Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget Review | An Unnecessary Sequel

- It’s the dawn of a new review as I get to talk about Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. As it is the sequel to the highly beloved Chicken Run, I discover in this review that just because Ginger and Rocky’s last adventure was great, that doesn’t mean we needed a sequel.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget Review | An Unnecessary Sequel

Fun Fact: Crushed walnut shells were used to create road surfaces in the film, while the soil texture on the chicken village set was made from recycled fallen leaves from a leylandii tree outside the studio
I think the original Chicken Run was a lot better because you knew the chickens had very limited resources so there was more tension when Mr and Mrs Tweedy caught them because their resources felt like a one shot attempt, and if they failed, they were stuck forever, awaiting their pie fate.
In DOTN, they have so much resources, they feel too safe and its like you know they're going to survive. I wish there was a more gritty take to be honest, and I wished there was less modernity than this. Like yes a bigger farm, but perhaps give Mrs Tweedy the bare necessities she needed to make her nugget business nearly successful.
This is technically 50s to 60s.
@@islesofforeignrails7917 the only thing I confused about was Phil fry motive In chicken run 2.
@@zoelindwall637 dr fry? He is just a doormat like mr tweedy
I knew it would never quite match the excellence of the original, but while unnecessary, for what it is, I think it's pretty good. The stop motion is great as always, plus I'm just a sucker for Aardman's style of British humor and slapstick.
Me: Sorry kid but I'm done with Animat
@@Avatar.and.PokemonFan2002 Huh?
@Avatar.and.PokemonFan2002 clearly shows that you don't care about Animat. If you have a problem with him, then leave the comment section, because no one gives two shits what you've got to say
If there was a sequel Aardman should’ve made instead of one to ‘Chicken Run’, it would be a potential revival with ‘The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists’. Not only it would have less controversial miscasting and a similar direct-to-DVD plot, but it would have also been better than the last two cash-grabbing ‘Pirates of the Caribbean' sequels during the 2010 decade.
Well yes but actually yes
I 100% agree. I LOVE The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists (Aka The Pirates! Band of Misfits!). It’s my favourite Aardman film.
I think it helps that Pirates! was kinda open ended, it's a bunch of silly pirates having adventures, it actually works for more episodic stories, similar to Wallace and Gromit. Chicken Run was more a one and done story admitedly, you really need a meaningful new premise to go back to it.
@@e-122psi3 I agree.
Also there’re still a bunch of books in the series that haven’t been adapted.
I love how 7 years ago, everyone would bring up "They need to make a Chicken Run 2!" when it comes to the original's movie's topic. Now here we are, if people don't like the sequel, they'll suddenly say "Who asked for a sequel? Hollywood is sooooo unoriginal"
I'll be sure to remember this when Shrek 5 comes out.
While I’m sure Shrek 5 won’t be too disappointing, I can’t help but laugh at this comment anyways.
Chicken Run fans in 2016: We need a sequel to Chicken Run. Why haven’t Aardman made Chicken Run 2?!
Chicken Run fans in 2023: Who the hell was asking for a sequel to Chicken Run? Hollywood is running out of ideas.
Me: Literally you guys 7 years ago. 🤦
Because we thought it could work.
Clearly, it turned out fine.
Because that's what people specialise in nowadays, complaining.
@@joshuaW5621 What's wrong with people? They said they want a sequel to Chicken Run and since it's already released, they're complaining about that? Are they dumb or something? 😂
@@joshuaW5621I never even asked for a sequel even in 2016 at all, even back then I preferred it as stand alone
I'll give Bella Ramsey credit. She can play more characters than just Ellie.
She was also Hilda
Yeah, I do give them credit they nailed it like they did Ellie.
(Tfw, I thought I mightve been the only one who enjoyed The Last of Us here 😅)
I know right, I enjoy her role as Molly after all I enjoy The Last Of Us show.
Bella did a great job as Molly, in fact their performance was on par with the elderly cast
@@danielgudinojuarez6729 That is why I was mostly excited for the sequel its meet the daughter of Ginger and Rocky, Molly is such an wonderful character to loved.
As much as i enjoyed the sequel, the original will always be the best one. Dawn Of The Nugget was pretty decent but just like you said, it was unnecessary. The first movie did ended on a very good note with everyone being free and happy, so i don't see why they would get another conflict. And honestly, ginger being an extremely overprotective mother with molly gave me ariel and melody vibes because just like ariel, molly is so curious about the outside world and wants to explore it, and ginger doesn't tells her the actual reasons why it's a bad idea, all she tells her "no, it's dangerous!" so molly thinks ginger is overreacting and runs away. Like all ginger had to tell her was "you see, humans eat chickens. Me and everyone else were prisoners in a chicken farm where this cruel human would kill us if we couldn't lay anymore eggs. That's why i don't want you to go out there. Humans could kill you."..... it's not so freaking hard 🤦🏽♀️
I cannot stand when parent characters never tell their kids the whole truth about very important things, like if they really want their kids to understand why this or that is bad, then they need to tell them the whole truth and reasons.
