1: Story
While the chickens on evil Mrs. Tweedy's farm dream of a better life, a clever hen named Ginger is hatching plans to fly the coop-for good! The only problem is,  chickens can't fly...or can they? Every escape attempts goes fowl until Rocky, a smooth talking All-American rooster, crash-lands into the coop. It's hardly poultry in motion when rocky attempts to teach Ginger and her fine feathered friends to fly...but, with teamwork, determination and a bit o' luck, the fearless flock plots one last daring attempt in a spectacular bid for freedom!
2: So, what about it?
Technically, the movie is amazing! Can you imagine a movie made in Play-Doh? Well this is it! There are some really cool scenes and the chickens look great (and, wait a minute...they have teeth???). You might find it a good movie and you might not, but I personally liked it!
