Chicken Run Directed by Peter Lord and Nick Park (2000)

Chicken Run was Aardman’s first feature animation. Made with production partners DreamWorks Animation it represented a huge learning curve for the company and involved a big expansion as we created our feature animation studio in the North of Bristol. 

The story concerns a repressed flock of chickens, led by plucky Ginger, who serially fail to escape from their prison camp farm.  When cock-sure rooster Rocky arrives, he eggs the hens on to fly the coop, but proves to be yellow.   Mrs Tweedy and her doltish husband take delivery of a humungous pie machine…  chicken pie that is, and the pressure is on!