Yea. The one simple thing Ginger could've done, explain the trauma she went through, and it could've changed everything.
@@rosapayne5660 exactly. This is why I am glad my mom always explained to me and my sisters when we were kids about the dangerous things that happen outside, she warned us about bad people like kidnappers and many other kinds of dangers there are out there. Some parents need to stop sugar coating and accept the fact that their children must learn about the dark side of reality.
@@firemiracle Mine did, too.
@@firemiracle But wait, she can't tell Molly about the dangers of the other side because if she did, we wouldn't have a movie, which in this case, I really think we could have done without since the original already wrapped things up perfectly.
@@rosapayne5660 Same with mine, those lessons were thumped into our heads when my brother and I were little, I had a literal coloring book that said all about 'stranger danger'
I do like the symbolism of the daughter being trapped in paradise while the mother is trapped in prison.
I believe that the paradise is a gilded cage
On reflection, Julia Sawalha sounding older could have fit with Ginger being a mother now. Missed opportunity.
Exactly
I know right!!! But instead, Netflix always ruins everything 😤😤😤
It's actually because Julia Sawalha and Mel Gibson signed contracts with DreamWorks animation in 2000. But since Aardman and DreamWorks stopped working together In 2007, they couldn't bring them back. Voice actors who could reprise their roles actually signed contracts with Aardman, not DreamWorks.
@@Natalie_Milana7 not to be rude, but if I’m being honest I find that is a dull excuse porn actress not to return
exactly and aardman blew it
I’m a bit disappointed that Mrs Tweety didn’t die. The way she went out in the first movie was hilarious to me as a kid.
I know, same with me. I was pissed when I saw her come back in this movie
@@GamerKid64 To be fair, if falling from that height and being at ground zero of an exploding machine full of boiling gravy didn't kill her, it's no surprise a farm door being slammed on her head didn't, either.
@@WonkyTonkBotty But she was still really critically injured before the barn door fell on her
Growing up I always wanted a sequel to this movie to see what happens after they achieve paradise and for me at least this movie did not disappoint.
Mrs Tweedy is now a Bond villain 😆
14:32 to be fair, she did survive falling from the plane that was like thousands of feet in the air, the over 100 degree gravy pressure rising, and her old pie machine exploding. So in conclusion, I wouldn't expect a falling barn door of all things to kill her
That's my thought exactly.
Incidentally with all the pop culture references to other movies, am I the only one who thinks the fight with Ginger on the plane could have been inspired by the epic fight to the death between Bond and Necros in the Living Daylights?
That may be so, but a line has to be drawn somewhere. After all, this is an animated feature, not a Wile E. Coyote cartoon. (Also, #ReleaseCoyoteVsAcme.).
The recasting of Ginger is even weirder as I believe many dubs actually DID use the original voice of Ginger, so why couldn't the original English one do it?
It floors me that they said that Julia's voice was "too old" but not only does she sound exactly the same, but in the context of the film, Ginger _would_ be older given she's now a mother to a preteen and an established leader.
I can highly agree that this sequel is not necessary since the plot has a lot of problems where it feels like Aardman’s equivalent to a direct to video Disney sequel. I did enjoy some of the humor, and the animation and action was really fun to watch. I would put Chicken Run 2 close to the ranks of Flushed Away where it’s not as legendary as the first or even the Wallace and Gromit films, but it’s at least ok for what is for. They should’ve kept Julia as Ginger honestly
I think that the person who directed this also co directed flushed away! (Sam fell)
@@piefatal I did not know that, but thank you for telling me
The moral of this story #1: the next time you make a sequel that rehashes the original, make sure you find the right execution to make it stand out on its own
The moral of this story #2: the next time you make a sequel to a movie that stands on its own, be careful with writing the script
The moral of this story: Never ever recast the actors in an unfair way to treat to, especially Ginger’s voice actor’s age. And make Sure this story is connected to the original.
@@jillianefaithcobre8637 and don’t forget to explain how Tweedy survived or use a new villain instead
@@jamesgeorgi6627they wanted to use only dr fry at first, but they decided to add mrs tweedy because she is ginger 's archenemy
Another continuity break from the original film: the first film ends with the island full of young yellow chicks. But the only roosters on the island are Rocky and Fowler. As a black-out gag to end the movie you don't think much of it, but they ignore that ending in the new movie. They could have explained that part as Rocky's nightmare before he woke up in the second movie.
Anyone else notice the coincidence of Mel Gibson, who voiced Rocky in the first film and John Smith in Pocahontas, was replaced by Zachary Levi, who also voiced a Disney prince?
At least they got his nose right, or beak in this case I guess.
What sequel was he in? I’m sure it wasn’t Pocahontas.
I know right, pretty how how two actors who voice Disney Prince did the voice of the same rooster, I have made an video of Mel Gibson's John Smith voice Rocky and Zachary Levi's Flynn Rider voice Rocky Too: ruclips.net/video/NGWpIXcOb-o/видео.htmlsi=E_soIMfTpWqJEZOz
I thought I was the only one that noticed!
