Everyone Is Sleeping On Chicken Run!

Today we talk about Chicken Run. A movie that is nothing short of a masterpiece. Yet for some reason it seems like no one ever talks about this movie. So I am going to show you why this movie is good and the subtle references to woman's rights, capitalism, and other things of that nature.

I AM SORRY MY MIC SOUNDS LIKE SHIT!!! I had a lot of plosives in this video and tried my best to fix it so the low end is cut off. I will do my best to make sure this doesnt happen again :(

For me the best line in the movie is when one of them goes “my life flashed before my eyes. It was very boring”

[laurengoddard]

I can’t believe pig didn’t mention the scene where the chicken literally knits herself a noose and just stares at the camera- that scene cracks me up every time no matter how many times I watch this film 😂

[SK-wwud]

Fun fact: There's a scene in Halo 3 ODST that's ripped straight from chicken run, almost word for word. It's the scene where dare kisses buck after slapping him. The scene plays out almost exactly the same, no joke

*Babs knitting* “Morning Ginger. Back from holiday?”
*Ginger gets up and dusts herself* “I wasn’t on holiday Babs, I was in solitary confinement “
*Babs* “Ohh, it’s nice to get a little bit of time to yourself now isn’t it?” 😁😁😁😁😁😁
I love Babs

Ginger was such a spunky Heroine, and I remember idolising her majorly as a youngster.

Even as a kid I noticed that Mrs. Tweedy was awful, but re-watching it was even darker. She literally gaslights her husband and their relationship is SO unhealthy!

Wait a minute you forgot to mention the two rat salesman who ask for eggs as payment. And they gave the chickens tools to help them with their escape.

I love knowing that the chickens only have scarfs cuase that’s were the artists had the border for the heads to connect to the bodies :) I thought they were just fashionable chickens

I think people turned a blind eye to these movies because it's claymation(being regarded as an out of date animation style). Thus Dreamworks stopped making any more(not to mention stop motion required more time, money & energy to animate), the last I think is Pirates: Band of Misfits(a very charming movie actually).

Back to Chicken Run, this movie's dark comedy is a joy to watch. I can never forget the line "my life flashed before my eyes, it's very boring". 🤣

Mrs. Tweedy isn’t talked about enough as one of the most intimidating villains. She’s scary.

[mountainaccident]

this is one of those movies that scares the hell out of you as a kid, but you learn to appreciate it as an adult

7:14 Something that I realized about that scene was that not only did it set up Mrs. Tweety as the villain, but it also illustrated how desperate some of the chickens were getting. It may not seem that way at first but here's how. The big red chicken mentions that the chicken getting offed didn't tell anyone that she did not lay any eggs. You'd think that she would so that her friends could help her out and she could keep living, but that's the thing... She didn't want to. She figured that getting offed sooner would be better than living her life in the farm with the little hope that she can escape that life and eventually raise her children.

I'm sure is a bit "taboo" to talk about concentration camps, but this is 100% a reference to them and not a normal prison. From the bunk beds and the overall look of the place, to the way they all line up and Mrs Tweedy select the ones she's going to off.

I used to watch this with my grandma every time I went over to her house, and when she passed recently, the VHS of chicken run was one of the only things I got to remember her, so it holds a special place in my heart

[movedchannels]

This movie traumatized me as a kid. But when I rewatched it, it wasn’t as scary as I remembered. It was still kinda spooky. But it’s still amazing!

[PurpleFury]

My favorite line is probably

"Chickens come in, pies come out."
"Ooooh! What kind of pies?"
"...Apple"
"Oh! My favorite!"

[BearBrews]

I was just thinking about this movie yesterday. I wasn't sure if this was a real movie at first. It felt like a fever dream to me.

[PurpleFury]

I used to be addicted to this as a kid! I had the figures, a set of minitires, finger puppets, and the pie launcher vehicle! I loved it so much!

Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit is up there with Chicken Run. Both great movies.
