I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2024 MOVIE CHALLENGE
WEEK 5: AN ANIMATED MOVIE
Description: Having pulled
off an escape from Tweedy’s farm, Ginger (Thandie Newton) has found a peaceful
island sanctuary for the whole flock. But back on the mainland the whole of chicken-kind
faces a new threat, and Ginger and her team decide to break in.
Review: “Chicken Run”(2000) was already an obvious allegory for humanity is its
own enemy. With chickens seeking to escape their fate, ending up as chicken
patties. Those chickens, of course, are anthropomorphic beings with a soul and
a consciousness. Created by Aarman Animations, known for its quirky stop-motion
films. A company I have always loved and appreciated.
“Chicken Run: Dawn of the
Nugget: is a sequel to the original.
Ginger and Rocky are back, now with a child named Molly. After escaping from
the chicken farm from the first film, they have created a paradise for
themselves and all the other chickens on an island. And no humans to be found.
Molly, as the curious young girl she is, wants to know more about the ‘outside
world’ and escapes the island to see it for herself. Where she ends up at a
strange facility, with danger on the lookout.
“Chicken Run: Dawn of the
Nugget” doesn’t really add anything to the original, because it’s much of the
same. But it’s fun, entertaining and witty. Aardman’s style still stands out and there are plenty
of jokes. It feels primarily as a gesture to the fan, who may have been
yearning for a sequel. It’s just a very enjoyable film, and you will enjoy it
if you did the first.
Rating: 3/ 5
