An original idea and some funny moments but it's not as good as curse of were-rabbit, but it's better than flushed away.

Clay is the best form of animation, as I'm glad that lots of people would agree. Yet i'm not into this kind of movie, but it was hilarious and it was claymation after all.

I never did like this movie. It has a really awkward story and it clay animation style is not to my liking, while it is not a bad movie it is not my type of movie, so I can not recommend it.

It looks like whenever the critics like a movie, I dislike it. I think that the storyline was pretty lame, and I never did actually like the movie. The animation was terrible, I don't like that style, however there were sure some good and funny bits that deserve the film a three stars and a half, if it was not for that, I will give it one or two, I just did not like it.

Chicken Run is just great. Another classic from Aardman and the creators of Wallace & Gromit. I laughed the whole way through and the chickens are absolutely hilariou!

  It's aimed at adults as much as children, with jokes that work on multiple levels, and contraptions.

  Doesn't try to cram messages of uplift down its audience's gullet. It's a great eggscape from banality.

  Never loses its priceless stamp of individuality. Reduced to its essence, this is a joke told by a person, not a corporation--and that makes all the difference.

  It starts quietly, introducing its splendid gallery of fowl, rats and humans, then builds and builds until it achieves full comic liftoff.

  Technically superb and witty in an old-fashioned, veddy British way that will delight many adults but will sail over the heads of young audiences.

  Finally, there's a female action hero for the summer of 2000, and she's a . . . chicken. But a chicken to believe in.
