The Chicken Run sequel from Aardamn is finally happening!
Chicken Run, the stop-motion animated film from Aardman Animations, released in 2000, is getting a sequel. It is from the same studio that created Wallace and Gromit. Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget will be on Netflix later this year. The sequel will take the spotlight at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
The first film tells the story of a group of chickens trying to escape from their farm before turning into pies. The film’s main character is Ginger, a brilliant and determined chicken who has been trying to escape from the farm for years. A group of other chickens joins her with unique personalities, including Babs, who’s a bit of a ditz, and Rocky, a rooster who claims to be able to fly.
One thing that sets Chicken Run apart from other animated films is its attention to detail. The filmmakers put tons of effort into creating a world with a timeless story, likable characters, and impeccable animation. In the sequel, Ginger and Rocky will be played by Thandiwe Newton and Zachary Levi. Having escaped Tweedy’s farm, Ginger has found a peaceful island sanctuary for the whole flock. But chicken-kind faces a new threat back on the mainland, and Ginger and her team decide to break in. Read more News on Nerdtropolis. Subscribe to our YouTube.
