The animated stop-motion film Chicken Run is coming back to theaters next month for its 25th anniversary.
Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures are proud to announce the 25th Anniversary nationwide theatrical re-release of the high-flying stop-motion animated adventure comedy, Chicken Run.
Created by the brilliant minds at the groundbreaking British animation studio Aardman, the landmark film will cluck back onto screens across the country on November 9 and November 12, 2025 for a special limited engagement.
Directed by three-time Oscar® nominee Peter Lord (The Pirates! Band Misfits, Wat’s Pig) and four-time Academy Award® winner Nick Park—who garnered widespread acclaim for his “Claymation” short films Creature Comforts, followed by the Wallace & Gromit shorts The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave— Chicken Run represented Aardman Animation’s first full-length feature. The story opens with plucky heroine Ginger (Absolutely Fabulous’ Julia Sawalha) doing her best to escape the dire confines of the Tweedy Chicken Farm, though her attempts to flee all come to naught. Her yearning for freedom takes on new urgency, however, after the cruel Mrs. Tweedy (Oscar® nominee Miranda Richardson) decides to phase out her egg operation in favor of making meat pies. The move spells certain doom for Ginger and the other members of her flock.
It’s just then that an unlikely hero appears in the form of Rocky the Flying Rooster (Oscar® winner Mel Gibson). The American daredevil seems perfectly poised to teach Ginger and friends how to take to the skies, but there’s just one problem: Rocky’s aerial skills aren’t quite as impressive as they’re made out to be. With no other choice, the resourceful birds are forced to use their wits to avoid winding up on a dinner plate—if they’re lucky, they might even manage to find happiness in greener pastures far away.
