Everyone Is Sleeping On Chicken Run!

Use my exclusive link here cen.yt/TradeBi... to get your first bag from Trade Coffee for free.
Today we talk about Chicken Run. A movie that is nothing short of a masterpiece. Yet for some reason it seems like no one ever talks about this movie. So I am going to show you why this movie is good and the subtle references to woman's rights, capitalism, and other things of that nature.

I FLEW!" and then a few scenes later when she stops laying eggs she goes into full depression mode. She was saying crap like "Aah my life flashed before my eyes" and stuff.

I think people turned a blind eye to these movies because it's claymation(being regarded as an out of date animation style). Thus Dreamworks stopped making any more(not to mention stop motion required more time, money & energy to animate), the last I think is Pirates: Band of Misfits(a very charming movie actually). Back to Chicken Run, this movie's dark comedy is a joy to watch. I can never forget the line "my life flashed before my eyes, it's very boring". 🤣

Last one is actually “early man” I believe. I’m not sure when it was made.

Actually Aardman (the company who made Chicken Run, and who also made Wallace and Gromit) made another claymation movie after The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists. It's called Early Man, and it's pretty good too. Granted Aardman normally produces pretty good movies.

7:14 Something that I realized about that scene was that not only did it set up Mrs. Tweety as the villain, but it also illustrated how desperate some of the chickens were getting. It may not seem that way at first but here's how. The big red chicken mentions that the chicken getting offed didn't tell anyone that she did not lay any eggs. You'd think that she would so that her friends could help her out and she could keep living, but that's the thing... She didn't want to. She figured that getting offed sooner would be better than living her life in the farm with the little hope that she can escape that life and eventually raise her children.

[@Snowfang00andco]

Yes! Someone who has the same theory as me about the chicken that dies, she had given up trying to live because she saw no way out. It's kinda depressing.

[@DogsandPennies]

Just a small note. None of the eggs were fertilised so they’d never turn into chicken. They’re the equivalent of a human period, not of newborns.

[@alyssatomancik1215]

Its actually based off of "The Great Escape" a bunch of WW2 PWS tried to escape a prisoner camp and i think the all got caught (except for one or two) and then the Nazis killed 50 of the escapees. I don't know the entire number of men who tried to escape I just know how many were killed

[@StoryMing]

“Unlikeable”? Rocky? That’s a bit harsh, IMO. Yes, Rocky could and should have told them the truth sooner; however... it was either continue the lie (which he didn’t start), and pretend to be what they assumed he was, or admit he couldn’t help, and get turned in and handed back over to the circus (which one gets the idea is little better than Tweedy’s Farm). I can understand why Rocky did what he did. It wasn’t that he plotted to scam them; it was from his point of view a matter of survival. And for whatever it’s worth- he DID honestly try to tell Ginger, right before he left. ...He just couldn’t bring himself to say it.

Rocky's actually adorable ^u^ and he IS the main focus, technically. I mean, the broken-wing thing? He was a chicken so it didn't make a difference but because they thought he could fly they treated him like a king (except for Ginger and Fowler)

[@g.Raider]

People are getting hyped about the sequel, and so am I, but I at least equally want a prequel about Rocky. There’s so many more subtleties about him the more I watch him in this movie, including and especially his offended reaction when Ginger accuses him of not being able to care about anyone as a lone free ranger. They could show flashbacks in Dawn Of The Nugget, but I don’t want that if it takes away from the main story. Rocky deserves his own solo film and I want it.

[@conspiracypanda1200]

Fathers abandoning their kids is the worst because the stereotype they have created has real far reaching consequences. For instance: -It can make people wrongly believe that all mothers are inherently better childcarers than fathers, even in cases where the mother is _clearly_ the more irresponsible parent and the kids would be better off with their Dad. -The way that women pursue and act within relationships can be affected by a fear that their partner might flee from them the moment kids enter the equasion, forcing them into single motherhood because it's more commonly expected of women to bear the burden of childcare than men, ultimately leading to power imbalances and abusive relationships. (This goes both ways with one option being the man taking advantage of the woman's insecurities, the other being the woman becoming manipulative and controlling to try and entrap a man in a relationship). -Fathers get ridiculed for doing things as simple as _actually being present_ and caring for their kids, which is a totally backwards and weird thing to discourage a parent from being and further isolates men physically and emotionally when they deserve just as much love and happiness as anyone else.

