Terrible? No. Needless? Pretty much. I would’ve loved this movie if was done a bit after the original, but it’s been over twenty years after the first movie. I am not against a sequel, but the timing was way off.
9:12 Fingerprints and imperfections, while not intentional, were embraced by Aardman for years. In the "How to Make a Slug" extra on the Flushed Away DVD, the modeler said, and I quote from memory because I've seen that movie and extra more times than I care to guess, "Fingerprints are a bit of an Aardman style, making it look like it's been touched." If that's anything to go by, smoothing things out could only make it look a little weird.
I think telling a kid "if you leave the island the humans will try to eat you" can still instill the rebellious nature of a teenager. "I want an adrenalin fueled adventure" and underestimating the threat can still lead the child-character to leave the island.
@@lauramarschmallow2922 Yeah, like how Simba wanted to go to the Elephant Graveyard ( The Dark Shadowy Area ), specially after Mufasa told him not to go, and Scar tempted him to go there.
@@mandrakeblake-tw1uv I think maybe having established a bad influence chicken friend for her, tempting her to go explore would've been better than introducing her on the run too
I was really disappointed when Tony Haygarth (the voice for Mr Tweedy in the first movie) passed away before this was made, it would've been nice to at least have him as a cameo or something, at least Miranda Richardson could replay her amazing role as Mrs Tweedy!
@@CurrotheFreemanShe didn't. After the explosion from the gravy(?) machine overloading, she can be seen with a concerned Mr Tweedy, where she angrily grits her teeth and groans into a scream. And in Chicken Run 2, Melissa Tweedy eventually comes face to face with Ginger and it's shown that she remembers her. It's definitely the same Tweedy.
When I think “Aardman”, I don’t think about the character’s designs, I think about their texture. Their material. The fact that they’re imperfect, but consistently so. Like they’re very flawed, and they keep those flaws when they move. It’s like there’s a little imperfection on the model, and then they go through great lengths to keep that imperfection exactly how it was. Like, you could shove a wad of clay into a Wallace-shaped mold, but you won’t get that texture, those little fingerprints where they’ve sculpted him. You’ll get Wallace, the character, but you won’t get Wallace, the charming hand-crafted claymation figure.
Exactly, it is just like when movies changed from film to digital, sure the picture looks nice but at the same time it also looks more fake than movies made on film.
They heavily ruined Ginger and Rocky‘s character in this sequel. Rocky was reduced to being nothing more than a glorified punching bag. I know in the first movie he had his fair share of goofs, but not to the point where that’s all he (nearly) serves in the movie. And there was no real reason as to not tell Molly why she can’t go to the other side. And Ginger… my goodness they completely character assassinated her in this sequel. The scene where Ginger tells Molly that she isn’t going to save Frizzle and the other chickens goes against her entire arc from the first movie. Which being that no poultry gets left behind. Especially if the chickens are being trapped by the same person as last time! And no, Ginger saving the chickens later on doesn’t fix anything, because it’s not that she wants to, Molly wants to. Which also makes her character even worse in this movie. It’s easily the worst thing about this movie besides bringing back Mrs Tweedy.
I kind of disagree with you about Ginger. She’s a mom now. It’s not that she doesn’t want to save the chickens. She doesn’t want to loose her daughter. When you become a parent, everyone else takes a backseat. But after Molly proves herself to be smarter and more able than Ginger gave her credit for, she decides she’s ready to play a part in the rescue. That’s what being a parent does to you. It changes your perspective. Sure she could do the rescue missions herself but then she could end up orphaning her daughter leaving her behind. I think that would be more selfish. Though I do agree that they should’ve told her the truth. Because sheltering your child from the truth never plays out well and only ever backfires.
Let's just completely ignore the fact that Ginger's a mother now, huh? If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted to get Molly the fuck outta there, she would've been quicker to come to the decision to save all the other chickens. You don't know how much having a kid to worry about changes your thought process. This was literally on purpose, it was even acknowledged in the movie. When Ginger ordered everyone to hide instead of going to save whatever chickens had been captured, Mac pointed out that it was out of character for her, and she replied that she had Molly to worry about now
The ginger thing I might could see as excused because to be honest, once you have kids your priorities can change MASSIVELY and you can easily become more selfish because your child becomes your main priority and to that effect your own survival does as well simply because you keed to stay alive to take care of them, barring the necessity for sacrificing yourself for them. That's just my two cents though and I don't disagree with the rest lol
Spot on, and I would like to add that it makes no sense as to why ginger keeps the horrors of their past from her daughter. She told her fellow hens everything back on the farm, so to keep important information away from her daughter is bollocks. "I know you want to go see the mainland, honey, but you must understand, I risked every feather on my body getting us all away from the mainland, and I'm about to tell you why-" was that so hard? It's definitively not like ginger to keep something THIS important from her daughter.
What made the originial movie work for me is how it was a metaphor for war and concentration camp. The sequal could have had that same effect by focusing how some groups were used as pawns in labs but it focused too much on being goofy for me.
14:38 see the thing about children is, it’d be completely fair and realistic to have the parents say “it’s dangerous”, the kid says “well that sounds like someone who doesn’t want me to explore lol” or even “nah mum you’re paranoid, I’m gonna go look”
Why do I keep hearing that reboots and sequels are so terrible? Because the Companies don't care about the quality of the movie and are just trying to cash in on an already established brand.
I always thought Mrs. Tweedy was a gold digger she treated Mr. Tweedy like a twat and was only using him if you see in the pictures in the first movie she was never happy with him
One other key thing to consider is that the company Ardman used to use to get their clay from went under if I recall. There was an article a while ago which said they only had enough clay to make the upcoming Wallace and Grommit film and then they'd be out.
also the studio fire completely destroyed most of their original puppets (which is why the character models look kind of weird compared to the original movies)
This is what worries me about the new Wallace And Gromit film, Vengeance Most Fowl. It's been 13 years since the last film, A Matter Of Loaf And Death. I just worry that Ardman might be losing its way a bit. I just hope they don't squander one of the most beloved franchises in British TV and Claymation.
