![[Ginger]](ginger.jpg "[Ginger]")
Nick Park and Aardman Animation have brilliantly managed the transition from their small screen successes of Creature Comforts and Wallace and Gromit to the big screen with their animated plasticene chickens.
Ginger, visionary, yearns for her freedom, and that of all the other
chickens, from their life of egg-laying captivity. She constantly
plans ingenious escapes, which, due to her insistence that they
all
get free, are constantly thwarted by the farmer and his dogs.

Then,
one evening, Rocky Rhodes, flying rooster, crashes into the farm. Here
is their chance -- Rocky can teach them to fly! But time is growing
dangerously short, and Rocky has a terrible secret...
This is wonderful -- chock full of glorious jokes, characters, bizarre machines, sly references to The Great Escape and Star Trek , and loads more gorgeous details.
