    In the world of Chicken Run, a claymation comedy of audacious charm, we follow Ginger (Julia Sawalha), a hen with an unyielding spirit. She's locked inside Tweedy's Farm, a grim poultry farm in England where chickens who fail to lay eggs meet a sinister fate. When Rocky (Mel Gibson), an American rooster with lofty promises of freedom, crash-lands into the coop, hope stirs among the feathered prisoners. Together, they hatch a plan to escape before Mrs. Tweedy (Miranda Richardson) transforms her farm into a chicken pot pie factory. It's a captivating story of courage and cunning, an animated adventure that humorously echoes The Great Escape.