Another one of the few good things about this film is that, thanks to having to remodel the characters, it feels as if they came back after having been destroyed in the Aardman fire
Since this sequel isn’t going to offer an explanation for how Mrs. Tweedy survived the door slamming on her, I’ll offer my own:
She got a “Get Out of Hell” pass from a certain kid in an orange hood who’s always sent down there and uses his “Get Out of Hell” pass to come back to life and, in his mind, “since he’s used his pass so many times, it would be considerate to give it to someone else who had need of it”.
There, that’s my explanation. It may not be great, but it’s at least an EXPLANATION for her return.
Couldn’t mrs tweedy survive from a wooden door? Since wooden door is not hard as a concrete, which could kill her. My theory is that she somehow survived after being stuck in a gravy machine while it blew up while also withstanding the force of a falling wooden door after that.
Maybe she got super lucky and that wooden door didn't kill her on impact giving her a chance to return to her old ways in the sequel but now with evil bond villain gear.
I’m a little disappointed that she didn’t die.
Can the door slam really kill you
@@gablit-gt8kk it wont kill, but will hurt for awhile after being slammed by the wooden door
My favourite scene was the super-long overdramatic reveal of Mrs. Tweedy. It must have taken her 30 seconds to walk down those stairs.
Imagine if it were 50 or a 💯 steps.
There is a myth that says Mrs. Tweedy is a grandgrandgrandgrandgrandgrandma of terminator himself.
Hey, one does not walk the Bond villain life, one owns it.
Wish they didn't spoil that reveal in the trailers.
And that just so happens to be my least favorite scene, because *she’s supposed to be dead*
YESSSSS!! Thank you for mentioning Julia Sawalha’s lack of involvement here! Her redubbing video was so boss & amazing! JUSTICE FOR JULIA SAWALHA! 🙌
Totally, that was pretty harsh by Aardman of why recasting by saying her voice is too old, example look at Disney as they brought back the original Disney Princesses voice actress's decades later as they are never too old.
@@TheImaginator972 Yeah i don't understand either. If anything the new voice sounds older then Julia
@@TheImaginator972 In fairness though, Disney HAVE committed the same stuff before. For example they turned down Paul Winchell for The Tigger Movie, with little explanation but a letter saying "Too raspy". Allegedly they did the same thing to Sterling Halloway when he auditioned to reprise Pooh in the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh series. I mean, I like Jim Cummings' performance as Pooh as much as the next guy, but yeah, that's pretty unceremonious treatment.
Hell even some veteran actors who DID reprise their work got it dubbed over later on by a younger actor, like Kathryn Beaumont in Return to Neverland or Phil Harris for Talespin.
Aardman should re release this movie on DVD and call it chicken run dawn of the nugget the julia sawallha cut with her voice dubbed in the movie no disrespect to the new actress who voice Ginger but when i first heard that she was replaced im on her side because she said that she can still do ginger voice. So i am on team Julia because i grew up watching the first chicken run on dvd.
Agreed, even though Thandiwe Newton did nothing wrong. But JULIA will always and forever be my Ginger!!! ✊✊✊🐤
I know that a Chicken Run sequel was unnecessary, but considering that we had Trolls: Band Together and that movie was terrible, it couldn’t been much worse.
I wanted to know about Rocky’s circus backstory so badly! There was such a good opportunity in the movie but it was told offscreen! It’s also like the movie forgot Fowler exists and that he’s some old chicken who saves everyone right at the end like he don’t fly a plane despite not knowing how to in the first movie! This movie was really fun to watch especially the 2D segments but it should’ve been written differently. Like at least have Molly KNOWING the chickens are dying out there but goes out anyway cause she wants to help them out instead of the typical “I wanna go out there” doesn’t help that her parents are too cowardly to tell her why she can’t leave.
I think Aardman knew that the sequel will never be has great has the first.
But they made it a enjoyable watch.
It's nice to see these characters come back, and it shows us the adventure after the 1st.
You said it, that is why I was happy to see my childhood favorite characters return or a new adventures.
This movie was too light hearted. Og was dark as hell this was just too kid friendly
Damn if there turns out to be a Third Chicken Run and Rocky gets a new voice actor and that guy gets into controversy then it’d gonna start turning to a trend 💀
And another pattern being voiced by a disney prince, since Mel Gibson voiced John Smith and Zachary Levi voiced Flynn Rider.
"As much as I love Chicken Run, I was never really excited about the idea of a sequel...I feel like it's one of those films that's great on its own. It ended off on a good note for the characters and all the loose ends had been tied. Why choose to create new conflicts for them, especially when it's been over two decades since they did anything with the property?"
My feelings exactly.
I also sign that comment. I absolutely loved the first film, it was great back then and still holds up well today, Aaardman at its absolute best. So of course I don't mind a sequel, but then again, I don't think it's necessary. The first film was so good and let the story end with such a satisfactory conclusion for all involved that I simply don't think there's any need to tell the story any further. I can very well live with what I know from the first film and feel like any sequel would only make the story worse.
