Penguin O What in the world happened to you, Aardman? Once you were churning out the best stop motion movies possible, like Wallace and Gromit the curse of the were rabbit, and Chicken Run. But now, with your Chicken Run sequel, you have ruined your streak of good films. Nothing is good about this follow-up to the 2000 film. The animation is much brighter (in a bad way), all the voice actors were changed, it had no heart, the plot was bad, and lots of the film was just annoying. While Dr. Fry was a nice addition, I can't say the same about Frizzle or even Molly herself, who were not very interesting characters. While this may appeal to the younger audience, having seen the original, it just can't compare for me. Plus, aren't you giving chickens the wrong idea, that they should attack farms across the country? The first one was justified; this is pure madness. Sorry, but Sam Fell was better at directing Flushed Away.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Its abe S Chicken run 2 was pretty good! It wasn't amazing nor was it a masterpiece! But its still good! But why did the have to have Ms. Tweedy in the trailer? Aardman should've kept that as a surprise they just went stupid! 😡 and also it did add some uninteresting characters and like did we really need a chicken run sequel? But I still think it's pretty good! 7.5/10 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Kenny A The original "Chicken Run (2000)" is one of my all-time favorite animated films, but that first movie was so well crafted and self-contained with a definitive ending, l never really wanted, let alone expected, Aardman to do a sequel. "Dawn of the Nugget" had some interesting ideas from a visual standpoint, but suffers from creative bankruptcy with its story that falls WAY too hard on tired family movie clichés. When people say this movie feels like one of the direct-to-DVD Disney sequels from the 2000's, I can definitely see why (I got A LOT of "Little Mermaid 2" and "The Lion King 2" vibes watching this). With that said, I didn't hate this movie. It obviously could've been a lot better, but it wasn't a total bore to watch, either. It did manage to keep my attention for the duration of its runtime, which is more than I can say about most of the direct-to-DVD Disney sequels. It's definitely watchable. Personally, I view "Dawn of the Nugget" in the same vein as "Ghostbusters 2" and "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey." It's not terrible, but it's definitely a step down from the original. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Joel C I mean it's entertaining enough. The climax is great and the action is suprisingly fantastic for a movie about chickens. It's kind of a buzzkill that Mr. Tweedy didn't murder Mrs. Tweedy in the first film, but, ok. It's a little above average. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review K G I used Netflix all for an Aardman project (when I always went to a movie theater & never streamed). Once again, this a movie that can be as 👍 as its predecessor. The 🐔s are back & breaking into another society of 🐔s having a similar experience of what our origional friends did - it is also more disturbing because these chickens get brainwashed in some way to be slaughtered into another type of chicken food: 🍳 nuggets. It is crazy that Mrs Tweedy is back with vengeance. Well, if she could still survive falling into 🍞crumbs, maybe there can be a finale twisted trequel where she lives her target for the last time 💀☠️. The only problem is, the unfair re-casting of Ginger - she sounds so different. The original voice still wanted to & had been able to reprise her role.