Honestly i don't think so, Wallace has the same VA, it looks faithful to the original, and honestly everyones excited for it, mainly nostalgia because well..been 23 years sinde we've seen Wallace and Gromit but...i think it'll go well
@Calk-go3em "Wallace has the same VA" Peter Sallis, the original voice of Wallace, died in 2016. The current voice of Wallace is Ben Whitehead, who's voicing him in the new movie. Where did you hear that poppycock about Wallace having never been recasted? Because that literally isn't true
The point that almost nobody seems to be making is that the original voice actress for Ginger was RECASTED, despite her submitting unedited clips and footage of her being able to maintain the same range for her character. For that reason alone, I'm not watching this
@@easportssucks4347 Sex had nothing to do with it. I would've been just as upset over Mel Gibson's snub had he not been practically insane. This is just poor recasting on the part of Aardman (likely to preserve budget).
I wouldn’t call it TERRIBLE, but I wouldn’t call it GOOD either. Imo, it was “alright”. Cute, fun, had nice moments, but it also had a lot of meh points. The characterization of Rocky especially irks me. Ginger’s can be waved away with “of course her priorities changed, she’s a mother now, she has a child to protect”, even if at times it’s a little contrived. In the first movie, Rocky WASN’T stupid. The movie makes it very clear that he, like Ginger, COULD escape! He even *did*! The difference was Ginger wouldn’t do so without the others, and Rocky would- until he wouldn’t. He wasn’t dumb, if anything he was smart, because he was very knowingly tricking the others before he bailed. In the sequel… well, this was covered in the video. He’s a total idiot, he’s reduced to comic relief. It’s really unfortunate, it feels like he was just… wasted.
15:18 ok in their defense, both of them were specifically looking for this van because of the poster they saw on the side. It showed a happen chicken so they thought it would bring them to a better life. It wasn’t a random series of events, they purposefully went after it causing them to meet each other
Chicken run was my favourite childhood movie but I didn't watch the sequel. I was surprised by all the positivity because I could see from face value it was missing everything I liked in the original - the gritty realism and danger of being livestock and the very british and WW2 themes. The first one was tied to reality like a slightly happier plague dogs or watership down.
This is exactly what I'm thinking!! It's quite like Early Man. I've seen SOOO many people hate on that, when for me, I personally quite enjoyed it!! I went to see it in cinemas when it came out and I had no problems with it, but then again I was like 10 at the time xD But still!! I don't think an Aardman film is bad, obviously some are a bit weaker than others, but none are particularly bad. It's Aardman!!
I have not watched it yet (that's why I watched this video first, to see if it is any good) but the plot sounds extremely generic. Not bad, just uninspired. Probably a fun watch in isolation but nothing to write home about
With what you said regarding the opening and atmosphere in general, I started to think: what if they showed them actually constructing this whole settlement of theirs? In the first place, for them to follow up directly from the ending of the first movie, I think it just makes sense to put some emphasis on them having to still work and figure things out to improve their new lives and in turn it would give us a natural transition from the settlement we saw in the first movie's epilogue to what it now looks like in this movie (rather than just starting with them having this whole perfect paradise right out the gate), as well as give off an atmosphere that's less bright and more grounded similar to the original
How the hell did Mrs. Tweedy survive? She got crushed by a barn door, at the very least she should be in a wheelchair, and/or hooked up to a colostomy bag.
I had no idea they made a sequel to that movie also, the fact mrs. tweedy actually survived what she experienced at the end of the movie, including how she likely died to getting crushed by a house wall if SOMEHOW she's still alive if we get a third one, then something is going on here and she may be the second coming of superman
This movie feels like it was made by Thomas Kinkade. Perfect comparison. The original felt a lot more realistic, so even though it was on a smaller scale, the stakes felt so much higher.
The reason why people didn't pick up on Chicken Run being female led back in the day is because the movie didn't smash you over the face with the fact it was female led. All the hens were well written characters with great dynamics with each other.
If Gingers daughter Molly was so much like her mother, it would’ve worked better if she was willing to put herself in harms way to seek out the other chicken settlements that were being taken with no teaching first due to being cooped up by her mom, whilst Ginger has been trying to keep everyone’s safety foremost and not have a plan of action first to search .
When I saw the trailer I thought that the villain was, like, Ms. Tweedy's daughter or something, but when I watched it and saw that it was actually her, I was like "Oh...She survived..."
It would've been a much better concept if the bright lighting and happiness of the ending in the first movie slowly turned into a similar fenced in setting like the beginning of the first movie but by the chicken's own design, the lighting wouldn't have to make it look dreary or dreadful but something that replicates the feeling of the new main character that the old main character had. Make a complex story where they had to lock themselves in and deprive themselves of their idealistic freedom to fend off the wild. The daughter character would then have an actual reason to want to explore different places and a reason to find the new farm so appealing. Maybe a chicken can get dragged off by a fox in a moment paralleling the first movie that directly causes the daughter to travel across the lake. A message of freedom not always equaling happiness or security but control of your own life would be very interesting and complex for a kids movie to present.
26:57 Do you think the 60s vehicles, the 60s outfits of Mrs Tweedy, the retro items and products the chickens are repurposing, the Thunderbirds Playset aesthetic of the Villain Base, the retro technology, and the 60s Era Hanna Barbera might be a hint that it's the 60s?
I don’t think chicken run Dawn of the nugget is disappointing at all. I watch it on Netflix it was actually very good. My kids loved it. Maybe the best Netflix movie I seen in a long time.
I think if they had a more shoddy enclosure in the new chicken farm and show how the brainwashed chickens see it as a grand paradise, for example. And when Tweedy shows up like really play with the scale, and play up the tyrannical dictator making an appearance, add some scars that really inhance the viciousness, etc.
