#43 - Chicken Run

The chickens are revolting! Welcome to a film where the pitch meeting must have gone something like this, "You know harrowing prisoner of war drama, the Great Escape?" "Yep" "Okay well that, but chickens." "Chickens?" "Yeah, claymation chickens from the makers of Wallace and Gromit, with a cast of some of the most incredible British actors of all time, except of course, we won't see those actors, on account of them being claymation chickens." "Anything else?" "Mel Gibson." "Actual Mel Gibson?" "No, no. Claymation chicken Mel Gibson." "Obviously." "And at one point the farm owners buy a pie making machine and make the chickens into pies." "Oh god, so it's like an eighteen certificate?" "No,no. It's for children." And somehow that film got made and for some reason we all loved it so much that it's even getting a sequel which we can only imagine is an animated chicken retelling of Sophie's Choice meets Schindler's List. Get ready for unbelievable jeopardy, daring escape attempts and classic British humour as this week, the Wreckfast Club presents: Chicken Run!