[@KeeperOfUntoldDreams]

I was, like, five years old when I first watched this movie and that chop scene floored me.

Chicken run was my favourite movie when I was younger, I would watch it on my vcr all the time! Best British movie ever

*”Relax, we’re making progress”* *”Really? I can’t help but feel we’re going around in circles”* There are way too many best lines in this movie.

[@katzmfcat8661]

I blame this movie for making me a vegetarian. I loved and was terrified of this movie as a kid

[@felixgiannerini7485]

I remember watching this as a kid and being terrified. Then going back and watching it as a teenager and loving it.

[@BugsyFoga]

Since when , I always hear people talk about Chicken Run .

[@trinaq]

As they should, a lot of my peers still speak fondly of this flick, so they certainly haven't forgotten it!

[@dee_is_tired]

this movie marked my childhood in a very specific way i barely remember it but it makes me so incredibly nostalgic Chicken Run fucking slaps dude

[@PetiteChevalAmie]

I was a bit traumatized by this movie solely by the part of when the hen got butchered. Yet I was fine with all the other creepy shit shows consisted of back then. Animal dies? Nah I can’t even.

[@tornadodee148]

Me too, the scene when they cut the hen's head off traumatized me in a sad way. Ms Tweedy going insane and losing her shit in the climax really spooked me out as a child tho.

[@zenkim6709]

Between this movie & "Curse of The Were Rabbit" it's almost as if Aardman was low-key nudging its audience into giving up eating meat (chicken, rabbit) or at least consider the proposition as a legit choice. As a 100% pure vegetarian, I approve this message.

watched this movie when i was a kid. it was so freaking great i don't remember it being this dark-

[@arianabell9351]

Mrs. Tweety to me as a child was just as terrifying as Hopper from a bugs life. She was scary in her presence and introduction, and she looked scary. Also both of their deaths frightened me as a kid.

[@alyssatomancik1215]

Fun fact - chicken run is based off of the "Great Escape". Basically a bunch of ww2 prisoners of war tried escaping a prisoner camp, but all of them got captured (i believe one or two made it out). The Nazis ended up killing 50 of the escapees (i believe a bit over hundred tried escaping).

[@IknowIamkindagreat]

Generally movies that win Oscars are not underrated, which this one did.

[@jackmarshall3255]

Did you hear of the chicken that laid eggs in winter. She was no spring chicken. Sorry for bad joke saw chicken in video and want to make this joke.

[@allystitcheskurta]

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid and to this day. It also got me fascinated with claymation.

[@nicholasgarrett742]

Got this movie as a Christmas present when I was a kid. Watched it so many times, the tape fucked up.

[@hiitsme882]

Just watched this with my dad a few weeks ago. Fuckin love this shit. The death at the beginning and the weird ‘cut her head off’ scene at the end were the only things I had remembered vividly from when I saw it as a kid.

[@jillianc7485]

i wouldn’t call her a “trad wife” … seems more like she’s just a gold digger. edit: a *mean* gold digger at that. trad wife literally means “traditional wife,” aka they’re homemakers and some-what subservient to the husband. just fyi.

[@BionicPIGtv]

I agree with you to an extent but the idea of a trad wife leads women to want to marry rich so the man can pay for them while they do the house work. Its not necessarily that she is a trad wife but she is a product of people wanting to be a trad wife.

[@questionablecarnage1469]

@@BionicPIGtv wouldn’t that be more the aspect of being rich to be happy in general? Otherwise the whole shift away from trad-wife would have lead to little to no women going for money in relationships. However it’s still heard about all the time.

[@PukingPanda]

@@BionicPIGtv also a gold digger would 100% leave if they found out their money was drying up whilst Mrs tweedy was still trying to find a way to make money With him.