Maybe a bit conversational, but I think this review of this movie was a little too harsh I believe that this movie is generally heartwarming and I great way to end the first movie, is it fantastic no, but as well I'm sure it wasn't supposed to be continued but even with that they did a really good hand of taking care of the topics in it. of course the faults are their like, the animation becoming a bit cleaner and less of that rugged style before, but you have to remember that animation takes a lot and so the fact they now have technology to still keep that feeling of Claymation is huge and sure sad that they had to cut corners, and with rocky character being dumbed down is a bit dumb as well missing characters. but even with all of those problems it is such a sweet and powerful movie that were missing out on with is the movies theme being in my opinion, "Generation Trauma" and "Family" with Ginger finally having that freedom and safety she can relax and take after her family and town so, of course they are going to be silly they already were but now with no looming threat of doom over them they can relax and why everything is so bring and cheery they are going to have fun. and even with the song being a pop song I think it shows how much Molly is growing into her own chicken and as a parent watching their young child growing up so fast and for ginger realizing Molly is going to wonder where she came from what is her story and want to explore and now ginger can't keep her safe with the safety of the island with the chicken farm, which an other thing I believe it makes perfect sense that the new farm that Tweedy makes is going to be happy and cheery to make chickens feel safe as she fatten them up and take control so they won't leave and also to taste better, but she knows that they are smart so of course she would want to make it a high security place after how ginger messed it up her last farm and didn't want any mistakes again which makes sense for the horror that is relived over its fun bright vibe but it's not real its fake which makes it so scary to watch as one of the chickens are sent away for "winning" and I don't think we give it enough credit for that. so of course, it's going to be over the top and as well I think it's more for a younger audience but even with that it holds gingers fears so well with her flashbacks because she wasn't over her trauma because as Dazz said it was either "confinement or death" and so the moment she realized that her daughter her family her town, could be in danger so of course she going to fear and do the best thing "hide" which Dazz said it was very out of her character and is really put down into our throats but when then mac tells her mac is being conserved for her friend and obviously Ginger doesn't want others to know especially her daughter which I understand why Ginger didn't want to say anything about the danger because Molly would of pushed for more and more answers and as a mother dealing trauma of being in a LITTERAL camp of course she didn't want her daughter to know I do believe that there should of been a conversation but it also makes sense why she didn't either. and with all Molly finding her way to the Happy Farm she would find some chicken with her because of how every chicken wanted to get in and not only Molly being a pattern of things that is happening to other chickens. and this shows the best in the best part of this movie is when Ginger and Molly retinue with Ginger saying how she doesn't know who she is dealing with wanting to escape for her and herself and not having the proper words to say it but when ginger is found by Tweedy Shes back again in that fear of the past but being able to come back into herself being Ginger the strong leader that she is really makes this movie so eye opening and sweet to see how this story ends. Butttt that's just my thoughts no hate for anyone i just love this fanzine dearly with it having such great themes for the characters and just make you feel so much with the character as well of course this movie isn't the best or terrible it's something is nice comfort movie to watch to let life slow down a little. but hey! maybe I'm bias idk i just thing personally it's a good family movie.
I Love Chicken Run, it’s One of those Animated Movies you just can’t help but feel Enjoyment on how Much Fun it is, 10 out of 10, It’s One of Dreamworks and Aardman’s Greatest Film that I can Rewatch Everytime, as For Dawn of the Nugget, it’s a Fine Mediocre Film that’s a 5 out of 10, yes it has Flaws, Too Many In Fact, but I didn’t Hate It when at least the Stop Motion is still Impressive and the Cast are Solid, it’s Disappointing is some Areas that it’s a Movie you would watch Once and unlike the Original it doesn’t give you the Same Feeling or Rewatching It.
This would've been a more interesting concept. Like how they found paradise, how they set up their town, how they dealt with potential rival birds in the sanctuary, etc.
I feel like the second bye bye line wouldn’t have been so bad if it was used like the first one In the first movie it was knowing full well Ginger wouldn’t see Tweedy again The second time they are STILL in the middle of the factory trying to get out with plenty of Time for Tweedy to get em again
I feel like Mrs. Tweedy was a bit flawed near the end, she had so many chances to strike, but she’s reduced to the stereotypical dumb villain trope. Whereas in the first movie she felt like a real and dangerous threat.
as much as this movie sucks, i genuinely want Ms Tweety as a killer in Dead by Daylight.... imma adult and that batter covered look she had in this movie genuinely frightened me a little she went like... full 80s slasher villain for a good 4 minutes and i fucking LOVED it..... Aardman should honestly make something that
...kinda weird and funny but i don't think it'll happen, Dead by Daylight is a horror multiplayer game with horror characters from all over, adding Ms Tweedy kinda..doesn't fit...and honestly if they do add her i will just be fucking shocked...and honestly as i'm writing this replay i'm just thinking if they'll add Rascal from Glitter Force..probably won't happen but it'll be fuckin hilarious
I definitely would of liked a more darker sense of a threat in the movie. But i guess they just listened to all the complainers who cried that their kids got scared of the first one 🙄🙄
Interesting that I was such a huge fan of the first movie yet never had any interest in watching the sequel. It seems my instincts were right on the money.
They disrespected the original voice of ginger Saying she was too old to revoice her which is bs. Super ageist Women voices dont quite age like men voices do. I dont think she would have sounded much different then she did in the first one
You're not allowed to have that opinion.😂 Also, on Netflix, you can watch this in Japanese and there's a pun that not only translated perfectly into Japanese, but also meant the same thing. I love when that happens. I call it a "Holy Grail" or "Double Feature."
As a long time devoted Sonic fan. It’s crazy asf how all these creators are ‘All of a sudden’ using Sonic game audio in their videos. I do love it but it’s still like.. *listens* woah
One thing I will defend is the art direction. The more colourful palette melds really well with the 60s aesthetic of the film. And given that this movie came out over 20 years after the original, which was set in WWII... you can see where I'm going with this.
