After winning a handful of Oscars, the British stop-motion studio Aardman decided to enter a new frontier: the world of feature-length motion pictures. And thankfully, those plucky upstarts over at DreamWorks—including a little guy named Jeffrey Katzenberg—were more than willing to help these creative folks meet their goal. The result was 2000's Chicken Run, a charming stop-motion creation that tapped into then-popular World War II nostalgia to weave a tale of prisoner-of-war chickens escaping certain doom. So get ready to listen and learn all about this turn-of-the-century treasure on the podcast that's more fun than going on holiday!

As others will say, I always thought the nerdy chicken was a dude. course I watched it as akid, soI knew no better.

Loved this movie as a kid. Strangely as a kid, it wasn’t just the Wallace and Gromit connection, but Mel Gibson from Lethal Weapon got my attention. Yeah he’s crazy now, but he really was so huge back then.

this was a delight from front to back. I will go to bat that this is (in my eyes) a perfect movie. Just a very tight script, not a wasted scene, humor, heart, perfect balance between family friendly and respect for mature audiences, memorable score, I could go on. it is probably one of my favorite animated movies of all time, if not in my top 30 films or so. the score kicking in during the wings expanding on 'the crate' as the plan finally comes together gives me goose(chicken?) bumps no matter how many times I re-watch. I'm also on the side of the 'fake meat' preference. Even as a kid I could never get into the love for McNuggets because I physically couldn't make myself eat anything where you run the risk of biting into fatty bits. Don't have that problem with vegan nuggets! They're all receptacles for dipping sauces, anyway. I have shied away from beef, pork and chicken the last few years with ease but I'm afraid I'm still too seafood-pilled to give it up. I just can't quit those ocean bugs.

Since you asked: for me it was obvious from the moment he was introduced that Rocky can't actually fly. And with the circus looking for him I immediately thought "he used a cannon" (any Monkey Island fan would know)

I am so happy you mentioned the cost of bananas! Not only is it astounding that they are so cheap when they are shipped to northern hemisphere from thousands of miles away, most of what is imported here is thrown away. They go ripe so quickly and people are all so particular about touching all of them for their personal favorite ripeness. The union Square (nyc) trader Joe's is the busiest in the chain and goes through 90 cases of bananas a day on average, and is only actually selling half to 2/3 of that, rest are thrown out or "donated" (questionable). There are many things we import from colonialism-ravaged areas that we charge huge prices for (like chocolate and diamonds, barf), and it really hurts my brain that we're abusing the global south for bananas on the condition that we have them CHEAP.

Mother bird brood size- the legend is that a quail can only count to three, so no matter how many more chickies than three hatch, they might not survive bc the mother can only account for three, might lose track of bonus babies. This is a bit of apocrypha/ country wisdom i learned from my country boyfriend. He uses it as logic that most humans oughtnt have more than three kids either. Neither of us are birds scientists nor eugenecists

"Owt" = "aught" = "zero" like "back in the aughts" for the 200x's

A movie where a scoundrel is brought to the good side by charming good people: Bushwhacked.

I’m enjoying the discussion on the U.K. itself as it’s always funny how often I hear Americans refer to the U.K. as simply England. While most of the time it’s not untrue (since they probably are from England), there can be baggage with that. The full title of the U.K. is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Even though I’m from London/England, I personally prefer to refer to myself as British because in my experience there is often a hint of nationalism when people are loud about referring to themselves as English as opposed to British, especially in recent years. Though having not lived there for the past 6 years now I dunno if it makes much of a difference these days!

Wife guys lost a fake one in John Mulaney. I don't think he'll carry that same energy with Olivia Munn...

I saw this movie in the theater as a kid and went to Universal Studios Hollywood where there was some kind of exhibit where you could walk around the sets used and see the puppets, really wish more movies did that. One of the reasons I probably liked so much as a kid was this is a female led movie made before that was considered controversial or invoked a culture war conversation

Great podcast. However as the husband of a historical romance author I'd be remiss if I did not mention that dance cards go far back as the 18th century and were popular at balls during the Victorian era.

You might have the lower paid tier of P+ and showtime...which has ads. There's a completely ad free tier. It's like hulu. You can pay for less ads or no ads. Just gotta pay more if you don't want ads.

I never knew about the Marxist reading of this movie! Definitely going to rewatch it with this in mind.

Erin MacAllister

If Mac and Babs aren’t in the sequel I will be very upset

This podcast unlocked so many memories for me. I saw this movie in theaters when I had just turned five years old, and I remember being absolutely mesmerized by the gorgeous animation and beautiful story. I would always say “ginger” (or Gin-jah) in an English voice when I was goofing around at school. I do remember understanding the fact that rocky couldn’t fly on my first watch, but honestly one of my parents might have just whispered it in my ear. Thanks for the podcast boys, amazing work as always.

Chicken Run is the better version of Animal Farm.

Always enjoy when WaC covers something British! Just a few points of potential interest: - Imelda Staunton (Bunty) is currently playing the Queen in the final seasons of "The Crown" - Whilst most of the slang is genuine Yorkshire dialect, I'm pretty sure 'nelly-podging' was straight up invented by Aardman - At least three members of the cast were in 1970's cult classic 'Quadrophenia'. Fans of 90's Britpop might recognise Phil Daniels (Fetcher) as the narrator on Blur's 'Parklife'. - 'Riverdance' is Irish rather than Scottish. Also, Bristolians (distinguished by their pirate-y accents) are located in the South West of England rather than the North. - 'Early Man' is even heavier on the Britishisms than this, be warned!

I always read Gingers comb dangling down after Mrs Tweedy swung her axe to look like inside parts to make you think her head really had been removed. Lol Also I hate to be that guy but Mr Tweedy and Wallace do not have the same accent. Wallace is from Lancashire, & Mr Tweedy is from Yorkshire. 2 counties with a long standing rivalry. (Hence why Gromit throws the bomb over the Yorkshire border in Loaf and Death) Also I Love to hear that Henry likes Phoenix nights. I wonder if he’d like Max and Paddy’s road to nowhere?

British fan here. What amazes me is, we have far more knowledge, exposure to your works, than your exposure to us; such as Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale, and various other soap opera (rubbish). Also the UK isn't as full of trans-phobes as you think. PS: you need to work on those British accents 😆

How do you guys have no clue who Timothy Spall is? Watch some Mike Leigh films. 😉
