Thus, the chickens’ entire bodies are the Tweedys’ means of producing goods, as well as being the goods themselves. In the end, the chickens’ ultimate way of escape relies entirely on their bodies: hand-powering a plane they built all by themselves. They take their bodies, once only objects of profit, and use them to free and benefit their entire community from the Tweedys’ capitalist control.

But there is even more to the film than indoctrinating in young minds ideas about Marxism and the evils of capitalism. Its entree of themes includes, but is not limited to: death, injustice, exploitation, suppression, resistance, rebellion, the pursuit of freedom, free thought, and, of course, greed. It’s all incredibly dense for a stop-motion animated movie about chickens. (One could even view Rocky as a metaphor for the false promises of The American Dream – but I won’t try getting into that.) The film is packed full of feminist power too, not simply the fact that an entire revolution is organized by women but the stereotypical “woman’s work” of these female chickens (such as their sewing and knitting) is crucial in constructing their mechanism for escape and vital towards the revolution itself.

The men of Chicken Run, on the other hand, are not as favorable. Whether they’re scheming (slippery salesmen rats Nick and Fetcher), deceitful (Fowler and Rocky), or just kinda dumb (Mr. Tweedy), for most of the film, men hinder the women’s progress. Ginger’s persistence, steadfastness, and concern for her coop are perceived by Rocky as “difficult.” But it’s the women of the film – both the chickens and Mrs. Tweedy – who are the ones who know how to get anything done.

I can still feel the sorrow that sank like a lead weight in my stomach when I first experienced one of the film’s very first scenes. Due to her consistent lack of egg production, a poor chicken named Edwina is sent to her death as her feathered friends bear witness in abject horror and dismay. For a G-rated film, it’s an incredibly distressing scene. It deeply upset me as a child, and it upset me as I watched it for probably the 20th time nearly 20 years later. It inst

 But there is even more to the film than indoctrinate in young thinker ideas about Marxism and the evils of capitalism.
