Chicken Run

Tough Draw Below average in every round
2000 · Animation, Comedy, Family · Nick Park, Peter Lord

33% across 135 head-to-head matchups is a tough number. Chicken Run hasn't built a fanbase strong enough to compete with what it's typically matched against, and the round data confirms it across every stage. Aardman's clay hens stage a barnyard Great Escape you can see the fingerprints in, and the parody is aimed as much at the parents as the kids. That handmade craft and stiff-upper-lip wit give it a charm slick CG can't fake, the kind of comfort watch that only gets more likeable on a rewatch. It ranks among the weakest 2000s performers on the platform.

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.
