Suggestion for ya my good friend, React to Early Man, also made by Aardman and the same maker of Chicken run and many of your favorite stop motion animations.
The quality of this is incredible. I especially love the british humor. Apparently, this film got so close to being nominated for Best Picture, that it helped create the Best Animated Feature category.
One of my favorite animated films as a kid. Aardman never disappoints, to be honest. Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit, Flushed Away, and Shaun the Sheep are still great. Love them for keeping claymation and stop-motion alive, despite the genre not doing well financially today.
You know what makes Edwina's death more messed up and dark?? I have the feeling that she stopped laying eggs on purpose so she could get killed. Living in that awful farm was way too much for Edwina that she couldn't take it any longer. And you know what makes it much more sadder??? If she waited a bit longer when rocky arrived, then she could've tried to escape with everyone, she could've had a happy free life 😢
A hen can't stop laying eggs on purpose, but it's true that she could have asked her friends to passed her some of theirs, so I think she didn't want to live as a burden to the others.
After knowing that the movie is a animated version of the great escape (mind you I was a kid when I saw it) it reminds me of Ives finally cracking after they found the tunnel and tried to jump the barbed wire
I love how this film avoided the liar revealed trope. Not only because it’s the liar who is remorseful and decides to leave by himself but also because we don’t have a melodramatic conflict.
Chicken Run is one of the earliest movies I remember watching in my childhood. I always laughed at the part when one of the mice said “Kiss your bum goodbye.”
The part with Ginger reaching back into the pie machine to get her hat was in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' when Indy reached back into the trap to get his fedora. The long shot of Ginger walking down the length of the hut while the other chickens are all working on The Crate was the longest tracking shot ever in a stop-motion film. One of Aardman's funniest stop-motion properties was a semi-absurd comedy series about the adventures of four odd dogs. It was called 'Rex the Runt,' and it's quite funny, sort of in a 'Monty Python' vein. I highly recommend it.
This film terrified me as a young child. It wasn’t the type of animated film I was used to. As an adult, I have a newfound appreciation for it. It’s a beautiful film by early 2000s standards and holds up well today.
Critics loved this film so much they pushed the Academy to nominate it for Best Picture. Unfortunately it was not and the following year the category Best Animated Feature was created. I highly recommend the rest of the films by Aardman (Dreamsworks only distributed this and two other films) The Four Wallace and Gromit Shorts: A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave, A Matter of Loaf and Death, The film Wallace and Gromit Curse of the Wererabbit, Flushed Away, Pirates Band of Misfits, Arthur Christmas Early Man, and Two Shaun the Sheep Movies. Also Aardman recently announced a sequel for this film.
Aw, you cut the best line, "my life flashed before my eyes. It's very boring." I just realized that all those chicks are fathered by Rocky as he's the sole reproductive male. Thus every chicks are half siblings, at least they won't get too inbred assuming about half the chicks are male.
My siblings and I loved watching this movies when we were kids, my favorite scene was when the chickens were freaking out when they found out about the chicken pies, especially when Babs was like "I don't want to be a pie 😬 I don't like gravy 😃;" makes me laugh everytime 🤣🤣🤣
Babs is hilarious and that scene is no exception. I think my favorite line, though is after Mrs. Tweedy measured her and she fainted, her response was "All me life flashed before me eyes...it was really borin'." 😂
Mrs. Tweedy- Doesn't believe that the chickens could be trying to escape. Also Mrs. Tweedy- Witnessed chickens trying to escape in the entire opening of the movie and even asked her husband why Ginger was out. And I was thinking the same thing with the Thrust! Scene.. 😂
Man... I remember this back when I was a child and it was awesome. Todays cartoons needs to be a bit like this with a bit of darkness to it to let the world know that everything is not always fun.
With the chicken and the egg ordeal, the egg would have to come first because the chicken was an eventual mutation from a previous bird species that always used eggs to reproduce :) Glad you covered this movie; it's always been one of my favorites! :D
I used to have dozens of chickens in my farm from long time ago. But I never eat them. They're my pets and we do the organic eggs selling at the farmer's market.
