Dynamic Chicken Run tickles the funny bone
Clay-animated film pits fowl against a foul fate
Erin Dean
Special to the Kansan
They're jailbirds. Cooped up behind barbed wire, fearing for their lives and dreaming of the outside world. They are the chickens of Tweedy's Egg Farm.
Aardman Animation, the creators of the Wallace and Gromit clay-animated short films, present Chicken Run. The story of a group of dynamic chickens, lead by Ginger (Julia Sawalha), determined to fly the coop before they meet a "fowl" fate. Each attempt at escape is thwarted by the evil Mr. Tweedy (Tony Haygarth) and his cantankerous wife Mrs. Tweedy (Miranda Richardson).
Time is running out as Mrs. Tweedy discovers that she can make more money turning chickens into pies than collecting eggs. Enter Rocky Roads (Mel Gibson), a.k.a. the lone free ranger, a.k.a. "Rocky the flying rooster." Rocky lands in the coop with a hurt wing and allows the hens to nurse him back to health and in exchange teaches them to fly—or so they think.
The hens, including Bunty, the egg-
Chicken Run is a mix of dry British humor and American sarcasm. Mel Gibson as the cocky, yet charming American rooster, and Julia Sawalha as the confident British hen have excellent chemistry and produce an interesting culture clash Two minor characters, Nick and Fletcher, two scavenging, coniving rodents, provide hilarious puns as they watch the chickens' attempts at flight.
I give Chicken Run an A+ — 5 stars! It will make you laugh and make you cry (from laughing non-stop). Adults and children alike will enjoy the story of a flock of chickens hatching a plan to see if the grass is, in fact, greener on the other side of the fence.
Rocky and his clucky cohorts flee from the Tweedys' plans to make them into pies. Chicken Run opens this Friday.
