daily stream: tastes like chicken...
2000’s *Chicken Run* is on Prime in the US, and streaming on Prime (leaving soon!) and Disney+ in the UK
More than 20 years later, a sequel to Chicken Run is upon us: Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget lands on Netflix globally December 15th. (It will have its UK premiere at London Film Festival next month; I hope to catch it there.) Prep for Nugget with a rewatch of one of the most glorious animated movies ever made. Nick Park and his gang at Aardman Animations — of Wallace and Gromit fame — gifted us with a sneaky, cheeky parody of prison and escape movies, jam-packed with references to movies from Stalag 17 to Raiders of the Lost Ark, that nevertheless finds decidedly unsentimental pathos in the predicament of farmyard chickens. (Read my 2000 review.)
US: rent/buy on Prime and Apple TV
UK: stream on Prime (through September 30) or Disney+; rent on Prime and BFI Player
