Chicken Run

Chicken Run

2000

Greedy farm owner Mrs. Tweedy (voiced by Miranda Richardson) runs her 1950s Yorkshire poultry ranch like a prisoner-of-war camp in this claymation adventure from Aardman Animations. Ginger, the head chicken, tirelessly plots to free the birds from the farm -- which will soon be converted into a chicken pot-pie plant. After several failed attempts, she asks a dashing rooster named Rocky (Mel Gibson) to help her plan the poultry liberation.

From the creators of Wallace & Gromit.
