Marvelous chickens

Chicken and English accents - what a great combination! This is a wonderful, fun and entertaining movie that keeps even the most "mature" adult giggling with delight. The story is simple and the ending obvious, but who cares when the dialogs and the humor are so wonderful. The animation is striking with the chicken and human characters made out of clay, while some of the nature scenes seem truly realistic. And who would have thoughts that chickens can have such cute and interesting personalities. There is the heroic chicken, the fearful chicken, the nerdy chicken, the dumb chicken and two very amusing roosters. It is truly enjoyable to see the chickens argue about Americans vs British, working hard to lay eggs and meet their work quota, dancing the night away and searching for their own communal piece of chicken heaven. Many of the themes are taken from "classic" escape movies, such as the spirit to escape together and leave no one behind, the various attempts to do so, the planning, the great idea, the nerve-wrecking escape that almost does not seem to work and finally the enjoyment of having worked together to find chicken freedom at a bird sanctuary. (I hope I did not give away too much, but this movie is truly about dialogs and adapted scenes.)
I would caution that adults watch this movie together with their children, as there are a couple scenes referencing death and the fear of death. One chicken is killed and later seen as bones on the dinner tables. The other scary part is a chicken pie machine that looks like a big living monster and creates all sorts of noises, has fire chambers and levers that seem to be over-sized and impossible to escape for any chicken that is stuck in it. This is definitely a child friendly movie, but adults may want to speak about some of the scenes with their children. If you are not on your feet yet, I urge you to "run" and get this "chicken" flick. |
