Chicken Run
Chicken Run © Aardman

The egg-laying, prison-of-war camp existence on the Tweedy farm has become intolerable to the hens but Ginger, their plucky leader, is full of ideas to break them out... not always good ideas, but she's determined to find a way to escape before she and the other hens wind up as pies in Ms. Tweedy's new automated pie machine. When Rocky the Flying Rooster crash lands in their midst, Ginger sees the perfect plan--Rocky will teach them to fly out of there!

Of Interest:

Chicken Run uses some of the most sophisticated puppets for its stop motion animation however because the head and limbs are the most expressive parts of the character's bodies, they're still made with old fashion plastercine. In fact, 7000 lbs of the stuff was used and abused in the making of this movie.
