	Chicken Run (2000): Reviews
		Chicken Run is a wonderful movie for both children and adults.
		Chicken Run keeps both the style and the heart of the Wallace and Gromit series, but features chickens as the main characters.
		The youngest children (like my 4-year-old) might be scared by an off-screen beheading of one of the chickens and some of the tense chase scenes, but other than that the movie has lots of harmless fun and several gently-applied messages about perseverance and loyalty.

	DVD Verdict Review - Chicken Run
		Tweedy's Chicken Pies." The installation of a monstrous automated pie-making machine lends an even greater urgency to Ginger's escape attempts, as all of the chickens are now doomed to be baked in a flaky pastry crust with gravy and mixed vegetables.
		Chicken Run was conceived as an absurdist spin on the great WWII prison camp movies, notably Stalag 17 and The Great Escape.
		Chicken Run gets these seemingly mundane, technical aspects of moviemaking exactly right, and as a result is able to create a believable, if strange, reality.

	Chicken Run DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		Set at a seedy chicken farm in rural England (the time period is foggy), 'Chicken Run' immediately introduces us to determined heroine Ginger as she tries to lead a few other hens out of bondage and into freedom.
		Put a chicken in one end, add vegetables and gravy, and out come the "home made" pies at the other end.
		'Chicken Run' is one of those movies that seems good while watching it -- but even better the more you think about it, so you will be hungry for another viewing just hours after the first.

	IGN: Chicken Run Review
		Some are simple arcade challenges, like firing chickens latched onto fireworks through windows or catapulting chickens onto floating boats (and in a sick twist, if you land two chickens on one boat, one knocks the other off the sinking float), but the handling is almost entirely unique in the game for these ordinary games.
		Chicken Run doesn't have that immediacy in the low-res sound effects and weak key sounds.
		All told, the gameplay of Chicken Run is innovative and exciting to play through, and since expectations were probably fairly low anyway (who puts faith in a kid's game to be great), it's a pleasant surprise.

	dOc treehouse: Chicken Run (2000)
		Chicken Run is the best kind of animated movie, a film that is as funny to kids as it is to adults.
		The reason Chicken Run works so well is due largely to the fact that the claymation isn't as eye-popping as most animated films tend to be these days.
		Chicken Run isn't as loaded with extras as either of those films, but what is here is worth a look.

	DVD Review - Chicken Run (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		With time a matter of grave importance, the chickens have to band together and hatch what must finally be a successful plan or risk ending up embedded in dough on the aisle of a grocery store.
		The first and longer of the two, is called ’Poultry in Motion: the Making of Chicken Run’ and spends a lot of time with the actors and going over the story and offers some basic information on the animation process, recording the foley effects, and composing the score.
		The second featurette, called ’Hatching Chicken Run’ is a bit of a let down because it repeats some of the same video and sound bytes from the other featurette, but does, however, spend more time with the directors, talking about the history of Aardman and the process of getting ’Chicken Run’ off the ground.

	Hollywood Gothique: Chicken Run (2000) Review
		CHICKEN RUN, conversely, tends to rely on the overall narrative to hold our attention, even when individual scenes aren’t always popping out at us with clever bits of business.
		Nevertheless, CHICKEN RUN is a triumph of the stop-motion technique coupled with a fairly sophisticated story that is accessible to children without being childish in tone.
		The CHICKEN RUN DVD is loaded with bonus features, including an informative audio commentary by directors Nick Park and Peter Lord, who provide lots of behind-the-scenes anecdotes and also do an admirable job of crediting the various animators who toiled so hard on specific scenes.

		There are no characters as memorable as Wallace or Gromit in Chicken Run, and the film drags just a tad in the middle, but these are forgivable shortcomings when the material is so hilarious.
		There is a scene in which a chicken gets the axe offscreen, but other than that, Chicken Run is wholly appropriate for young children, and parents yearning for a respite from sloppily-animated drivel featuring an annoying yellow Japanese dog, or whatever the heck Pikachu is, are particularly encouraged to go.

	Chicken Run (2000): Voices of Mel Gibson, Julia Sawalha, Miranda Richardson, Jane Horrocks - PopMatters Film Review
		Chicken Run is, nonetheless, an old-fashioned edge-of-your-seat escape flick.
		Chicken Run is the first feature to come from Aardman Animation's star director Nick Park, creator of the Wallace and Gromit cartoons as well as the splendid (and aptly foreshadowing) short film, "Creature Comforts," in which the residents of a zoo are interviewed regarding their living arrangements.
		Not that Chicken Run has any big surprises in store: with the basic set-up, evident from the TV trailers, you know full well that the movie doesn't end with all our heroes in gravy on the local supermarket shelves.

		The next time we were there again watching, I noticed that when they took the chicken halves off the grill they immediately wrapped them in aluminum foil, put them in an empty potato chip can, and sat the can next to the grill to keep them warm.
		We didn't call this ride the Chicken Run at that time because there was no chicken to be had.

		The imprisoned chickens of Tweety’s Farm have to lay their daily egg quota, or become dinner.
		The setting is a British barnyard where the chickens are determined to escape their fate and literally fly the coop.
