Cute and Funny
Rating: 8 of 10 
It may not be a coincidence that the title of 'Chicken Run' rhymes with "fun". For that's the essence of this movie, a joyride of extraordinary proportions; great, intelligent humor mixed with a special cuteness which could rightfully be expected from something by the creators of Wallace and Gromit.
Mel Gibson has a different hero role to speak this time, and he seems to enjoy it every minute. The chicks, however, deserve even more credit. The animation is unbelievable, and you really need to remind yourself that everything you see is made of clay. Great film, great soundtrack, great mixture of tragical and comedic elements. When will we see the next film by Peter Lord and Nick Park?
