Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget

Mention the phrase streaming service to someone in the year 2000 and chances are they’d think you were talking about rivers. But now in 2023, a movie released in 2000 is finally getting a sequel, and its coming straight to one of thebest streaming services.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the NuggethitsNetflixtomorrow, December 15th. That’s right, we’re finally getting a chance to catch up with Ginger, Rocky and the girls after they escaped Tweedy’s farm.

If you’ve not seen the original then you’ve had plenty of time so what’s your excuse? It’s aGreat Escapeparody that has managed to even outscore the legendary Steve McQueen picture on Rotten Tomatoes with 97% (as opposed to 94%). So it’s safe to say there are big expectations to live up to in this latest instalment.

Luckily Aardman has a fantastic track record, In fact, I would argue the Claymation studio has never made a bad movie and it seems like they haven’t started doing it now. While critics aren’t quite as impressed this time, with only a 77% score, audiences are still loving the fowl fun with a 95% rating.

The trailer looks like more great fun withChicken Runbut you might notice one or two characters sounding different. With 23 years between movies, some recasting was inevitable, but at least we now have the talents of Thandiwe Newton, Zachary Levi and Bella Ramsey to enjoy.

If you can’t wait until next month, don’t worry there’s plenty of Aardman magic on Netflix. including the originalChicken Run, Early ManandShaun the Sheep.
