Chicken Run

In the countryside of Yorkshire,{{cite web |title=Poultry in Motion: the Making of Chicken Run |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnvgQ0bMIo0&ab_channel=Gunner%27sEntertainmentShack |access-date=15 March 2023 |website=YouTube |archive-date=15 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230315195504/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnvgQ0bMIo0&ab_channel=Gunner%27sEntertainmentShack |url-status=live }} a flock of chickens live on an egg farm structured like a prisoner-of-war camp. The farm is run by the cruel Mrs Tweedy and her submissive husband, Mr Tweedy, who kill and eat any chicken that is no longer able to lay eggs. Led by the rebellious Ginger, the chickens constantly devise new ways to try to escape but are always caught. Mr Tweedy suspects the chickens are organised and plotting resistance, but his wife dismisses his theories while being frustrated with making minuscule profits.

One night, Ginger sees an American rooster named Rocky Rhodes glide over the farm's fences and crash-land; the chickens put his sprained wing in a cast and hide him from the Tweedys, who have been promised a handsome reward by Rocky's owner for his return. Inspired by Rocky's apparent flying abilities, Ginger begs him to help teach her and the other chickens to fly so they can escape, threatening to turn him in if he refuses. Rocky reluctantly gives them training lessons. One evening, a load of equipment is delivered to the farm, containing the parts for a chicken pie machine that Mrs Tweedy has ordered as part of a plan to convert the farm into a profitable pie-making factory. When the Tweedys increase the chickens' food rations and ignore the decline in egg production, Ginger deduces that the couple's new plan is to fatten the chickens for slaughter. After Ginger and Rocky get into an argument, Rocky holds a morale-boosting dance party during which it is revealed that his wing is healed. Ginger talks Rocky into agreeing to give a flying demonstration the next day. Mr Tweedy finishes assembling the machine and puts Ginger in it for a test run. Rocky saves her and sabotages the machine, buying them time to warn the chickens and plan an escape from the farm.

The next day, Ginger finds Rocky has escaped overnight, leaving behind part of a poster that shows that he is in fact part of a "chicken cannonball" act with no ability to fly on his own, making them realize that their chance to learn how to fly has been crushed. In the midst of being devastated, Ginger is inspired by elderly rooster Fowler's stories of his time in the Royal Air Force to build an aircraft to flee the farm. The chickens assemble parts for the plane as Mr Tweedy fixes the pie-making machine. Meanwhile, Rocky comes across a billboard advertising Mrs Tweedy's chicken pies and returns to the farm out of guilt.

Mrs Tweedy orders Mr Tweedy to gather all the chickens for the machine, but the chickens subdue him and finish the plane, which Ginger persuades Fowler to pilot. As the plane approaches the take-off ramp, Mr Tweedy manages to knock over the ramp before being knocked out; Ginger races to reset the ramp, but a now-alerted Mrs Tweedy attacks her. Before Mrs Tweedy can hurt Ginger, Rocky returns and subdues her, before helping Ginger re-raise the ramp, allowing the plane to take flight. Rocky and Ginger grab onto the runway lights, which have been snagged by the departing plane. An axe-wielding Mrs Tweedy follows them by climbing up the lights, but Ginger tricks Mrs Tweedy into cutting the line, sending her falling into the pie machine, blocking the safety valve and causing the machine to explode in a mushroom cloud of gravy.

The chickens celebrate their victory after defeating the Tweedys while Ginger and Rocky kiss, and they fly to an island bird sanctuary where they make their home. Sometime later, the chickens have settled into their new home, and Rocky and Ginger have continued their romantic relationship. Nick and Fetcher, two rats that have been helping the chickens throughout the escape, decide to set up their own egg farm, but they fall into a circular debate over whether they must use a chicken or egg to start it.

Chicken Run was first conceived in 1995 by Aardman co-founder Peter Lord and Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park. According to Park, the project started as a spoof on the 1963 film The Great Escape.{{cite news|title=Chat with Nick Park and Peter Lord|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2000/07/14/peter_lord_nick_park_article.shtml|publisher=BBC|date=28 October 2014|archive-date=16 December 2019|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20191216084326/http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2000/07/14/peter_lord_nick_park_article.shtml|url-status=live}} Chicken Run was Aardman Animations' first feature-length production, which would be executive produced by Jake Eberts. Nick Park and Peter Lord, who run Aardman, directed the film,{{cite web |author=Weiner, Rex |date=10 April 1997 |url=https://variety.com/1997/scene/vpage/aardman-on-run-1117435154/ |title=Aardman on 'Run' |publisher=Variety |access-date=18 February 2010 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170813013314/http://variety.com/1997/scene/vpage/aardman-on-run-1117435154/ |archive-date=13 August 2017 |url-status=live }} while Karey Kirkpatrick scripted, with additional input from Mark Burton{{citation needed|date=June 2020}} and John O'Farrell.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}