You do realize that most sequels are unnecessary, right? Calling a sequel unncessary is most of the time like calling the sky blue.
Guessing this will be the Ralph Breaks the Internet of Aardman where it's reputation gets worse as years go by
honestly, the behind the scenes for chicken run: dawn of the nugget is more interesting than the movie itself lol
Now that's telling of this film's quality lol
I liked both the sequel and the original but the making of the sequel is interesting enough for a doc to made out of it.
You got to give credit to Aardman as they really put everything when they wanted to make an sequel like Chicken Run Dawn Of The Nugget.
"Damn, that's rough."
I gave Dawn of the Nugget an 8/10.
I just saw this movie last night and I absolutely agree with everything mentioned in this review. The original “Chicken Run” is one of my all-time favorite animated films, but that first movie was so well crafted and self-contained with a definitive ending, I never really wanted, let alone expected, Aardman to do a sequel. “Dawn of the Nugget” had some interesting ideas from a visual standpoint, but suffers from creative bankruptcy with its story that falls WAY too hard on tired family movie cliches. When people say this movie feels like one of the direct-to-DVD Disney sequels from the 2000’s, I can definitely see why (I got A LOT of “Little Mermaid 2” and “The Lion King 2” vibes watching this).
With that said, I didn’t hate this movie. It obviously could’ve been a lot better, but it wasn’t a total bore to watch, either. It did manage to keep my attention for the duration of its runtime, which more than I can say about most of the direct-to-DVD Disney sequels. It’s definitely watchable.
Personally, I view “Dawn of the Nugget” in the same vein as “Ghostbusters 2” and “Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey.” It’s not terrible, but it’s definitely a step down from the original.
And that's how we end 2023 with this movie. We can only hope 2024 will be a much better year for animation. Not before we get to the top 5 best and worst animated films of 2023 coming soon.
Honestly, I feel like this at best would be better as 30 minute special similar to the wallace and gromit cartoons, instead of a feature film. The plot can be fun and entertaining, but doesn’t have that same emotional impact of the first film and comes off a bit boring at certain points. The animation is still as strong as first film. The characters are now just one dimensional version of themselves, but I still like nick and fetcher in this. Also, replacing some of the cast, except for Mel Gibson, really didn’t make any sense. But I’ll give props for Bella Ramsay’s performance as Molly, who’s basically a chicken version of Hilda. It’s really a 6.5/10
The Boy and the Heron 9/10
Nimona 9/10
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 9/10

I think that’s that chicken’s ID number? All of the chickens with those chokers have one.
This year sucked when it came to animated films!!! The strike really did affected everyone
@@SEGASister It's b/c her number is the same as Animat's on his channel.
@@danielgudinojuarez6729 yeah, we didn't get at least one movie at 10/10.

It maybe An Unnecessary Sequel but I still like it
At first, I was excited for this movie when I saw the teaser. Then, when the trailet came out, I was bummed that it was a genric "I want more out of my life than being caged up" and "Ginger isn't telling her freaking daughter important things to why she doesn't want her out there."
But, hey, I still like the movie.
Well, looks like Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget didn’t get the AniMat Seal of Garbage again.
I would be very angry if he ever did give Chicken Run 2 the Ani-Mat Seal Of Garbage but luckily he didn't.
As a fan of Aardman, I really enjoyed this film!
I would say the problem of this film being unnecessary may be more on the team at Netflix than the one at Aardman.
Maybe I'm wrong, but in the end, I enjoyed it, and that's all I can ask for.
Rocky was definitely disappointing
Same here even though I miss Ginger’s old voice
And we can just blame how DreamWorks pushes Aardman too far which is why they ended their partnership.
Aardman animation first movie debut Chicken run was a home run success that very few can have like Disney, Pixar and Studio Ghibli. The sequel isn't on par with movies like Toy Story, Sherk and Spider Verse but is still a funny good time that's well animated, some good gags and wit the studio is known for. Mrs. Twetty is basically Dr. No a James bond villain and it sucks that the original actress isn't the character again. Aardman did a DreamWorks here.
As someone who recently watched and loved the first film
Story 4/10
Animation 10/10
Characters 3/10
Overall 6/10
This was a disappointing downgrade
Yeah, Aardman made a fatal mistake recasting Ginger's original VA cause of old age and not look over Zachary Levi's anti-vaccine post before recasting. At least we can see Bella Ramsey as a saving grace.
Oh god Zachary Levi.. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i remember hearing about how he joked about how Britney Spears should've still been in the c-ship.
Yeah, I'm in agreement. It wasn't bad and still had that classic Aardman charm and humor but, at the end of the day, it didn't need to be made. Also, I had no idea about Julia Sawalha (I thought it was just a simple recast) but hearing what actually went down and how Sawalha showed she's still got it, Aardman really dropped the ball here.
