23 years ago, Bristol-based film production company Aardman Animations achieved huge success with the release of its first feature film. chicken coopan unusual, tender and funny story about The Great EscapeEscape in the style of a chicken factory. To date, the film remains the highest-grossing film from the Wallace and Gromit studio and the highest-grossing single-shot film in history.
So perhaps it’s no surprise that the long-awaited sequel Chicken Run: Dawn of the NuggetIt lacks the spark of the original – less constant laughter, more friendly giggles. Written by Karey Kirkpatrick, Rachel Tunnard and British journalist and Similarities Written by John O’Farrell, this is quite a worthy piece of holiday entertainment. But where the original is still quoted endlessly two decades later – “My whole life flashed before my eyes… it was really boring”; “Put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye”; “THRRRUST” – It’s hard to imagine jokes like “Here Come the Goujons” being quoted long after Christmas.
The animation, a combination of stop-motion and CGI, looks brighter and is more suited to AI-rendered images than carefully sculpted sound. If you want, a box of McNuggets instead of homemade chicken casserole. (Although Dawn of the NuggetsThe company’s strong anti-fast food stance certainly contradicts the former. After this, don’t order breaded poultry for a while.)
Ginger, who escaped from the Tweedy farm in the last film, now lives on an idyllic island, far from the potential human dangers of the mainland. She and her American Rooster sidekick Rocky (now voiced by Thandiwe Newton and Zachary Levi, respectively, replacing Julia Sawalha and Mel Gibson from the first film) have a daughter, Molly (Last of usBella Ramsey, who inherited her mother’s adventurous spirit. She befriends a brash rebel Scouse named Frizzle (Josie Sedgwick-Davies) and ends up breaking into Tweedy’s farm and beyond, where she discovers a dystopian utopia of brainwashed chickens cackling mindlessly in bubblegum delight before she walks happily towards their deaths. as part of Mrs. Tweedy’s (Miranda Richardson) evil plan for world domination through chicken nuggets.
The stakes are pleasantly high and very silly at the same time, and the film stays in that same sweet zone that made the first film such a fun watch for kids and adults alike. It’s often tender and charming, with plenty of reverse spy jokes. I especially loved the moment when the group uses the magic of sunlight and glass refraction to make popcorn and (yes, really) escape certain death at the mill.
However, there is a feeling that this is more of a committee film given the predictable plot. Is not Toy Story 2 Continuation of the masterpiece.
However, this is a lively cast of voices, especially Ramsey, whose courage and idealism are always a pleasure to watch, and there is still an unmistakably British spirit throughout that feels humble, self-deprecating and loving.
The gang may have to resort to some clever homemade cannonballs, leaving them stranded halfway through the rescue mission, but they’ll pull it off in the end.
