Clever claymated rendition of "The Great Escape" replacing the POW's with chickens and the Gestapo with a farmer. The chickens of this Stalag 17-like coop try finding new ways to escape and none of them work until Rocky Rhode comes along. Together, these determined chickens deceive the farmer to devise a way out because if they don't, they will be made into a pie. First movie by Park and Lord, the creators of the hit BBC show, Wallace and Grombit is wonderfully entertaining fun for the entire family! A good movie to go out and see!
