				"Now, the most important

				which means: you do 
				everything I tell you." - Rocky Rooster 
				Why watch this? 
				It's a delightful, full-length Nick Parks film... and it's 
				about... 
				chickens. 
				Plot Summary: A 
				group of chickens on a British farm yearn for freedom. When 
				their owners, the Tweedys, plan to turn them into pot pies, the 
				resolved chickens, led by the determined Ginger, must find a way 
				to escape. Their hopes are raised when a smooth-talking American 
				rooster named Rocky arrives, who boasts that he can teach them 
				to fly over the barnyard's fence. Dad's Preview: 
				The word of the day is "anthropomorphic" which means 
				animals 
				displaying human qualities and emotions. This film is full of 
				British 
				anthropomorphic chickens who are in dire circumstances. This 
				claymation stop-motion film is full of laughs, 
				creative inventions and daring chase sequences - for which creator 
				Nick Park and Ardman Animations are renown.
