Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget

THIS TIME, THEY’RE BREAKING IN!

After the escape from the Tweedys’ farm, Ginger and Rocky have raised a daughter on a secluded island… but the outside world threatens to destroy their way of life.

Have you ever wondered how a chicken nugget is created? This sequel to Chicken Run, 23 years in the making, offers a lighthearted yet furious attack on the fast-food industry, creating a poultry factory that tricks the chickens into believing that this is a dream world.

The attempt to save them turns into a Mission: Impossible-style adventure. No surprises here, but there are flashes of brilliance.


2023-U.K. Animated. 98 min. Color. Directed by Sam Fell. Voices of Thandiwe Newton (Ginger), Zachary Levi (Rocky), Bella Ramsey (Molly), Imelda Staunton, Lynn Ferguson, David Bradley, Jane Horrocks, Miranda Richardson.
