Voices of Mel Gibson. Miranda Richardson.

Egg-laying hens must escape their coop before being made into chicken pies.

Extremely creative claymation, but after hearing about how it was the best thing produced in 2000, I was left a bit disappointed. The fact that the filmmakers use stop-motion photography is very impressive, but it doesn't make the story any better. It was a pleasant diversion.
