| | Brian Sibley, Chicken Run: Hatching the Movie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08) |
 | | Brian Sibley, journalist and well-known BBC radio personality, is responsible for writing this beautifully packaged, large-format, coffee-table book about the making of the eagerly-awaited first feature film from Aardman, England's innovative animation studio. |
 | | Just in the nick of time, an American rooster named Rocky arrives on the scene, a feisty ex-circus performer who seems to be able to fly and is persuaded by Ginger to teach this desirable skill to her fellow prisoners and lead a daring escape. |
 | | Sibley, in clear, concise prose devoid of gushing or over-effusiveness, uses extensive interviews to recount how the movie evolved from an idea doodled in a sketchbook to a fully realized feature, revealing the secrets of the model-making shop, the set-design shop and the animation studios -- all profusely illustrated. |