I’m pretty sure the original Chicken Run went to great lengths to smooth out the fingerprints, which Nick Park wasn’t a fan of, stating that he preferred the “thumby” look. They went back to showing the fingerprints for subsequent features (certainly the next couple of Wallace & Gromit films).
i kept rewatching this vid trying to figure out why i felt like there was a nother film recently that the plot wasnt great but the premise of a dystopian farm fit better in some ways. its because somewhat ironically - i think the garfeild movie may have hit the premise a bit better. the whole movie is lackluster for garfeild. but something about the idea of the corpate farm (in that movies case dairy ) having this fake feeling almost theme park mixed with petting zoo vibes feels like it would have been better for this movie and really pushing the idea . like imagine if instead of it being pretty obvious looking traps outside or rather obstacles. it was instead something that played to their natural instincts more or even their traumas. image meeting a handful of chickens that were just kept around as free roaming mascot pets that genuinely had good care or something and the team having to argue their way around it . i guess kind of like Migration did as well recently.
I'd say this movie tainted the original, but I recently learned that taint is a bad word across the pond. Brits, man. They come up with the darndest things...
Personally, I can live with this. This is honestly better than nothing. Also, it's not as bad as everyone says it is. And the song at the beginning is so catchy.
I personally liked Dawn of The Nugget, its a spin on the Utopia Vs. Dystopia genre, the first movie is a Dystopia for the chickens, a world filled with dirt, grime, blood, and pain, while the 2nd is a Utopia, filled with clean water, good food, no agony, and happy memories for the future to come, i say that as a long time fan of Chicken Run, and i was more than happy to see the 2nd movie be released and produced the way it was, Mrs. Tweedy surviving the second time DID get me a bit mad, it had me asking "HOW!?", like seriously, woman got boiled and crisped alive, NO HUMAN COULD SURVIVE THAT, it was a miracle she even survived the gravy boiler explosion in the first movie! But then i realized, then i thought back on one of Aardmans Wallace and Gromit's short films called Close Shave, seeing how the second movie ended, and seeing Mrs. Tweedy surviving, i dont think shes human to put it bluntly, Aardman doesnt do things without reason, its a miracle she survived the first time, but the second was more jaw dropping and head scratching than anything, she fell into an industrial meat grinder with a built-in fryer. The first movie and second movie work perfectly together in my opinion, yeah it has its mess ups, but no movie is perfect, each one tells its story, same goes for their reason. If there ever is a "Brutal 3rd Installment", then i feel like the 3rd movie will be the movie where we get a perfect mix of Utopia and Dystopia, the Tweedy chickens freeing other chickens from other farms, we'll see the terrible conditions each one has and subsequently see Utopias/Dystopias for each farm, each with their own delusion, and Mrs. Tweedy might get her final appearance since there would finally be no more material to work with after the 3rd movie and we might get an explanation to how Mrs. Tweedy survived such deadly "accidents" in the 3rd movie, if we get lucky in both getting a 3rd installment and said plot point of Mrs. Tweedy's insane survival [Well, i say thered be no material for a 4th installment, thats unless you count world domination via chicken, in which yes, thered be material for a 4th in that case lol]
Chicken Run is my favorite movie hands down, I've seen it countless times since I was a little children and it's still good! With that being said I cannot/will not watch this sequel. I have to preserve the legacy even when the creators will not. Great video sir! 🫡
Honestly I think a somewhat better way to write the "Fray" joke would be something like this: "I don't wanna be sent out into the fray! I like to frolick." Ya know, cuz Babs likes them holidays
Tbh it wasn’t that bad. Ofc OG was best but this still could work at one time movie I watched and even laugh few times. Also I always appreciate stop motion. Still better than next minion movies
Might be just me, the original was set in a recognisable reality and I loved the surreal logic that allowed for - it was hilarious and gave great structure. I felt that the sequel didn't manage to set up the fantastical nature of the chicken farm properly. It felt really jarring suddenly going into a sci-fi movie and having none of the tropes established.
I remember how I liked watching stop motion movies because of how rare it is to see those kinds of movies I grew up watching wallace and gromit and I absolutely loved those ones including the original chicken run, I just cant believe how they wasted a sequel like this
what gets me is the first movie is set in the 50s, I'm positive they all, especially mrs tweedy, didn't live for 70 years and live. i don't count this as a sequal..
Would’ve been better if the story started somewhere away from paradise, then we rediscovered paradise as the plot necessitated a return there, and then the plot put paradise at stake. I haven’t watched this, so maybe paradise was put at stake. But I doubt it, just from the tone of all that I’ve seen.
I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that Aardman decided to create a sequel for Chicken Run, or the fact that it took them 23 years to even come up with the idea for a sequel in the first place
I think that they were trying to go for a bright horror aspect similar to Digital Circus. Bright palate, but laced with a creepy undertone. But it doesn't work well as the tone feels off.
Do you agree? Disagree? ..Think they'll make a third?
I disagree with you

"If it looks smoother people will like it more."
Everyone: _Where are your fingerprints._
This was fun and all, let’s be serious, if Ginger told her daughter the truth why they can’t leave the island, we wouldn’t have a plot
I think telling a kid "if you leave the island the humans will try to eat you" can still instill the rebellious nature of a teenager. "I want an adrenalin fueled adventure" and underestimating the threat can still lead the child-character to leave the island.

The finger prints and the fact that they look squashed and molded and moved is a detail I didn’t realise I’d miss
Exactly, it is just like when movies changed from film to digital, sure the picture looks nice but at the same time it also looks more fake than movies made on film.

Let's just completely ignore the fact that Ginger's a mother now, huh? If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted to get Molly the fuck outta there, she would've been quicker to come to the decision to save all the other chickens. You don't know how much having a kid to worry about changes your thought process. This was literally on purpose, it was even acknowledged in the movie. When Ginger ordered everyone to hide instead of going to save whatever chickens had been captured, Mac pointed out that it was out of character for her, and she replied that she had Molly to worry about now
The ginger thing I might could see as excused because to be honest, once you have kids your priorities can change MASSIVELY and you can easily become more selfish because your child becomes your main priority and to that effect your own survival does as well simply because you keed to stay alive to take care of them, barring the necessity for sacrificing yourself for them. That's just my two cents though and I don't disagree with the rest lol
Spot on, and I would like to add that it makes no sense as to why ginger keeps the horrors of their past from her daughter. She told her fellow hens everything back on the farm, so to keep important information away from her daughter is bollocks. "I know you want to go see the mainland, honey, but you must understand, I risked every feather on my body getting us all away from the mainland, and I'm about to tell you why-" was that so hard? It's definitively not like ginger to keep something THIS important from her daughter.
