The creators of Wallace & Gromit bring you an exciting and original story about a group of chickens determined to fly the coop–even if they can’t fly! It’s hardly poultry in motion when Rocky attempts to teach Ginger and her feathered friends to fly…but, with teamwork, determination and a little bit o’ cluck, the fearless flock plots one last attempt in a spectacular bid for freedom.
Ginger, a determined hen, is determined to escape her farm and her fate of becoming a chicken pot pie. She rallies her fellow chickens, including the brave Rocky, to plan an elaborate escape before Mrs. Tweedy, the evil farmer's wife, can carry out her nefarious plan. Their efforts involve ingenious contraptions and daring teamwork to achieve freedom.

A guilty pleasure for me personally, as I love both 'The Great Escape' and most of the works I have seen, over the years, from this rightfully-esteemed British animation company. Highly recommended both for children and for adults who enjoy...
