Screenplay by Peter Lord (I), Nick Park
Featuring the voices of : Julia Sawalha, Mel Gibson, Jane Horrocks

Basic plot outline: A 'claymation' adventure from the creator of Wallace and Gromit, featuring chickens as the main characters. Ginger is the 'head chick', and she deviously plots to free all the chickens on the farm, preventing an otherwise certain 'Death By Chicken Pie'. After many failed attempts, she meets Rocky, the 'flying rooster', and decides that he holds the key to their freedom.

Review: This film was very disappointing. The animation was superb, and the characters were quite cute and funny and stuff. But thats pretty much all there was to it. It wasn't as entertaining as it could have been. The film had an original concept and a 'blah' execution. WAAaaaaAAAy over rated.