One of the best creations of Aardman Animation. Despite the fact that the humor has become smaller, it has given way to constant tension and fear. I like that the creators present conflicts between the protagonists through their actions, and do not shove them by force. 🇬🇧
I am so happy to see this on my feed! It's one of my favorite animated films but I feel like it's so underrated, especially the soundtrack. It was composed by Harry Gregson-Williams and John Powell who also did the soundtracks for the Shrek franchise. Gregson-Williams also worked on several Metal Gear Solid game soundtracks while Powell worked on How to Train Your Dragon. The sequel is to be released next year on Netflix which I am... cautiously optimistic for.
Interesting to note: While the majority of the voice cast are British or Scottish, their sole American voice actor Mel Gibson never got to meet with his fellow voice actors. So he recorded all of his lines separately.
This masterpiece is my favorite stop motion movie. Why go see a CHICKEN LITTLE, when we can see a CHICKEN RUN? But seriously, this movie is what made me a fan of stop motion and AARDMAN. Can’t wait for sequel, even though if feels pointless.
9:09 Scotland doesn't have an official national anthem as it's still officially part of the UK (views being fairly split as to whether they should be independent or not, I think there's fair amount of 'yes but not now), but it has a few unofficial anthems sung at big events - they put it to a public vote every few years. A couple of years ago 'Flower of Scotland' was voted most popular so it's the one generally being sung. However another popular one is 'Scotland the Brave' (there are two different lyrics) so that might be what she was thinking of when Rocky said 'Land of the free, home of the brave'.
Great reaction! This such an underrated gem! There’s a sequel coming where Ginger and Rocky will have their own chick and this time, they’re breaking in. 🐔🐣🐥
"Chicken Run" teaches us that freedom is not given to you on a silver platter. You have to fight to earn it, and enemies will pay for the blood they have spilled. 🔥
The trope from getting the hat before the trap closes on it is from the Indiana Jones franchise. If you haven't seen those movies yet, I'd highly recommend it because it's Harrison Ford at his best (along with it being another franchise from the minds of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas and music by John Williams).
Glad you decided to watch this, it's one of my favorites, I recommend checking out some more Aardman's work with Wallace and Gromit, The Pirates! Band of Misfits and maybe Flushed Away
Chicken Run, Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach. The only claymation films i remember from my childhood and the best to date in my opinion 😄 Glad you got to see this, it's such an odd movie with gems sprinkled everywhere
I would watch this every week when I was a kid. Now that I'm an adult, I understand all the references to the 1963 movie The Great Escape. If you haven't seen that movie, you should.
This is such a favourite animated film of mine when I was a kid! Aardman has created some of the best films back in the days and fun characters that really made my childhood fun. Wallace and Gromit, Flushed Away, Shaun the sheep, Early Man and of course Chicken Run! I love claymotion films like this and really excited for the sequel next year! Loved your reaction Timothee and gonna subscribe for future reactions!
Reference to this animated comedy are from multiple "WWII prisoner escape movies." Especially, from "The Great Escape" (1963) starring many famous celebrities including Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Colburn, David McCallum, Richard Attenborough, and Donald Pleasence, to name a few. A must-see if you haven't already.
This was a great surprise! So happy to see this movie getting some attention. Chicken Run is a classic at this point! Its great! Its actually inspired by the movie The Great Escape, which is a great movie! Highly recommend. It does have some dark moments (especially 'the scene'), but it helps elevate what the chickens situation is, so you root for them to escape for the rest of the movie. Also I LOVE British humor, so add that to stop motion animation and you have a spot on the top! Plus its a really entertaining movie :)
This was my very first introduction to Aardman animation, I remember seeing this in the theatre and loved how this stop motion animation looks. It’s still a great movie to this day and why I still love this kind of animation.
What fascinated me most about the movie was the plane the chickens built. They essentially built an ornithopter that used realistic bird wings and pistons to generate lift. While building an ornithopter that size in real life probably wouldn’t work, it would be amazing if someone tried.
