The animated film, Chicken Run, directed by Peter Lord and Nick Park is one of the major hits of 2000. It has already bagged a Golden Globe nomination and a number of other awards and nominations. The film is a comic drama and set in the Yorkshire of England in the 1950s’.

The film portrays the romance between two farm bred chickens, Rocky and Ginger. These two chickens yearn for freedom and hit upon an escape plan as seen in the movies. The chicken farm is known as the Tweedy Egg Farm. Ginger is one of the chickens in this farm who is desperate to flee the farm but is always let down by her incompetent partners. She is extremely capable of fleeing the farm but bad luck does not seem to desert her.

However Ginger, the leader of the chicken family, hatches one plan after another to escape from the farm but all meets disastrous results as he is always let down by his companions. One night a chicken gets axed in the farm and this leaves Ginger unhappy. He is wandering in the farm when suddenly he notices a rooster crashing on to the farm. He introduces himself as a member of the nearby circus and his name is Rocky.

Rocky begins training Ginger and in the process does not miss an opportunity to irritate Ginger and Officer Fowler. A lot of funny incidents take place in the farm and slowly but steadily a romance brews between Rocky and Ginger. On the other side of the story, the Tweedys’ purchased a machine to make chicken pies. Mr Tweedy had grand plans to convert all the chickens into juicy pies. Ginger was now panicked. She, along with her friends, needs to flee the farms as soon as possible. The sequences of events that follow are really funny and you need to watch the film to really enjoy it. I am not going to give away the ending and spoil the fun for you.

The Chicken Run movie is a real classy entertainer. It is a real family entertainer and should be enjoyed by all in the family. There is a healthy mix of humor and intellectual parodies that lifts the flick above all the other animation movies produced in the decade. The dialogues in the film are very good and a special mention must be made of all the voice givers given in the movie. Mel Gibson is the voice of Rocky and he is simply outstanding. We get to hear some outstanding voice modulations that will really surprise you. Julia Sawalha is the voice of Ginger and you need to watch the movie just to appreciate her wonderful work. Actually the film leaves very little scope for criticism.

If you really hell bent on finding some fault in this movie then you can point to the animated chicken characters. The animated characters do not really look like the actual chickens. But this hardly makes any difference to the uniqueness or novelty of the film.

This is a movie which you never miss. It is true that people will enjoy watching this movie at theaters but if you are hard pressed for time you can watch Chicken Run online free right from your bedroom.
