Chicken Run

This charming claymation film from 2000 follows a group of chickens (and one dashing Rooster) as they attempt to avoid being turned into pot pies. If you’re the kind of person who enjoys looking for a deeper meaning in your child friendly films this will fit the bill because (and I hate to break this to you) it’s definitely a metaphor for the Holocaust BUT it’s also really very hilarious. How rare that a movie be both those things! It’s also super impressive to watch as an adult knowing how much intricate work goes into creating stop motion films. I say winner, winner, chicken dinner.