The score had a very toy story feel, also the bit where she explodes by her pie machine is a reference to MW3 from 2011 When Makarov is all *Goodbye captain price* but then yuri saves the chickens and ginger takes a puff puff of her cigar lol
I always loved this movie as a kid (and still do as an adult), Aardman is a very underrated animation studio they make quality stories that match up to Pixar IMO. I would also recommend checking out Wallace & Gromit (the animated shorts are masterpieces, and the movie; The Curse of the Were-rabbit is fantastic)!
You’re not wrong about the movie being dark at least it ain’t the darkest movie you’ve seen and that movie is still a fan favorite that many love including myself❤
This film has a special place in my heart, in the depths of my childhood's memories, because it was the first movie my father bought to me in DVD, and I watched it so many times I can't even count! I have a huge endearment for it! 💖 Thanks a lot for have unblocked these precious remembrances! 😍
This is superb Clamation, a long way from the reality for chickens around the world living in a human made hell on the most monstrous scale imaginable.
Something that can be easily confusing is how Rocky left the fence like twice. Ginger was able to get out herself, and even admitted that getting 1 or 2 chickens out of the fence is doable. What Ginger wants to do (and stated to Rocky) is get the whole group out at once. Or a massive amount at a time. With the 2 guard dogs, and Mr. Tweety patrolling the farm, they'll get easily noticed almost immediately. It's easy to confuse it because when I first watched it I was like "How are they having a hard time?? Rocky got out twice. Not to mention the 2 rats." But like I said, completely different when you're moving a huge amount of chickens out 😅
This is one of the best claymation films by Aardman! While Wallace & Gromit is the director’s signature work, Chicken Run proved to be an equally great movie as the former!
Hey Tim, I saw your biopic reaction yesterday and I gotta say you'd probably love The Dirt. Which is a movie based on the autobiography written by the band Mötley Crüe. It's amazing fun
I loved this film sm when I was young but didn’t really understand it until I got older and realised how dark and real it actually is but also has great humour in it to still let you enjoy it atleast!
What's cool is that this movie is loosely inspired by The Great Escape which is about Allies troops attempting to escape a POW camp. In the beginning of the film they even have the same tunnel dug in the film, a similar main theme and the same type of solitary confinement!
i was terrified of this movie as a kid it came out when i was 5 and i must have seen it when it was released to vhs because it was still new and my parents didn't realize how dark it would be
I love when comedies make references to other genres or movies in very subtle ways, not blantly making a reference to things, like "I'm giving her all she's got" is to Scotty in Star Trek
You need to watch the film that inspired Chicken Run; The Great Escape. Instead of chickens on a farm, it's got British and American POWs in a German prison camp during WWII.
I probably watched this movie more than any other, it's honestly an amazing movie that deserves more love. That scene where Ginger puts the poster together still feels incredibly dramatic
You should definitely watch more claymation films in the future. With Halloween coming up, you should check out Nightmare before Christmas, Coraline, Corpse Bride; so many films I enjoy in this category. Love your videos ❤
Oh Yeah Chicken Run! Ah I remember watching this a lot as a kid growing up on Cartoon Network back in the 2000s days. its been a real long while since I've last seen it...but man its brings back so many memories. For another Dreamworks classic you should totally check out Spirit : Stallion of the Cimarron which is yet another good 2d Dreamworks movie that can be a pretty emotional ride and story.
I really love this movie and the style is incredible and fantastic. If I had to love any character in this movie Ginger would my favorite. Great reaction Tim.
The some of the scenes is so amusing and interesting but others, certainly without any doubt, shows the true darkest histories from Auschwitz. Chicken farm=Concentration camps, Dogs=Nazi guards, Chickens=Jews/Polish/British/French/Prisoners of War, Rocky=Hope from America, Pie Machine= Gas showers, Rocky-shaped gravy pies=bodies, Explosion= Nuclear explosion. I can't really tell which word alone described this movie; comedy or tragedy?
