As we enter the final stages of 2023, feeling all festive,Netflixhas a new no.1 movie that’s a clear contender for being the streaming service’s high-flying winner over the holiday season. Except, after chalking up a decent initialRotten Tomatoes rating, this sequel has dropped to 79%at the time of writing – and could continue to tank, despite racking up the most views.
I think it’s largely going to be about context: if you’ve never seen the original movie then Chicken Run: Dawn on the Nuggetwill be an isolated experience where you have no point of comparison. In that light it’s entertaining enough – and kids will be entertained. But if you have seen the original – which, fortunately, is also available to watch on Netflix (it’s no.8 in the Children category at the time of writing) – then personally I have no doubt that the delivery, the feeling, the comedy even, is just miles away from what the original hit.

One thing I am really pleased about is thatChicken Run: Dawn of the Nuggetdoes continue with Aardman’s admittedly arduous work ethic of hand animating its characters. This is a labour of love, and while it sometimes looks too polished in the sequel, I’ve got a lot of respect for the art. It’s worth watching both flicks to see how far along the practices have come in that area of discipline.
Whether you’re a fan of the Chicken Run sequel or not – and fans really are divided, with some calling it ‘soulless’, but others ‘loving it’ (cited from contrasting Rotten Tomatoes audience reviews) – there are plenty of other picks onthe best streaming servicesright now.