[@Sheriden.]

I don’t think there is anything wrong with being a trad wife….. as a women I wouldn’t feel “Subservient” to my Significant other.

[@declaracionespolemicas]

@@Sheriden. You're right, it shouldn't have to be subservient, it can be an equal exchange of work. Someone does necessary work around the house, and takes care of the children if they have any, and someone works outside the house to bring money to the home, pay the bills, etc. Also, people ignore that the husband has to enslave himself on his job and work a sh*t ton of hours to provide for the whole family, yet no one would call that subservient? Why is there such a blatant double standard?

[@somebodysomewhere5571]

“That’s what a lot of dads do” What a terribly sexist remark

[@clowinghours9604]

Chicken Run is amazing. I love it so much. Aardman really popped off with it and I cannot wait to see what they do with the sequel. I could talk about chicken run for such a long time, the absolute beauty of the story and the characterisation and the design. It's pretty interesting how they made it too. The puppets were actually quite big

[@ItzRetz]

Broooo this was one of my go-to movies as a kid and I had completely forgotten about it until now! Movies with this type of animation were so sick! Flushed away, Wallace & Gromit, & this were all awesome, it's sad that no movies nowadays use this animation style.

[@BlueCatarex]

I have very vague memories of watching this movie when I was little, but only once. I feel like, in some way, it traumatized me, so maybe I'll rediscover why.

[@KitKatIIX]

To make this even more dark, the old chicken was the only male chicken there before rocky 😂

[@drizzle1382]

I'm so dead. Coffee Chris is my favorite character in the Bionic Pig Cinematic Universe.

Chicken run is so popular, everyone i can think of recognizes it as a classic masterpiece

[@airotiv7916]

This is why I LOVE YOU BIONIC PIG! Not only do you bring back the memories, but you defend these underrated classics! This was just freaking amazing 😍💜

[@susumuaoki422]

Chicken Run is my treasured memory. It was a film I choose to watch, bought a ticket and went to the cinema all by myself - a memorable achivement for a shy kid (up to keeping used ticket in candy bar I got as a snack to the movie as a memory)

[@declaracionespolemicas]

I rolled my eyes as well. Humanity has been hungry for power since the dawn of time, greed is practically a trait of human nature. Whether it's by capitalism or communism, or whatever other system, the ones who are in the top with all the power are the same. Is it the fault of the system that some people are corrupt, or the fault of the corrupt for corrupting every system ever created?

I remember always loving the chicken who nits. I loved her so much that my mom bought me a knitting kit every Christmas. My parents called me their little chicken. They would then ask me if I recognized the bodies in the water.... the bodies in the water... the bodies.. If I recognized bodies in the water... The water...

So you said the only good thing he does was throw a party, bit isn't him risking his life to help save the main "chick" (pun intended) something good?

[@turkuyaren]

my dad still knows every line of this movie, because as a 3 year old I was obsessed with it along with shrek. He never got bored of them either. He says we had a period where we would watch those 2 movies every single day. Bless his heart.

I loved Chicken Run and I loved Wallace and Gromit.

I literally watched this last night, it's very underrated

[@No1ofConsequence]

I think it was a bit unfair to just say that dads are the ones who leave when things get hard. My mom was the one that left and my dad worked 2-3 jobs at a time just to support me and my sisters.

Yessss chicken run, supremacy! Always thought it was better than little chicken

[@Alexander59059]

I feel like you’re finding messages in this movie that simply aren’t there.

[@SkaaKruOfficial]

I had the DVD and it had a convenient button called the "Panic Button" which was literally a snippet of them screaming after the butch one goes "LOSE OUR HEADS?!" That button absolutely decimated me 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀

I always thought as a kid that Mr. Tweety was just Mrs. Tweety’s henchman. Not a married couple.

DUDE I loved Chicken Run as a kid (chicken little doesn't even deserve capitalization). But I'm so glad you pointed out the symbolism. I would never have thought about it. Brb... Putting it on the list of things to rewatch with my partner.
