Chicken Run
A movie that's certainly all it's cracked up to be, "Chicken Run" is one eggs-traordinary piece of stop motion animation that is sure to have you clucking and chuckling.
For those familiar with the Wallace and Gromit animated shorts, the spectacular claymation techniques of Nick Park and Peter Lord are nothing new. For those not, get ready to be astounded at the rich detail of this refined classic art called stop motion, and with the wonderful look behind the scenes included on the DVD, you will truly gain an appreciation for the immense work and commitment involved.
Starring the voice talent of Mel Gibson as Rocky Rooster, we find ourselves at Tweedy's Chicken Farm, where tired of being "cooped" up, a local chicken, Ginger, fills her bird brain with thoughts of freedom. However, with as many failures as attempts, all hope is nearly lost until the answer literally falls from the sky, Rocky the flying rooster.
Now determined to fly the coop with Rocky teaching them to spread their wings, it is a race against time as the fowl Mrs. Tweedy begins construction of a chicken pie machine. Unfortunately Rocky holds a dark secret, he nor any other chicken can really learn to fly.
A delight for all ages, the film is a true visual masterpiece, both egg-travagant and egg-citing.
The disc is single sided - dual layered and contains the original widescreen version of the movie. The mastering is excellent, as are the many extras.
