Synopsis

The creators of Wallace & Gromit bring you an exciting and original story about a group of chickens determined to fly the coop–even if they can’t fly! It’s hardly poultry in motion when Rocky attempts to teach Ginger and her feathered friends to fly…but, with teamwork, determination and a little bit o’ cluck, the fearless flock plots one last attempt in a spectacular bid for freedom.

It's aimed at adults as much as children, with jokes that work on multiple levels, and contraptions.

That rare movie, a clever and unabashedly fun adventure that has as many winning moments as it has hen's teeth -- which is quite a lot.

Poetry in motion: It's eggsquisite.

Chicago Reader
A scene set inside the chicken-pie-making machinery proves that the Rube Goldberg formula is infallible.

Rolling Stone
It may sound silly, but Lord and Park conjure up a world of visual miracles.

Chicago Sun-Times
Not only funny and wicked, clever and visually inventive, but . . . kind and sweet. Tender and touching.
