where Shrek started to get boring,garbage and dead(and i mean very dead) and other films like it.

And DreamWorks made history when Shrek managed to win the _first_ Oscar award for Best Animated Feature, outshining other candidates like "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" and even "Monsters' Inc". *DID YA HEAR THAT, PIXAR!?*

[@TheImaginator972]

They should have made that category back in 1989 after "The Little Mermaid" instead but all of us can truly thanks Aardman animated classic "Chicken Run" for showing the Oscars

[@notchuckproductions5029]

Actually: it was more Jeffery Katzenburg went on a long angery rant to the Academy that their needed to be an animated feature category after the extensive FYC Best picture campaign for chicken run failed. I vividly remember him saying something to the tune of “The only categories animated movies get nominated for are The music ones which no one gives a shit about” or something

[@BigLightning4360]

Thank you very much, AniMat, for not only reviewing my favorite animated movie in my life but what I considered to be Aardman’s best work ever, PERIOD! And for many reasons: 1. A rare occasion where a British animated film included a well-known actor in the United States 2. An example of how animated film can be taken seriously with its tone while having its funny moments 3. Aardman’s only movie that doesn’t rely on butt or fart jokes in their filmography 4. My temporary interest in stop-motion animation until Laika’s “Boxtrolls” teaser trailer revived it 5. A standout from the early computer-animated comedies of Pixar, DreamWorks, and Blue Sky Now, don’t get me wrong. While I still enjoy Bristol’s plasticine clay feature film work, I wish they tone down the juvenile humor that made me a bit uncomfortable at times in “Shaun the Sheep the Movie” and “Early Man” if they plan another theatrical movie in the future. Even after making only five theatrically stop-motion films, like what Laika has done, keep that optimistic spirit going, and thank you for this masterpiece, Aardman Animations!

I speculate that Tweedys farm wasn't too bad a place for the chickens until Mrs Tweedy took over, that Mr Tweedy and his family were actually fairly decent as far as egg farmers go, and while he had gone along with his wife's way of doing things to appease her, Mr Tweedy didn't start hating the chickens until they decided to escape due to the poor conditions.

Anytime is a good time to watch this movie (or just Aardman in general)! One fascinating parallel I've always found with this movie, is with Pocahontas, where the animals were supposed to talk and there was supposed to be a turkey voiced by John Candy, but after Candy's passing, they nixed that idea. So it's kind of a nice twist of irony that Mel Gibson, who acted in Pocahontas, would go on to play a rooster in this movie.

Great timing for this review, as I just watched the movie a week ago and I'm on my yearly Aardman kick.(Which is lasting much more than usual!)

[@commentspae]

i rewatched this because i have been familiar with it the entire time to the extent that "rocky can't fly" is something that i basically always watch knowing yeah in my case the film has aged relatively well, still makes it obvious it's from the actual beginning of the 21st century in many a way however i realise how horribly straightforward it really is like jesus christ. chickens try to escape, farmers won't let them and the farmer preventing them is looked down upon by the other farmer, everyone wants to escape because everyone dies if they are unable to produce eggs, a rooster enters the scene and pretends to know flying because he wants to obnoxiously be the ladies man, his wing is also damaged to prevent him from being able to fly in the event that he can but also so that he is unable to reveal that he can't while everyone's optimism prevents them from seeing the possibility that he is like them and also can't fly, the rooster saves the protagonist from dying due to antagonist vendetta, the rooster encourages everyone else with something outright lyricisied with "fly, i don't care if i die" as if it's any different from what ginger was already telling them about the fact that they WILL die if they don't escape, the rooster abandons everyone following the senior rooster honouring him for said encouragement while also giving everyone the revelation that he actually can't fly only to return upon seeing that everyone is still going to die for the sake of melisha's profits after everyone actually listened to the senior and designed an airborne vehicle from the many huts, the chickens escape and the antagonist is defeated because the chicken is somehow able to hold an entire human in weight which ends up sending her into her own machine which causes it to explode and also gives willard the chance to give her karma for the abuse given throughout the film, the chickens land in a bird sanctuary and take it over. throughout all of THAT, the creators clearly have a bias towards babs by making her airheadedness seem like something so... totally not painful to watch in every scene, even though it is, and also use various british jokes that are way too forced to not just seem awkward i mean there is going to be a sequel so it had better be an upgrade from that

Happy belated 20th anniversary “Chicken Run“

You heard they are planning to make an sequel since two years ago and they'll join with Netflix after DreamWorks.

[@arbytv5139]

@@TheImaginator972 so I’ve heard, and I wish Aardman the best of luck in making it.

Since Wallace & Gromit comes this masterpiece from DreamWorks Pictures and Aardman Studios! As a kid, I am glad I come across this along with Antz at Blockbuster Movies and discovered two titans of DreamWorks! 😃 Childhood at its awesomeness when it comes to that. AniMat, you have my gratitude for this review. Your words about this were magnificent. 😊 Many thanks, my friend. Have a wonderful time and keep your amazing work alive as the animation enthusiast!

[@anthonycollins2383]

What an epic twist ending!

[@Oscar95451]

I think the ending was inspired by Venom: Let there be Carnage mid credit scene

When I was a kid, this movie was pretty much a horror movie for me! I remember one night my brother made us watch this movie, and I was terrified from the start! I actually could sleep that night afterwards!

Chicken Run is the best Aardman movie