What made the originial movie work for me is how it was a metaphor for war and concentration camp.
The sequal could have had that same effect by focusing how some groups were used as pawns in labs but it focused too much on being goofy for me.
i mean its based on the movie The Great Escape and what you mention is the premise of the sequel
14:38 see the thing about children is, it’d be completely fair and realistic to have the parents say “it’s dangerous”, the kid says “well that sounds like someone who doesn’t want me to explore lol” or even “nah mum you’re paranoid, I’m gonna go look”
Why do I keep hearing that reboots and sequels are so terrible? Because the Companies don't care about the quality of the movie and are just trying to cash in on an already established brand.
This perfectly describes Netflix, they just want money
I don't really think they were trying to make anything sexual. I think they Mrs. Tweedy just wants to marry whoever makes her the most money.
I always thought Mrs. Tweedy was a gold digger she treated Mr. Tweedy like a twat and was only using him if you see in the pictures in the first movie she was never happy with him
@@rickyrosay33977 Yeah
One other key thing to consider is that the company Ardman used to use to get their clay from went under if I recall. There was an article a while ago which said they only had enough clay to make the upcoming Wallace and Grommit film and then they'd be out.
They found a replacement apparently
also the studio fire completely destroyed most of their original puppets (which is why the character models look kind of weird compared to the original movies)
but they don't use clay, they use plasticine
As if there were no other sellers of clay in this planet. Ffs.
This is what worries me about the new Wallace And Gromit film, Vengeance Most Fowl. It's been 13 years since the last film, A Matter Of Loaf And Death. I just worry that Ardman might be losing its way a bit. I just hope they don't squander one of the most beloved franchises in British TV and Claymation.
Honestly i don't think so, Wallace has the same VA, it looks faithful to the original, and honestly everyones excited for it, mainly nostalgia because well..been 23 years sinde we've seen Wallace and Gromit but...i think it'll go well
@Calk-go3em "Wallace has the same VA"
Peter Sallis, the original voice of Wallace, died in 2016.
The current voice of Wallace is Ben Whitehead, who's voicing him in the new movie.
Where did you hear that poppycock about Wallace having never been recasted? Because that literally isn't true
The point that almost nobody seems to be making is that the original voice actress for Ginger was RECASTED, despite her submitting unedited clips and footage of her being able to maintain the same range for her character. For that reason alone, I'm not watching this
Right?! The snub on Julia Sawalha is shocking.
Whatever. It's only "ageism" because a female was involved. Voice actors get recast all the time. Such a stupid reason not to watch it.
@@easportssucks4347
Sex had nothing to do with it. I would've been just as upset over Mel Gibson's snub had he not been practically insane. This is just poor recasting on the part of Aardman (likely to preserve budget).
I wouldn’t call it TERRIBLE, but I wouldn’t call it GOOD either. Imo, it was “alright”. Cute, fun, had nice moments, but it also had a lot of meh points. The characterization of Rocky especially irks me. Ginger’s can be waved away with “of course her priorities changed, she’s a mother now, she has a child to protect”, even if at times it’s a little contrived.
In the first movie, Rocky WASN’T stupid. The movie makes it very clear that he, like Ginger, COULD escape! He even *did*! The difference was Ginger wouldn’t do so without the others, and Rocky would- until he wouldn’t. He wasn’t dumb, if anything he was smart, because he was very knowingly tricking the others before he bailed.
In the sequel… well, this was covered in the video. He’s a total idiot, he’s reduced to comic relief. It’s really unfortunate, it feels like he was just… wasted.
Negativity sells better so calling it just Alright wouldn't get views
@@Nuniixo the kinda mid chicken run sequel
15:18 ok in their defense, both of them were specifically looking for this van because of the poster they saw on the side. It showed a happen chicken so they thought it would bring them to a better life.
It wasn’t a random series of events, they purposefully went after it causing them to meet each other
I wish the movie showed how Mrs Tweedy survived being squished by falling doors.
I think it's Just cartoon logic
I've been wondering that for a long time, especially after seeing this sequel.
Same way she survived falling from the airship, and how she survived the pie machine exploding: 🤷🏻♂️
@@antifurryfoundation55 Is there NOTHING that can kill her?!
@@artbytesia probably not.
Chicken run was my favourite childhood movie but I didn't watch the sequel. I was surprised by all the positivity because I could see from face value it was missing everything I liked in the original - the gritty realism and danger of being livestock and the very british and WW2 themes.
The first one was tied to reality like a slightly happier plague dogs or watership down.
Same. It was my favorite movie from 2 till 8. I just loved it.
Didn't the first Chicken Run take place during the 50's? Why would the sequel be modern?
I remembering seeing that this one was supposed to more 1960's, hence the Bond level villian lair
@TheShapeshifter100 The Wanderer by Dion was indeed 1961, hitting the UK in early 1962.
I disagree. I think it was kinda good. Definitely not as good as the original but it did it's job as a sequel. But again it's your opinion:)
I think that it has some aspects to really love, but narratively it’s a bit of a sh*tshow.
Me and my brother don’t regret watching it though. :)
This is exactly what I'm thinking!!
It's quite like Early Man. I've seen SOOO many people hate on that, when for me, I personally quite enjoyed it!! I went to see it in cinemas when it came out and I had no problems with it, but then again I was like 10 at the time xD But still!! I don't think an Aardman film is bad, obviously some are a bit weaker than others, but none are particularly bad. It's Aardman!!
