Having been hopelessly repressed and facing eventual certain death at the chicken farm where they are held, Rocky the rooster and Ginger the chicken decide to rebel against the evil Mr. and Mrs. Tweedy, the farm\'s owners. Rocky and Ginger lead their fellow chickens in a great escape from the murderous farmers and their farm of doom. The by now legendary film was the first animated feature by Aardman Studios, the creators of Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. Chicken Run does not hide its inspiration in the classic prison-break epic The Great Escape, and turns it in an endlessly entertaining and inventive film.
