Chicken Run
open-in-new
<h2 id="plot">Plot</h2> <p>A group of chickens live on an egg farm run by the Tweedys. They try to escape frequently, but are always caught. Frustrated at the minuscule and declining profits that the farm generates, Mrs. Tweedy conceives an idea of converting the farm to automated production and having a pie machine to turn the chickens into <a href="/facts/Pot_pie/U8NIamFx">meat pies</a>. </p><p>One day, the chickens' leader, Ginger, witnesses a rooster named Rocky Rhodes crash-land in the farm; the chickens put a cast on his injured wing and hide him from the Tweedys. Interested in Rocky's apparent flying abilities, Ginger begs him to help teach her and the chickens to fly. Rocky gives them training lessons while Mr. Tweedy builds the pie machine. Later, Rocky holds a party when his wing is healed, and Ginger insists he demonstrate flying the next day, but Mr. Tweedy finishes making the pie machine and puts Ginger in it for a test run. Rocky saves her and inadvertently sabotages the machine, giving them time to warn the others of the Tweedys' plans and only a short time to escape. </p><p>The next day, Ginger finds Rocky has fled, leaving behind part of a poster that reveals he was a stunt rooster, fired from a cannon and unable to fly himself, depressing her and the others. Elderly rooster Fowler tries to cheer them up by telling stories of his time as a mascot in the <a href="/facts/Royal_Air_Force/P10CbL5H">Royal Air Force</a>, giving Ginger the idea to create a plane to flee the farm. </p><p>The chickens assemble parts for the plane as Mr. Tweedy fixes the machine. Mrs. Tweedy insists Mr. Tweedy gather all the chickens for the machine, but when he comes in, the chickens attack him, leaving him bound and gagged as they finish the plane. Rocky returns and joins them, but while they are taking off, Mrs. Tweedy chases them and climbs up a strand of <a href="/facts/Christmas_lights/TLo5F36F">Christmas lights</a> snagged by the plane. Ginger races to sever it; she succeeds, sending Mrs. Tweedy into the pie machine and causing a gravy explosion. The chickens continue their flight until they find an island, where they enjoy their freedom and Ginger and Rocky start a relationship. </p> <h2 id="voice-cast">Voice cast</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Julia_Sawalha/zlwnolV3">Julia Sawalha</a> as Ginger, a hen who is determined to save her fellow chickens from their impending doom on the Tweedys' farm.