That's mostly a dodgy Netflix decision. Even if Sam Fell had confirmed about it, as if he told Nick Park (who isn't involved with the sequel, besides sticking up for Peter Sallis before retirement)
Sorry to break it to you Mat, but my brother loved this film as well as the original. I personally loved it too. It even crazy when I had KFC while watching both films. 😜
I don't think he expected to
?
Eating KFC while watching a movie that paints eating poultry in a bad light. That is just so funny to me.
@@joshuaW5621 Haha! Good One!
Good for you, eating KFC is better than the sequel itself
This sequel was announced in my best year of 2018.
I won't forget about that news ever since four years ago back in 2018, man its been years of waiting but it was totally worth it as I really enjoy Chicken Run 2.
This is Bella Ramsey's year alright.
What with the success of The Last of Us, the final season of Hilda, and this.
I don't really mind that Mollie is basically just Rocky and Ginger's own Hilda.
I would've loved to see more of Ginger and Molly's dynamic because the way this movie started is legit thematically genius!
Basically after the chickens earn their freedom, Ginger has a daughter, and that's ultimately her main goal now: keeping her safe.
But while the movie gives some idea of her worrying about restricting Molly's freedom (since she's just like her) and being overprotective, it isn't fleshed out enough for me to feel invested, which really hurts honestly. That had so much potential.
Another case of “Ghostbusters 2 Syndrome.”
Where the sequel has its moments but the plot is just a carbon copy of the first film with only half of what made it good to begin with.
However in this case, I am willing to let it slide, because at least it isn’t as frustrating to sit through. If anything, it’s actually not that bad as far these kinds of sequels go.
I would certainly take it any day over Home Alone 2 or the aforementioned Ghostbusters 2.
This means Mrs Tweedy lived
I feel that Ginger could have told Molly not only why she should stay on the Island, but also WHY she SHOULDN'T go to the Mainland, She could have told her that there are evil humans on the mainland that if they found Molly, they would kill her and turn her into a pie, nuggets, or any other chicken food products to sell on the market or in fast food restaurants. In only telling her why the Island is an awesome place to live in without saying WHY Molly should NOT go to the Mainland, Molly's curiosity got the better of her and it almost got her killed and cost Ginger and Rocky their Daughter.
Also I am not surprised that Mrs. Tweedy survived the door falling on her. She survived a lot of crap in the first movie. But I am surprised that she managed to marry her way to being richer than she was previously. While Dr Fry may be a technological genius, he probably is ditzy when it comes to marriage choices. Also Tweedy is flirting with Reginald Smith hoping to squeeze her way to even more fortunes. I am surprised that she was able to find good status again after the Pie Machine Disaster at her old farm.
This is the first year in ages for AniMats Reviews that he gave one animated film the AniMat Seal of Garbage. I think the last time that happened was in 2012!
First trolls movie series got one
10:14 I'm glad that the Brazilian dubbing didn't have this problem, because (*almost) all the voice actors from the first film and especially Ginger are in this film too.
*Almost because the voice actress for Mrs. Tweety from the first film I think has passed away.
When I first hears of this sequel, I was shocked they wanted to continue the story. I was hoping the plot to be about the chickens dealing and adjusting to their new life (Especially when there are like only 2 male chickens), coupled with a new villain.
Unfortunately, this is just your average Direct-to-Dvd sequel with the same villain.
Honestly i love this sequel even if it dose not live up to the darkness of the original
23 years?! That's 3 years older than me!
Same here!
You're ten years younger than I am and I grew up with the first movies myself when I was 10.
FeelsOldMan 😅
@AshParth560 I already feel old. I was born in 2003. I still remember seeing a few movies in theaters in the late 2000s like Up and Cloudy with a chance of meatballs!
I was born a year before the new millennium starts.
All the controversy wasn't worth it for this disappointing sequel. There's some potential with teaching a new generation about the past, but they don't take advantage of it. Y'all are right, this is the one Aardman movie that didn't need a sequel unlike The Pirates that has alot more stories to tell.
Im excited for the Wallace & Gromit sequel after the Chicken Run sequel!
And you are the guy who said that Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is the Charles Manson of animation!! It's one of the best animated movies its a good Sony movie Don't compare a cult leader to an animated movie that make no sense and there not related
The less we talk about his past rants the better.
That was when he was overly angry, he improved bruh
12:37 AWW COME ON
Does anyone understand the joke at 14:06?
It’s not a bad movie. But it’s just good. It’s funny, it looks great, and it’s well made. But the story feels like it’s hitting every formulaic cliché, doing nothing unique, nothing special. It’s a bit of a disservice to bring back this franchise to make something that is blatantly less creative. Anyone could have written this and it could have been made with any other characters.
Replacing Ginger’s voice for one that is noticeably not the same is inexcusable. They claim to have replaced her because she doesn’t sound the same. Yet the replacement is further away still.
