CHICKEN RUN

Library Synopsis

Animation. At Tweedy's Egg Farm, the hens are kept in stalag-like houses surrounded by barbed wire, not unlike a feathered version of Colditz. Ginger, one of the more courageous captives, is constantly attempting to escape. Suddenly the inmates are surprised by the arrival of Rocky the Flying Rooster, whose previous employment has been as cannon fodder at the circus. Ginger, under the impression that Rocky can actually fly, hopes for a mass escape if Rocky can teach the other inmates how to fly too. However, they are running out of time since Mrs Tweedy, the overbearing owner of the farm, is busy trying to double her profits by going into the chicken pie business...