I guess you could say Mr.Tweedy is a...HENPECKED husband. (I'm not sorry.) I love the Wallace and Gromit shorts and I loved stuff like "Flushed Away". I love stop motion animation. I'd definitely suggest some of the Laika films for you Tim, especially with Halloween coming("Coraline" and "Paranorman"are definitely Halloween type films! However, you can always check out any of them whenever you like(I particularly love "Kubo and the Two Strings". Fantastic movie!) "Like a fish!"is still one of my favourite lines.
Totally agree, the chicken comes first. Great reaction to a great classic with a lot of childhood nostalgia. I'm excited about the sequel that comes out next year.
AWESOME REACTION! I LOVED "Chicken Run" it's one of my most favorite stop-motion movie of all time and I would put it with "Toy Story 3" also that's how I got into "The Great Escape".
glad you did chicken run this is a childhood fave i loved this movie it was sad that the studio burned down and all the clay models burned but soon there is gonna be a chicken run 2 over 20 years later
The same people that made this also created Wallace And Gromit. 😁 Make sure you watch the original three shorts (Grand Day Out, Wrong Trousers, and Close Shave) before you see the Wallace and Gromit Movie!
Idk if this is true, but I heard somewhere that this movie was supposed to make an allusion to how the Jews were treated in the concentration camps during World War 2. That means Mrs. Tweedy is essentially the farmer version of Hitler
This is more so related to the movie 'The Great Escape'. A movie about American POWs trapped behind enemy lines in concentration camps by the Nazis. They all work together to try and make multiple ways to escape. There is even a character nicknamed the 'Cool King'. His job was to escape on purpose, scout the area and path, get caught and sent back to camp. The guards would usually lock him in a solitary cell where he was only allowed a baseball and glove. In the end, a group escapes, but most are caught and either killed or taken back to camp. After which, the allies come across the camp and free them. After being separated and moved around in other camps because the guards didn't want to take a chance with another escape attempt. The most famous method was digging a tunnel and getting past the fence into the nearby forest.
As a kid it never dawned on me that it was basically an animated version of the great escape (well I WAS only a kid when I saw it) but now having watched the great escape (one of my favourites btw) it’s way funnier

Chicken Run is one of the earliest movies I remember watching in my childhood. I always laughed at the part when one of the mice said “Kiss your bum goodbye.”
The part with Ginger reaching back into the pie machine to get her hat was in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' when Indy reached back into the trap to get his fedora.
The long shot of Ginger walking down the length of the hut while the other chickens are all working on The Crate was the longest tracking shot ever in a stop-motion film.
One of Aardman's funniest stop-motion properties was a semi-absurd comedy series about the adventures of four odd dogs. It was called 'Rex the Runt,' and it's quite funny, sort of in a 'Monty Python' vein. I highly recommend it.
Actually, “Temple of Doom” was the moment where he got the fedora before the trap door closed, but close.
It’s been 22 years, and “I don’t wanna be a pie, I don’t like gravy!” STILL makes me laugh too this day😂😂
This film terrified me as a young child. It wasn’t the type of animated film I was used to. As an adult, I have a newfound appreciation for it. It’s a beautiful film by early 2000s standards and holds up well today.

You need to watch the film that inspired Chicken Run; The Great Escape. Instead of chickens on a farm, it's got British and American POWs in a German prison camp during WWII.

You should definitely watch more claymation films in the future. With Halloween coming up, you should check out Nightmare before Christmas, Coraline, Corpse Bride; so many films I enjoy in this category. Love your videos ❤
Oh Yeah Chicken Run! Ah I remember watching this a lot as a kid growing up on Cartoon Network back in the 2000s days. its been a real long while since I've last seen it...but man its brings back so many memories. For another Dreamworks classic you should totally check out Spirit : Stallion of the Cimarron which is yet another good 2d Dreamworks movie that can be a pretty emotional ride and story.
I really love this movie and the style is incredible and fantastic. If I had to love any character in this movie Ginger would my favorite. Great reaction Tim.
Love this movie! Lots of inspiration from an old WWII themed movie called the Great Escape
17:11
The hat thing comes from Indiana Jones
chicken run was our favorites as kids i love claymation like wallace and grummit
had the psone game and everything loved it
Great reaction Tim
Can't wait for the sequel
27:22 On the plus side I think that's the first time the dogs have looked happy in this movie
This movie was my childhood i cannot wait til the new one comes out. Even if the original cast cant do it.
