Great family entertainment. Love how these dear lady chickens decide they need to escape Mrs. Potters chicken pies and soon too. Well along comes a Lone Chicken and he helps. Watch this one for great fun and see how they manage. Loved it.

This is really cute cartoon movie for adults. The storyline is about chickens on an egg-laying English farm. The place is run like a prison, and those chickens who don't produce eggs wind up in the stew pot! Owned by Mrs. Tweedy, she decides that there isn't enough profit in eggs, so she buys a machine for making chicken pies! It now becomes a life and death situation for all of the chickens and they begin to plot an escape. Imagine this movie on a parallel with the WWII movie, "The Great Escape", as the great chicken caper develops for a massive escape to freedom. This is a funny movie.
"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way..." This film so poignantly illustrates Pink Floyd's adage. And who says that poultry can't have their little niche in realm of dry wit? Surreal to an almost ridiculous degree, but the makers of this beautiful story keep it hemmed in just right before going overboard. Ginger pays homage to Steve Mcqueen's character in "The Great Escape," when time after time in solitary, she wiles her moments away bouncing a ball. Mel Gibson's Rocky is so well developed, I wonder if he missed his calling as a veterinarian. But fowler proved himself once again by unwittingly providing the chickens' last and best hope of escaping the Tweedy's camp, er farm that is. I took my daughter to see this movie when it first came out. Now my six year son watches it with such relish. I am a grown man, but I really have a soft spot for films such as this one. I have yet to grow tired of it. I hope you can enjoy it half as much. So many movies these days are such a waste of time to watch. It's nice to see one that doesn't do that. The added bonus is having watched it time and again with my children.Read full review
This is one of the best all around entertaining movies you can find for the whole family! It is a wonderful spoof of the very excellent academy award winning film, THE GREAT ESCAPE with Steve McQueen. This movie keeps your interest and entertains at the same time. Get ready for 1hr 24 mins of enjoyment. Roger Ebert gives it a 2 thumbs up. Roger that Roger. I give it 5 stars! Cindyspirit