I have not watched it yet (that's why I watched this video first, to see if it is any good) but the plot sounds extremely generic. Not bad, just uninspired. Probably a fun watch in isolation but nothing to write home about
@onemoreweirdo207 Aardman movies never have good plots. You just watch them for the craftsmanship
It's boring, pretty to look a though
With what you said regarding the opening and atmosphere in general, I started to think: what if they showed them actually constructing this whole settlement of theirs?
In the first place, for them to follow up directly from the ending of the first movie, I think it just makes sense to put some emphasis on them having to still work and figure things out to improve their new lives
and in turn it would give us a natural transition from the settlement we saw in the first movie's epilogue to what it now looks like in this movie (rather than just starting with them having this whole perfect paradise right out the gate), as well as give off an atmosphere that's less bright and more grounded similar to the original
How the hell did Mrs. Tweedy survive? She got crushed by a barn door, at the very least she should be in a wheelchair, and/or hooked up to a colostomy bag.
Because plot..i guess
Terrible? NEVER! … It’s just Ok
I had no idea they made a sequel to that movie
also, the fact mrs. tweedy actually survived what she experienced at the end of the movie, including how she likely died to getting crushed by a house wall
if SOMEHOW she's still alive if we get a third one, then something is going on here and she may be the second coming of superman
This movie feels like it was made by Thomas Kinkade. Perfect comparison. The original felt a lot more realistic, so even though it was on a smaller scale, the stakes felt so much higher.
Imagine your local Chicken truck driver jsut picking up wild chickens off the road
LETZ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HERE 16 MINUTES AFTER BEING POSTED, love da videos Dazz, keep it up
The reason why people didn't pick up on Chicken Run being female led back in the day is because the movie didn't smash you over the face with the fact it was female led.
All the hens were well written characters with great dynamics with each other.
Main character doesn’t even look like a girl either on first sight, she looks like a chicken.
24:00 have you ever walked out of a cinema on a sunny day and your eyes have to take a few seconds to adjust?
I think its supposed to be like that
I still can’t believe we had to wait a whopping 23 years
If Gingers daughter Molly was so much like her mother, it would’ve worked better if she was willing to put herself in harms way to seek out the other chicken settlements that were being taken with no teaching first due to being cooped up by her mom, whilst Ginger has been trying to keep everyone’s safety foremost and not have a plan of action first to search .
They really do look like fondant
When I saw the trailer I thought that the villain was, like, Ms. Tweedy's daughter or something, but when I watched it and saw that it was actually her, I was like "Oh...She survived..."
It would've been a much better concept if the bright lighting and happiness of the ending in the first movie slowly turned into a similar fenced in setting like the beginning of the first movie but by the chicken's own design, the lighting wouldn't have to make it look dreary or dreadful but something that replicates the feeling of the new main character that the old main character had. Make a complex story where they had to lock themselves in and deprive themselves of their idealistic freedom to fend off the wild. The daughter character would then have an actual reason to want to explore different places and a reason to find the new farm so appealing. Maybe a chicken can get dragged off by a fox in a moment paralleling the first movie that directly causes the daughter to travel across the lake.
A message of freedom not always equaling happiness or security but control of your own life would be very interesting and complex for a kids movie to present.
Wait, isn’t chicken run just the great escape but with chickens
I was just watching Chicken Run last night with Grandma so this is a fun coincidence :>
THERE'S A SEQUEL!?
26:57 Do you think the 60s vehicles, the 60s outfits of Mrs Tweedy, the retro items and products the chickens are repurposing, the Thunderbirds Playset aesthetic of the Villain Base, the retro technology, and the 60s Era Hanna Barbera might be a hint that it's the 60s?
I don’t think chicken run Dawn of the nugget is disappointing at all. I watch it on Netflix it was actually very good. My kids loved it. Maybe the best Netflix movie I seen in a long time.
It was... Ok. I expected a bit more from it, but it was an ok movie
I think if they had a more shoddy enclosure in the new chicken farm and show how the brainwashed chickens see it as a grand paradise, for example. And when Tweedy shows up like really play with the scale, and play up the tyrannical dictator making an appearance, add some scars that really inhance the viciousness, etc.
Me just seeing the title of the video: There was a sequel???
Maybe a bit conversational, but I think this review of this movie was a little too harsh I believe that this movie is generally heartwarming and I great way to end the first movie, is it fantastic no, but as well I'm sure it wasn't supposed to be continued but even with that they did a really good hand of taking care of the topics in it.
of course the faults are their like, the animation becoming a bit cleaner and less of that rugged style before, but you have to remember that animation takes a lot and so the fact they now have technology to still keep that feeling of Claymation is huge and sure sad that they had to cut corners, and with rocky character being dumbed down is a bit dumb as well missing characters.
but even with all of those problems it is such a sweet and powerful movie that were missing out on with is the movies theme being in my opinion, "Generation Trauma" and "Family" with Ginger finally having that freedom and safety she can relax and take after her family and town so, of course they are going to be silly they already were but now with no looming threat of doom over them they can relax and why everything is so bring and cheery they are going to have fun. and even with the song being a pop song I think it shows how much Molly is growing into her own chicken and as a parent watching their young child growing up so fast and for ginger realizing Molly is going to wonder where she came from what is her story and want to explore and now ginger can't keep her safe with the safety of the island with the chicken farm,
which an other thing I believe it makes perfect sense that the new farm that Tweedy makes is going to be happy and cheery to make chickens feel safe as she fatten them up and take control so they won't leave and also to taste better, but she knows that they are smart so of course she would want to make it a high security place after how ginger messed it up her last farm and didn't want any mistakes again which makes sense for the horror that is relived over its fun bright vibe but it's not real its fake which makes it so scary to watch as one of the chickens are sent away for "winning" and I don't think we give it enough credit for that.
so of course, it's going to be over the top and as well I think it's more for a younger audience but even with that it holds gingers fears so well with her flashbacks because she wasn't over her trauma because as Dazz said it was either "confinement or death" and so the moment she realized that her daughter her family her town, could be in danger so of course she going to fear and do the best thing "hide" which Dazz said it was very out of her character and is really put down into our throats
but when then mac tells her mac is being conserved for her friend and obviously Ginger doesn't want others to know especially her daughter which I understand why Ginger didn't want to say anything about the danger because Molly would of pushed for more and more answers and as a mother dealing trauma of being in a LITTERAL camp of course she didn't want her daughter to know I do believe that there should of been a conversation but it also makes sense why she didn't either. and with all Molly finding her way to the Happy Farm she would find some chicken with her because of how every chicken wanted to get in and not only Molly being a pattern of things that is happening to other chickens. and this shows the best in the best part of this movie is when Ginger and Molly retinue with Ginger saying how she doesn't know who she is dealing with wanting to escape for her and herself and not having the proper words to say it but when ginger is found by Tweedy Shes back again in that fear of the past but being able to come back into herself being Ginger the strong leader that she is really makes this movie so eye opening and sweet to see how this story ends.
