Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, the sequel to Aardman Animation’s 2000 stop-motion hit, is arriving 23 years after the original.
Mused director Sam Fell during a panel at Deadline’s Contenders London today, “At the end of the first one, you’re kind of a bit sick of chickens.
It takes about three or four years to make these things so I think everyone wanted to do new things.” At the time, he also remarked, “Animated sequels weren’t a big thing back then, Toy Story 2 was probably the first great animated sequel.” A follow-up had been “in the background” and there were “brainstorming sessions,” but the original Chicken Run “is so brilliant, you can’t do something less than that,” Fell said.
Fast-forward to 2016 and Fell ran into the previous film’s co-director Peter Lord who told him, “We’ve got it, we figured it out.” The trick was a single line, “This time, they’re breaking in.” That “opened up a whole sort of opportunity with a whole new kind of film like a heist movie.” The story follows Ginger, who, having pulled off a death-defying escape from Tweedy’s farm, has finally found her dream – a peaceful island sanctuary for the whole flock, far from the dangers of the human world.