I missed calling Chicken Run as one of my favorite DreamWorks movies. I mean, the original is distributed by DreamWorks Animation, right? Yes. & it’s one of the films that revolutionized DreamWorks along with Antz & Shrek. When Universal Studios Hollywood first opened DreamWorks Theater, A.K.A. Kung Fu Panda: The Emperor's Quest, I thought it will be cool to see the return of Ginger & Rocky interacting with the other DreamWorks characters in the pre show. But just like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Chicken Run is its own thing.
It's really a shame that Aardman has ended their partnership with DreamWorks after the way the company called 'To British' in Aardman movies like Curse Of The Were-Rabbit and Flushed Away.
I remember we had a conversation about it, and I wouldn't say I agree. To say I knew it's was not going to reach the levels of the original, despite I'm a huge fan of it, and while they are some elements I can't say yes to those facts, there a part that say it's as entertaining as much like "Mary Poppins Return" it may be like a copy of the first, but it does put a sense of effort to be different than the original. As on Netflix of this year it's second favorite after Nimona.
I don’t like this movie. The fact it’s not set in the 1950s like the original AND the fact that the original voice actors did NOT return pisses me off.
The possessed chickens are creepy O.O
Honestly, my main issue with the sequel is how the main conflict of the movie was completely Ginger's fault. I don't have a problem with characters doing irrational things to protect their loved ones if it's explained (which this movie does, as it is implied that Ginger has PTSD from the first movie), but it kinda bothers me how Ginger doesn't realise sheltering Molly was what lead to her running off
During/before the 3rd act she apologises because, as she says "I used to hate being fenced in, so why did I expect you to be any different...", but wanting to protect Molly wasn't the issue, it was not telling her WHY they were all hiding which lead to her trying to satisfy her own curiosity and subsequentially get abducted. I doubt she would have done that if Ginger just told her that the humans were dangerous.
This title can work for a good amount of animated sequels.
Welp. While the story follows the similar beats of a lot of the direct-to-video sequels, thank goodness this sequel didn't feature the usual downgrade of animation quality that many DTV films had!
I may still check this movie out, since I do enjoy Aardman's stop-motion animation with its overall style & charm. I had no idea they refused to get the original voice for Ginger... she still sounded really good though!
I was getting a feeling this would get a 6/10.
It’s not as epic as the first movie and the soundtrack isn’t as good either. I also agree that they really should have brought back gingers original voice actor. The plot of this movie is basically the lion king 2 simbas pride mixed with the little mermaid 2. Yeah this movie isn’t bad but definitely needed a more interesting story. I really loved seeing these characters again after 23 years and seeing ginger and rocky become parents is so adorable.
I'm sorry you weren't enthusiastic about this movie AniMat. But I for one, LOVED it!
14:44 other than cartoon logic, I think that metal door that crushed her just got her a trip to the hospital.

aren't you supposed to be an adult
that is IMMENSELY petty but whaaaaaaaaaaaaaatever
Yeah but at least rocky is still hear and not in the film
I hated the world-building of this
The first Chicken Run had the chicken farm resembling a WWII POW camp set in the 1950s. It worked within its limitations, and made the fanciful elements (chicken pie machine, the aircraft, etc) convincing
But here, the chicken nugget factory looks like something out of James Bond, Thunderbirds, The Avengers (UK), all popular fictional media from the 1960s.
It pays tribute to the 1960s like the first one did with the 1950s, but there’s nothing unique about it
It’s just jarring how the first Chicken Run was so grounded in reality while the sequel just mimics already established worlds
If there's one thing that this movie right is that those chicken nuggets look delicious and thats coming for a guy who doesn't like chicken nuggets
How could you NOT like chicken nuggets unless you were a vegetarian or vegan?
Yea, this sequel was a shameful disappointment. I don't even think Chicken Run even warranted a sequel.
I think both Chicken Run movies, are awesome in my opinion respectfully.
Admittedly, I found this to be a pretty good sequel to the first film. It’s not as good as the first film of course, but it’s not a bad movie by any means. But regardless of what we may think about the movie, we can at least all come together and agree…
BABS IS BEST GIRL!!!!
Overall, I think that Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is a 7/10.
(5/10) The Story
(10/10) The Animation
(6/10) The Characters
I Give Chicken Run Dawn of the Nugget (7/10) It was Unnecessary but still a good Sequel in my Opinion
That's kind of the same score I'd give this, too, not gonna lie.
Honestly I think the sequel came out way too late
While I do think this is a step down from the original, especially with the story feeling predictable, Aardman's huge mistake with Julia Sawalha's recasting and as much as I love Mrs. Tweedy (She's one of my favorite animated villains) I wish they had an explanation for her return...😑
But it's still a pretty good film, I did have a lot of fun watching it and you can't go wrong with Aardman's classic stop-motion animation, I give it a 7/10
Anyone else think Tweety somehow killed her husband from the first movie?
At the end of the first, I thought it was the other way around, due to her husband pushing the door onto her, and according to the wiki page the Tweedys divorced
@@LilDemona Darn.