Butttt that's just my thoughts no hate for anyone i just love this fanzine dearly with it having such great themes for the characters and just make you feel so much with the character as well of course this movie isn't the best or terrible it's something is nice comfort movie to watch to let life slow down a little. but hey! maybe I'm bias idk i just thing personally it's a good family movie.
Fanzine
So true
I Love Chicken Run, it’s One of those Animated Movies you just can’t help but feel Enjoyment on how Much Fun it is, 10 out of 10, It’s One of Dreamworks and Aardman’s Greatest Film that I can Rewatch Everytime, as For Dawn of the Nugget, it’s a Fine Mediocre Film that’s a 5 out of 10, yes it has Flaws, Too Many In Fact, but I didn’t Hate It when at least the Stop Motion is still Impressive and the Cast are Solid, it’s Disappointing is some Areas that it’s a Movie you would watch Once and unlike the Original it doesn’t give you the Same Feeling or Rewatching It.
Okay but imagine how good this movie would be if it was them immediately after escaping the farm and trying to find a way to survive
This would've been a more interesting concept. Like how they found paradise, how they set up their town, how they dealt with potential rival birds in the sanctuary, etc.
I feel like the second bye bye line wouldn’t have been so bad if it was used like the first one
In the first movie it was knowing full well Ginger wouldn’t see Tweedy again
The second time they are STILL in the middle of the factory trying to get out with plenty of Time for Tweedy to get em again
Is it a perfect sequel? No
Is it a 👍 🎞 🎞? Yes
Do you want to know what I wish the Sequel could have been? Exploring the rooster's life and why he escaped. You know. World building and all
A prequel or a midquel would've been far more interesting ngl
Make a normal title ❌
Add *_TERRIBLE_* in *_TERRIBLE_* all *_TERRIBLE_* caps ✅(terrible)
I feel like Mrs. Tweedy was a bit flawed near the end, she had so many chances to strike, but she’s reduced to the stereotypical dumb villain trope. Whereas in the first movie she felt like a real and dangerous threat.
as much as this movie sucks, i genuinely want Ms Tweety as a killer in Dead by Daylight.... imma adult and that batter covered look she had in this movie genuinely frightened me a little
she went like... full 80s slasher villain for a good 4 minutes and i fucking LOVED it..... Aardman should honestly make something that
You're an adult yet you say things like "imma" , like a seven year old
Instead of blood and gore it’s just classic Aardman slapstick
...kinda weird and funny but i don't think it'll happen, Dead by Daylight is a horror multiplayer game with horror characters from all over, adding Ms Tweedy kinda..doesn't fit...and honestly if they do add her i will just be fucking shocked...and honestly as i'm writing this replay i'm just thinking if they'll add Rascal from Glitter Force..probably won't happen but it'll be fuckin hilarious
@@jubeaumont6305 And found small grammar issues
It just goes to show that some works are better left as standalone films or one hit wonders.
Didn't Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit have a larger box office?
I definitely would of liked a more darker sense of a threat in the movie.
But i guess they just listened to all the complainers who cried that their kids got scared of the first one 🙄🙄
Interesting that I was such a huge fan of the first movie yet never had any interest in watching the sequel. It seems my instincts were right on the money.
They disrespected the original voice of ginger Saying she was too old to revoice her which is bs. Super ageist
Women voices dont quite age like men voices do. I dont think she would have sounded much different then she did in the first one
You're not allowed to have that opinion.😂
Also, on Netflix, you can watch this in Japanese and there's a pun that not only translated perfectly into Japanese, but also meant the same thing. I love when that happens. I call it a "Holy Grail" or "Double Feature."
When I saw the ending of the forst movie i thought ROCKY GOT BUZZZAAAAAAYYYY with all those hens.
He fertilised their eggs no intimacy would be involved
@CherryHotSauce well I know that now but as a kid l...... I didn't know how the bucks be bucking
16:00 never expected Red Mountain act 2 as a background music here.
I’ll bet you 20$ that most of this was Netflix’s fault.
My favorite part is when he said it’s clucking time.
29:54 DUDE I COMPLETELY MISSED THAT 😮 Holy Shoot! What a last second, blink and you miss it cameo 😅
This is actually a really good movie with the heck
As a long time devoted Sonic fan. It’s crazy asf how all these creators are ‘All of a sudden’ using Sonic game audio in their videos.
I do love it but it’s still like.. *listens* woah
There should have obviously been a backround joke being mr tweedy's apple pie bakery
They replaced Mel Gibson with Zachary Levi? Thats's like relacing Jeffery Dahmer with Charlie Manson lol
One thing I will defend is the art direction. The more colourful palette melds really well with the 60s aesthetic of the film.
And given that this movie came out over 20 years after the original, which was set in WWII... you can see where I'm going with this.
There was a sequel?! No joke, this video is the first time I knew that the movie had a sequel.
Honestly, my favorite part of the movie hands down was when Mrs. Tweedy's new husband goes "........Nobody knows~!"
