Glad you enjoyed! Yeah it's a very bizarre situation, lead roles are generally only recast if the actor is no longer available, deemed too expensive, or involved in some kind of controversy. This is the first instance I've ever heard of an original actor being denied a role in a sequel for seemingly no reason.

That excuse about Julia's age was utter bullshit. And hypocritical too. Some of the other cast members from the first film are in their 60's. Imelda Staunton (Bunty) and Miranda Richardson (Mrs Tweedy) Julia is only 55. Yet Jane Horrocks returned as Babs. She's 59.

Great video as always. Even though I enjoyed the story of Chicken Run 2 and think that Aardman did a great job at resurrecting the characters, I do prefer the first movie. Simply for the reason of there being less jokes and better timing thereof. In my opinion Chicken Run 2 looked too clean and vibrant. Especially the "Squid Game Playground" felt very out of place.

Thank you, I'd definitely agree with those points! "Clean and vibrant" might be to do with them cleaning up shots with CGI in post, giving everything a slightly artificial look - which is a shame. The atmosphere of the original film remains unmatched!

One thing I was joking about is that Mrs Tweedy actually looks a little… YOUNGER in this one, that if she was smart, she could have made bank on the gravy-based skin care treatment. But yeah, I was surprised that she survived falling into the nugget processor- they have her come out covered in breading in one piece and I’m like “NO- NO WAY SHES STILL ALIVE!” But I guess that could of been too horrifying. XD But I agree with you, the original chicken run IS better, but the second is still nice and I genuinely enjoyed it. … oh yeah, also I was cringing at the rats almost falling into the processor- cause that… ugh… has actually happened before.
