The Big Picture

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget disappoints with a dull and unoriginal plot lacking the charm and humor of the original.
The characters in the sequel, such as Ginger and Rocky, are not as charming or well-developed as they were in the 2000 classic.
Despite its many flaws, the animation style of Aardman Studios remains spectacular and visually appealing.
