Critics Consensus

Chicken Run has all the charm of Nick Park's Wallace & Gromit, and something for everybody. The voice acting is fabulous, the slapstick is brilliant, and the action sequences are spectacular.

Dejan Jotanovic Bitch Media Chicken Run, if anything, offers an alternative to a desolate world that many of us are increasingly afraid of. Mar 15, 2021 Full Review Rebecca Hawkes Daily Telegraph (UK) Its plump chickens maintain that strange, haptic quality that makes you yearn to reach out and squeeze them. Rated: 5/5 Jul 20, 2015 Full Review Anthony Lane The New Yorker Even without Wallace and Gromit, most of the trademark joys are here: the compound of squashy creatures and heavy machinery, the wide, open-ended rictus of a toothy smile, and the great Parkian gulp. Jul 20, 2015 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) On one hand, the Toy Story of stop-motion animation. It’s an absolute masterpiece. On the other hand, how did the Tweedys not notice the chickens were wearing clothes and jewelry? Dec 6, 2023 Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof With a scene-stealing ensemble, the characters shine for their charisma and are led by two protagonists with hilarious chemistry. [Full review in Spanish] Jan 9, 2023 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) So great. Rated: 9/10 Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Carlos AWSOME! Even tho i fell asleep…. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/22 Full Review Ryland C A prison escape movie with chickens?!? Hell yes! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Niklas L A masterpiece. Clay-powered stop motion meets anthropomorphic chickens, evil humans, comedy, action, scottish (?) accents, and a chicks-led cast. What is not to like about this movie? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Dominic C This is one of the best DreamWorks and the best Aardman movies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Adri S Esta bien, buena película. Lo que me aburre es que en toda le película se empeñan en que las gallinas tienen que volar. Prefiero Wallace y Gromit. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review MrEpic 1 Oh my God this movie is a masterpiece! From it's serious and dark tone to it's animation that still holds up to this day to its characters. All of this makes it one of my favorite movies of all time. Definitely watch it. You will not regret it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