I’m sorry but I love Chicken run 2 :(
I’m pretty sure the original Chicken Run went to great lengths to smooth out the fingerprints, which Nick Park wasn’t a fan of, stating that he preferred the “thumby” look. They went back to showing the fingerprints for subsequent features (certainly the next couple of Wallace & Gromit films).
day 6 of every time dazz uploads asking him to review "meet the robinsons"
i kept rewatching this vid trying to figure out why i felt like there was a nother film recently that the plot wasnt great but the premise of a dystopian farm fit better in some ways.
its because somewhat ironically - i think the garfeild movie may have hit the premise a bit better.
the whole movie is lackluster for garfeild. but something about the idea of the corpate farm (in that movies case dairy ) having this fake feeling almost theme park mixed with petting zoo vibes feels like it would have been better for this movie and really pushing the idea .
like imagine if instead of it being pretty obvious looking traps outside or rather obstacles. it was instead something that played to their natural instincts more or even their traumas. image meeting a handful of chickens that were just kept around as free roaming mascot pets that genuinely had good care or something and the team having to argue their way around it . i guess kind of like Migration did as well recently.
the Danganronpa music really threw me off lol
I'd say this movie tainted the original, but I recently learned that taint is a bad word across the pond.
Brits, man. They come up with the darndest things...
Chicken Run Dawn Of The Nugget is a good sequel BUT we waited 23 Years for Chicken Run Dawn For this
Personally, I can live with this. This is honestly better than nothing. Also, it's not as bad as everyone says it is. And the song at the beginning is so catchy.
I personally liked Dawn of The Nugget, its a spin on the Utopia Vs. Dystopia genre, the first movie is a Dystopia for the chickens, a world filled with dirt, grime, blood, and pain, while the 2nd is a Utopia, filled with clean water, good food, no agony, and happy memories for the future to come, i say that as a long time fan of Chicken Run, and i was more than happy to see the 2nd movie be released and produced the way it was, Mrs. Tweedy surviving the second time DID get me a bit mad, it had me asking "HOW!?", like seriously, woman got boiled and crisped alive, NO HUMAN COULD SURVIVE THAT, it was a miracle she even survived the gravy boiler explosion in the first movie! But then i realized, then i thought back on one of Aardmans Wallace and Gromit's short films called Close Shave, seeing how the second movie ended, and seeing Mrs. Tweedy surviving, i dont think shes human to put it bluntly, Aardman doesnt do things without reason, its a miracle she survived the first time, but the second was more jaw dropping and head scratching than anything, she fell into an industrial meat grinder with a built-in fryer.
The first movie and second movie work perfectly together in my opinion, yeah it has its mess ups, but no movie is perfect, each one tells its story, same goes for their reason. If there ever is a "Brutal 3rd Installment", then i feel like the 3rd movie will be the movie where we get a perfect mix of Utopia and Dystopia, the Tweedy chickens freeing other chickens from other farms, we'll see the terrible conditions each one has and subsequently see Utopias/Dystopias for each farm, each with their own delusion, and Mrs. Tweedy might get her final appearance since there would finally be no more material to work with after the 3rd movie and we might get an explanation to how Mrs. Tweedy survived such deadly "accidents" in the 3rd movie, if we get lucky in both getting a 3rd installment and said plot point of Mrs. Tweedy's insane survival
[Well, i say thered be no material for a 4th installment, thats unless you count world domination via chicken, in which yes, thered be material for a 4th in that case lol]
I thought Chicken Run 2 was pretty enjoyable, but the first is just perfect
I personally liked it. It wasn't groundbreaking, but still an enjoyable watch, and sometimes, that's all you need in a movie.
What's with the sims3 loading music in the background of your recent videos makes me giggle
Chicken Run is my favorite movie hands down, I've seen it countless times since I was a little children and it's still good!
With that being said I cannot/will not watch this sequel. I have to preserve the legacy even when the creators will not. Great video sir! 🫡
Too true.
What’s wrong with Arman making there animation more clean? The animation is very good.
I'm so happy to hear Red Mountain just casually chillin in this XD
the trailer was enough for me to not want to see the sequel
Honestly I think a somewhat better way to write the "Fray" joke would be something like this:
"I don't wanna be sent out into the fray! I like to frolick."
Ya know, cuz Babs likes them holidays
Meanwhile the Entertainment Industry are scrolling down of which beloved Title/Franchise they will ruin next.
I remember being so disappointed with the sequel. In fact I hated it.
Tbh it wasn’t that bad. Ofc OG was best but this still could work at one time movie I watched and even laugh few times. Also I always appreciate stop motion. Still better than next minion movies
Might be just me, the original was set in a recognisable reality and I loved the surreal logic that allowed for - it was hilarious and gave great structure. I felt that the sequel didn't manage to set up the fantastical nature of the chicken farm properly. It felt really jarring suddenly going into a sci-fi movie and having none of the tropes established.
The baby's head is big because she's a baby and then her body grew larger. Just.... what?
if they had the colour palette of the og movie, then the paradise section would be all the more unnatural and jarring.
I remember how I liked watching stop motion movies because of how rare it is to see those kinds of movies I grew up watching wallace and gromit and I absolutely loved those ones including the original chicken run, I just cant believe how they wasted a sequel like this
what gets me is the first movie is set in the 50s, I'm positive they all, especially mrs tweedy, didn't live for 70 years and live. i don't count this as a sequal..
I'm only going by what I looked up on Google, and it says it's set in present day
Wait Chicken Run has a sequel?
Would’ve been better if the story started somewhere away from paradise, then we rediscovered paradise as the plot necessitated a return there, and then the plot put paradise at stake.
I haven’t watched this, so maybe paradise was put at stake. But I doubt it, just from the tone of all that I’ve seen.
I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that Aardman decided to create a sequel for Chicken Run, or the fact that it took them 23 years to even come up with the idea for a sequel in the first place
I think that they were trying to go for a bright horror aspect similar to Digital Circus. Bright palate, but laced with a creepy undertone. But it doesn't work well as the tone feels off.
I think mrs tweedy being alive didn't make any sense (in both movies)
I kindly disagree.
“Look at all those chickens!!” 🐓
