Story
Mrs. Tweedy isn't fooling. Despite her twee British name, she's not a
nice little old lady chicken farmer. She means business. Early in
"Chicken Run," she singles out a chicken who hasn't been laying its
daily egg and condemns it to a chopping block. Since this is an animated
film, we expect a joke and a close escape. Not a chance. The chicken
gets its head chopped off, the other chickens hear the sickening thud of
the ax--and later, in case there's the slightest shred of doubt about
what happened, we see chicken bones.
So it truly is a matter of life and death for the chickens to escape
from the Tweedy Chicken Farm in "Chicken Run," a magical new animated
film that looks and sounds like no other. Like the otherwise completely
different "Babe,"
this is a movie that uses animals as surrogates for our hopes and
fears, and as the chickens run through one failed escape attempt after
another, the charm of the movie wins us over.
The film opens as a spoof on World War II prison pictures such as
"The Great Escape" and "Stalag 17" (the most important location in the
movie is Hut 17). Most of the chickens are happy with captivity and free
meals ("Chicken feed! My favorite!"), but one named Ginger has pluck,
and tries one escape attempt after another, always being hurled into the
coal hole for a week as her punishment. Her cause grows more urgent
when Mrs. Tweedy (voiced by Miranda Richardson) decides to phase out the egg operation and turn all of her chickens into chicken pies.
Ginger (voiced by Julia Sawalha) has tried everything: tunnels, catapults, disguises, deceptions. Mr. Tweedy (voiced by Tony Haygarth)
is sure the chickens are mapping intelligent escape plans, but can't
convince his wife, who is sure they are too stupid. Then a godsend
arrives: Rocky the Flying Rooster (voiced by Mel Gibson),
an American bird who is on the run from a circus. Surely he can teach
the chickens to fly and they can escape that way? Maybe, maybe not.
There are many adventures before we discover the answer, and the most
thrilling follows Ginger and Rocky through the bowels of the chicken pie
machine, in an action sequence that owes a little something to the
runaway mine train in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."
There are tests of daring and skill in the escape plan, but also tests
of character, as the birds look into their souls and discover hidden
convictions.
In a more conventional movie, the plot would proceed on autopilot.
Not in "Chicken Run," which has a whimsical and sometimes darker view of
the possibilities. One of the movie's charms is the way it lets many of
the characters be true eccentrics (it's set in England in the 1950s and
sometimes offers a taste of those sly old Alec Guinness
comedies). Characters like the Royal Air Force veteran rooster with a
sneaky secret exist not to nudge the plot along but to add color and
texture: This movie about chickens is more human than many formula
comedies.
The movie is the first feature-length work by the team of Peter Lord and Nick Park,
who have won three Oscars (Park) and two Oscar nominations (Lord) for
their work in Claymation, a stop-action technique in which plasticine is
minutely changed from shot to shot to give the illusion of 3-D
movement. Park is the creator of the immortal Wallace and Gromit, the
man and his dog who star in "The Wrong Trousers" and "A Close Shave." In
"Chicken Run," they bring a startling new smoothness and fluid quality
to their art. Traditional clay animation tweaks and prods the clay
between every shot; you can almost see the thumbprints. Their more
sophisticated approach here is to start with plasticine modeled on
articulated skeletons and clothe the models with a "skin" that gives
them smoothness and consistency from shot to shot. The final effect is
more like "Toy Story" than traditional clay animation.
What I like best about the movie is that it's not simply a plot
puzzle to be solved with a clever escape at the end. It is observant
about human (or chicken) nature. A recent movie like "Gone in 60
Seconds" is the complete slave of its dimwitted plot and fears to pause
for character development, lest the audience find the dialogue slows
down the action.
"Chicken Run," on the other hand, is not only funny and wicked,
clever and visually inventive, but . . . kind and sweet. Tender and
touching. It's a movie made by men, not machines, and at the end you
don't feel wrung out or manipulated, but cheerful and (I know this
sounds strange) more hopeful.
