Fall back in love with those crafty hens (and one smooth-talking rooster) with Aardman's classic Chicken Run!

Set on a dreary Yorkshire farm run by the menacing Mrs Tweedy, a determined hen named Ginger (Julia Sawalha) has high ambitions of making a great escape to freedom. When a Yankee cockerel by the name of Rocky (Mel Gibson) crash lands into the chicken coops, Ginger hatches a new plan of escape - to learn how to fly!

Aardman's incredibly iconic 2000 ‘chick flick’ went on to becoming the highest grossing stop-motion animated film in history.
