Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget
{4.5/5} “I’m running a camouflage lesson at noon. If you can find me.”
Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, released in 2023
Ginger and Rocky have a girl named Molly. They are protective of her and don’t want her to leave the island. Of course, Molly is curious about the world outside the island, and eventually leaves — and immediately gets captured by “Fun-Land Farms.” Now Ginger and her team are going to have to break in to get her out — and all the other chickens too.
This is the sequel to Chicken Run.
The story isn’t quite as clever as the first time. But it has the characters you want to see, plus a few new ones.
It’s very funny.
The most astonishing behind-the-scenes fact is that the Aardman studio has to find a new source for plasticine because the factory that’s made theirs since 1972 is closing down.
Stars the voices of Thandiwe Newton, Zachary Levi, Imelda Staunton, and Miranda Richardson. Directed by Sam Fell (ParaNorman). It was nice to have one of the composers, Harry Gregson-Williams, back for this 2nd movie.
