Chicken Run
Poultry prison break
Chicken Run is a 2000 British stop-motion animated film about chickens plotting to escape a farm before being slaughtered.
The title plays on the literal meaning—an enclosed outdoor area where chickens roam—while suggesting a prison break.
The film became a cultural touchstone, referenced when discussing daring escapes or claymation animation.
