Chicken Run

To celebrate 50 years of the iconic Aardman Animations studio and to play alongside their latest release Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, we’re bringing selection of Aardman favourites back to the big screen for the October school holidays.

Aardman’s first full-length theatrical feature film was influential in the creation of the Best Animated Feature category at the Academy Awards, and it still remains the highest-grossing stop motion animation film of all time. 

Life on Tweedy's Chicken Farm is far from pleasant for the inmates. Ginger the hen's various attempts at escape have failed, but when Rocky the famous Flying Rooster crash lands in the farm, she sees the chance she has been waiting for: Rocky can teach everyone how to fly, and they can stage a mass break-out! However, the braggardly Rocky is not all that he seems; can he really help Ginger and the others find freedom before Mrs Tweedy hatches her fowl plan to turn them all into chicken pies?