Technically speaking, Farmageddon isn’t a direct sequel to 2015’s Shaun the Sheep Movie. It’s just a standalone film. Like what Sponge Out of Water and Sponge on the Run is to the original SpongeBob SquarePants movie
I watched this yesterday with my mother and I did enjoy it fine, even if it wasn't as good as the original. In fact, it made me hungry for fast food.
But I have noticed that Aardman's more recent films, while still pretty good, aren't as in line as some of their masterpieces from the 2000s to early 2010s. I think starting with Early Man, they're leaning more on the safe side than on the risky side, something they often use to do during their Dreamworks and Sony days. Even Shaun the Sheep was a risk as it has very little to no dialogue involved and it's hard to tell a narrative story for 90 minutes with very little dialogue involved. The only other animated film I know that does that is Fantasia but that doesn't really have much of a story (except the Sorcerer's Apprentice part), but they managed to pull it off great.
Nevertheless, their films are still pretty good. Not great but they can still pull it off fine. And I am still excited to check out the next Wallace and Gromit feature film. Heck, even when their stories are weak, their master class animation is enough for me to recommend worth a watch, unlike say Santa Inc, which is also made in stop motion but boy did it not try hard enough to hide how much of a mess the story and its characters are in that.
I'm gonna ask Warner Bros. Pictures to re-release Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget in theatres in the United States in 2024. also released in 3-D.
Warner Bros does not own Chicken Run: Dawn of The Nugget.
@@danielvasquez6138 Not until I ask them to re-release it in theaters in 2024 when I get to Burbank.
They should get Dreamworks animation to re-release Chicken Run Dawn of the nuggets in the US in 2024, because Chicken Run was a part of Dreamwork animation’s library.
@@firelightyear But they ended their partnership in 2007.
No.
If Chicken Run belongs to anybody, it's DREAMWORKS ANIMATION.
Funny how gingers dutch voice actor came back but many of the others did not
I feel much more inclined to refer to Molly as "Chicken Hilda" tbh...
Hey Mat. I'm sorry to break it to you but I actually really like this film as equal as the first "Chicken Run". I didn't find the film disappointing. I guess you and I have something in "uncommon". While you think that "Wish" is better than "Dawn of the Nugget" (good for you), I think I'm on the total opposite spectrum of that. I think that Disney Animation isn't in their good ole days as it used to be. Will they bounce back? Maybe(?). As for Aardman, if they do a third "Chicken Run", I bet they should do it as a crossover with Wallace and Gromit.
With that ending, it feels like they going to do something like a show
Same here, I do loved Dawn Of The Nugget as I really appreciate what Aardman animation has done by making a harmless sequel to one of their like Chicken Run.
12:37 AH, COME ON!!!
Fun fact about the actress who play the chickens doughtier. She the same actress that plays Hilda on the series “Hilda”
Also I love this film but I feel they should more justice to the husband from the first film.
Rocky Rhodes
@@islesofforeignrails7917 what?
@@islesofforeignrails7917yep, the same one.
I might still watch it for curiosuty's sake. Can't let a stop-motion film's efforts go unnoticed.
Why does this sequel need to exist?
While I did enjoy this film a bit more than you did, I do agree, we didn’t really needed a sequel to Chicken Run.
I kind of love the chicken run 2 , it was charming and fun.
I agree that this is unnecessary. I mean, I understand Aardman wanted to make this for years, but in the end, we really didn’t need a Part II for Chicken Run.
After watching the sequel, I am extremely disappointed 😞 with this sequel. Most people whine and complained that Disney's Wish is the most disappointed animated film of the year. Hell no! That title should've given to Chicken Run 2 Dawn of Diaster. Yup, this sequel is a diaster.
Why? Because why make a sequel to an original classic film that didn’t need a followup? The original Chicken Run movie ended on a perfect note where Ginger and the other chickens 🐔 are free in the wild in their own bird sanctuary away from Ms. Tweedy's farm. The original film doesn't need a sequel or franchise and it feels more like a stand alone movie. I hated how Hollywood take underrated 2000 animated films and turn them unnecessary sequels and franchises, great examples, Surfs Up 2 and Spirit Riding Free/Untamed. I hated those two God Awful sequels.
My biggest problem with Chicken Run 2 Dawn of the Mugget where this sequel tries way too hard to be like the original where it doesn't want to take any risk being different where it burrow and rehash too many elements from its predecessor that it doesn't want to be its own thing. Rather trying way too hard to be like the original instead of taking risks and being different. I don't mind a sequel being different as they executed the storytelling and characters very well. That does make you question whether this sequel doesn't want to be its own thing. People are going to complain and compare this sequel to the original because it is hard for people to accept the sequel for being too similar to the original. So of course they are going to make comparisons to the sequel and the first movie either good or bad.
The story feels absolutely 💯 predictable and cliche where Molly, Ginger and Rocky's daughter wants to explored the outside world 🌎 and her parents are so overprotective of her daughter and she becomes rebelish and runs away from home. My goodness, this is the same exact plot and cliches you expect from Disney direct to DVD sequel like Little Mermaid 2, Lady and the Tramp 2 and Lion King 2 not Aardman. This is basically Aardman's equivalent to the Little Mermaid 2 Return to the Sea.