When a chicken speaks, each sound corresponds to a different beak that was placed on the character.{{cite journal |last1=Stempel |first1=Tom |title=Let the Credits Roll: Interviews with Film Crews (review) |journal=Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and Television Studies |date=2004 |volume=34 |issue=2 |pages=95 |doi=10.1353/flm.2004.0048 |s2cid=108235807 }}

Pathé agreed to finance the film in 1996, putting their finances into script development and model design. DreamWorks officially came on board in 1997.{{cite AV media |people=Spall, Timothy |year=2000 |title=Fowl Play: The Making of Chicken Run |publisher=Picture Production }} They beat out studios including Disney, 20th Century Fox (which had distributed many of Aardman's earlier projects, including the Wallace & Gromit shorts, in the U.S.), and Warner Bros. (which had also distributed some of Aardman's earlier projects in the U.S.) and largely won due to the perseverance of DreamWorks co-chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg; as a company they were eager to make their presence felt in the animation market in an attempt to compete with Disney's dominance of the field.{{cite news|last1=Cox|first1=Dan|title=D'Works' feat of clay|url=https://variety.com/1997/film/news/d-works-feat-of-clay-1116678798/|access-date=17 August 2014|work=Variety|date=3 December 1997|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140819090702/http://variety.com/1997/film/news/d-works-feat-of-clay-1116678798/|archive-date=19 August 2014|url-status=live}} Katzenberg explained that he had "been chasing these guys for five or six years, ever since I first saw Creature Comforts." DreamWorks secured their first animated feature with the film, and they handled distribution in all territories except Europe, which Pathé handled. The two studios co-financed the film. DreamWorks also retains rights to worldwide merchandising.

Principal photography began on 29 January 1998. During production, 30 sets were used with 80 animators working along with 180 people working overall. The result was one minute of film completed for each week of filming, and production wrapped on 18 June 1999.

John Powell and Harry Gregson-Williams composed the music for the film, which was released on 20 June 2000 under the RCA Victor label.{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/chicken-run-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-mw0000608937 |title=Chicken Run [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] – John Powell | Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards | AllMusic |website=AllMusic |access-date=20 August 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151210205206/http://www.allmusic.com/album/chicken-run-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-mw0000608937 |archive-date=10 December 2015 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.amazon.com/Chicken-Run-John-Powell/dp/B00004TRTW |title=Amazon.com: Chicken Run: Music |website=Amazon |access-date=11 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141016061844/http://www.amazon.com/Chicken-Run-John-Powell/dp/B00004TRTW |archive-date=16 October 2014 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.soundtrack.net/album/chicken-run/ |title=Chicken Run Soundtrack (2000) |publisher=Soundtrack.Net |access-date=11 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141018125929/http://www.soundtrack.net/album/chicken-run/ |archive-date=18 October 2014 |url-status=live }} It was recorded at the Abbey Road Studios in London.{{cite web |title=Hans Zimmer Website |url=https://hans-zimmer.com/discography/46/project/348 |access-date=19 April 2024 |website=hans-zimmer.com}} Powell incorporated some kazoos and whistles to create an even funnier soundtrack.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave three and a half stars out of four, writing: "So it truly is a matter of life and death for the chickens to escape from the Tweedy Chicken Farm in Chicken Run, a magical new animated film that looks and sounds like no other. Like the otherwise completely different Babe, this is a movie that uses animals as surrogates for our hopes and fears, and as the chickens run through one failed escape attempt after another, the charm of the movie wins us over."{{cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/chicken-run-2000|title=Chicken Run Movie Review & Film Summary (2000) – Roger Ebert|first=Roger|last=Ebert|website=www.rogerebert.com|access-date=5 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107015643/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/chicken-run-2000|archive-date=7 November 2017|url-status=live}}

Chicken Run is a stealth-based 3-D platformer based on the movie. It was released in November 2000 on most consoles. The game is a loose parody of the film The Great Escape, which is set during World War II.{{cite web|url=https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/chicken-run-review/1900-2674949/|title=Chicken Run Review|website=GameSpot|access-date=26 September 2019|archive-date=9 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201109041137/https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/chicken-run-review/1900-2674949/|url-status=live}}