The some of the scenes is so amusing and interesting but others, certainly without any doubt, shows the true darkest histories from Auschwitz. Chicken farm=Concentration camps, Dogs=Nazi guards, Chickens=Jews/Polish/British/French/Prisoners of War, Rocky=Hope from America, Pie Machine= Gas showers, Rocky-shaped gravy pies=bodies, Explosion= Nuclear explosion. I can't really tell which word alone described this movie; comedy or tragedy?
This was largely an homage to classic POW films like Stalag 17 and The Great Escape.
I guess you could say Mr.Tweedy is a...HENPECKED husband. (I'm not sorry.)
I love the Wallace and Gromit shorts and I loved stuff like "Flushed Away". I love stop motion animation. I'd definitely suggest some of the Laika films for you Tim, especially with Halloween coming("Coraline" and "Paranorman"are definitely Halloween type films! However, you can always check out any of them whenever you like(I particularly love "Kubo and the Two Strings". Fantastic movie!)
"Like a fish!"is still one of my favourite lines.
Totally agree, the chicken comes first.
Great reaction to a great classic with a lot of childhood nostalgia. I'm excited about the sequel that comes out next year.
I have always loved Chiken Run. The creator Nick Park is a genius. You should watch another clayanimation, WALLACE & GROMIT: CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT.
AWESOME REACTION! I LOVED "Chicken Run" it's one of my most favorite stop-motion movie of all time and I would put it with "Toy Story 3" also that's how I got into "The Great Escape".
glad you did chicken run this is a childhood fave i loved this movie it was sad that the studio burned down and all the clay models burned but soon there is gonna be a chicken run 2 over 20 years later
Wow, I didn't know that
@@a.g.demada5263 about the fire or chicken run 2?
This movie brings back memories I used to watch this a lot when I was young I used to watch this a lot and I still do today
The same people that made this also created Wallace And Gromit.
😁
Make sure you watch the original three shorts (Grand Day Out, Wrong Trousers, and Close Shave) before you see the Wallace and Gromit Movie!
R.I.P. Tony Haygarth and Benjamin Whitrow
I wish other animated movies were like this!! What a classic movie! And i also love Wallace and Gromit
Omg I absolutely love this movie so happy you reacted to it lol
Idk if this is true, but I heard somewhere that this movie was supposed to make an allusion to how the Jews were treated in the concentration camps during World War 2.
That means Mrs. Tweedy is essentially the farmer version of Hitler
It's true and according to Internet, some scenes are inspired by the movie " The Grand Escape " but the way the little houses are make it obvious
This is more so related to the movie 'The Great Escape'. A movie about American POWs trapped behind enemy lines in concentration camps by the Nazis. They all work together to try and make multiple ways to escape. There is even a character nicknamed the 'Cool King'. His job was to escape on purpose, scout the area and path, get caught and sent back to camp. The guards would usually lock him in a solitary cell where he was only allowed a baseball and glove. In the end, a group escapes, but most are caught and either killed or taken back to camp. After which, the allies come across the camp and free them. After being separated and moved around in other camps because the guards didn't want to take a chance with another escape attempt. The most famous method was digging a tunnel and getting past the fence into the nearby forest.
mrs. tweedy is a Wrathful Gaoler type of villain and mr. tweedy is a Paranoid Right-Hand
2:48 I don’t know why but I find that shot very funny for some reason 😂
I loved this! Thanks, Timothée! 🐔 #TimotheeReacts #PeterLord #NickPark #ChickenRun
I friggin LOVE this movie!!!
It never gets old!
My solution to the chicken-egg-question: The egg was first. A dinosaur laid the egg where the first chicken came from
Eh, that's a great supposition 👍
As a kid it never dawned on me that it was basically an animated version of the great escape (well I WAS only a kid when I saw it) but now having watched the great escape (one of my favourites btw) it’s way funnier