Plus, if Aardman was interested making a sequels to one of their movies, why not make a sequel to the Pirates Band of Misfits? I would have definitely loved to see a sequel to the Pirates Band of Misfits. That was a missed opportunity.
After watching the teaser trailer, I am not impressed with it. The chickens 🐔 are breaking it. What? Why on Earth 🌎 would the chickens want to break in? Why? They worked so hard to be free and away from the cruelty from Ms. Tweety's farm 🚜 and yet they got their freedom and wanted to go back?! That makes no freaking sense?! This sequel is going to ret con the first movie!
Bringing back Mrs. Tweedy feels absolutely 💯 stupid because for few things one that just feels nostalgic pandering to fans where "Oh remember Mrs. Tweedy. Here she is from the original film." They never explained how Mrs. Tweedy came back to life after being smashed by that wall 🧱 door 🚪 she could have easily die. Not to mentioned the return of Mrs. Tweety coming back as the villain. How the hell sid she survived from being smashed by a door 🚪?! She could've died. I am not impressed with it. They only bring her back for nostalgic purposes and poking fun at the original to fans like "Hey fans! You remembered Mrs. Tweety from the original film?" Bringing back her as the villain feels unnecessary and it's going to make the sequel repeating itself and rehashing from the first movie. Why couldn't they picked an original antagonist? The chickens 🐔 are in the wild and they are food for wild predators. Why not have a fox 🦊, weasel 🦦 or an owl 🦉 to be the main antagonist instead? That would have been better.
Remember how the first movie was dark for showing the true dark world of animal cruelty where chickens being killed for food especially the scene where Edwina gets killed and sacrificed by Mrs. Tweedy. Here this sequel takes away from the dark tone because of the movie executives are too afraid 😨 to show darkness in the film just because they won't scared the kids so they decided to removed dark tone and played it far too safe and sugar coated it. They played the animal cruelty as a joke and there are no stakes and danger where the chickens are in major peril
I find that lazy how they are just bringing back Mrs. Tweedy to be the villain instead of creating a new villain like a wild animals as a fox. 🦊
Besides the chickens are in the wild and chickens are food and prey for predators why not have a wild predator as an antagonist instead? I prefer that idea 💡 than bringing back Mrs. Tweedy.
Her motive is kinda lazy where instead of turning chickens into pies just like the first movie now she wants them nuggets wow how lazy and uncreative. Sounds familiar?
I was scared 😱 of Mrs. Tweedy in the first movie but here she is not scary. She becomes a joke in the entire movie sequel. They turned her a villain from the Minions movie like Scarlet Overkill and Belle Bottom. She is so cartoony and lazily rehash I bet Scarlet and Belle would definitely give her a good run 🏃🏻♀️ for her money.
Rocky and Ginger has now becoming water down cliche overprotective parents to Molly and recently there is another animated film with the overprotective parent trope this month, Illumination's Migration. Honestly, I getting fed up and tired with overprotective parent tropes this year with Ruby Gillman, Migration and this film.
Molly isn't an interesting character she is the exact same old character archetype in most animated films of the rebelish child like Ariel from the Little Mermaid, Kiara from the Lion King 2, Eep from the Croods, and Peaches from Ice Age 4 etc. I find her such a brat. I could care less if she gets killed and eaten by Mrs. Tweedy. Worst of all, Molly never received any sort of punishment for all her actions in this film where she almost put her parents in danger
While the animation is still good the voice acting is very mixed bag.
I did not like the casting decision of replacing Julia Sawalha for Thandiwe Newton just because she is too old to reprised her role. But she still sound good in earlier recordings. Julia Sawalha is around her 50s. And yet both actresses Miranda Richardson and Thandiwe Newton are the same age of 50. I find that hypocritical. I find that poor taste and quite tasteless.
The only good thing I can say about it is the stop motion animated and the stop motion animation looks absolutely 💯 beautiful and improvement over the original film. And some of the voice acting is really decent.
I am still not happy with Aardman making this unnecessary sequel and I am not happy with Molly for not receiving ant sort of punishment for her 😕 actions. I decided to give this 4 out of 10 stars 🌟 and give it the Alexis Seal 🦭 of Garbage 🚮 💩.
Now, will you excuse me? I am going to have chicken nuggets 😋 for lunch. I bet they are tasty.
I am still salty they didn't do the "evil but in love" trope with melisha tweedy and dr fry
If I directed this film, not only would I allow Julia Sawalha to reprise her role as Ginger, but I have the perfect choice for who to replace as the voice of Rocky, and that would be Jess Harnell. He actually served as a voice double for Mel Gibson, in Disney’s Pocahontas. Where Mel Gibson did provide, John Smith’s voice, Jess Harnell provided the character’s singing. with that being the case, I think he might actually be a better actor to voice Rocky compared to either Mel Gibson or Zachary Levi.
chicken run 2 was like squid game in one part
