Description

Double bill of animated family features. 'Chicken Run' (2000) is a pastiche of 'The Great Escape' made by Nick Park, progenitor of the much-loved 'Wallace and Gromit'. Life on Tweedy's Chicken Farm is far from pleasant for the inmates; they are badly treated by Mr Tweedy and his domineering wife, and kept alive only as long as they keep producing eggs. Ginger the hen (voiced by Julia Sawalha)'s various attempts at escape have failed due to the lethargy and downright incompetence of her fellow prisoners, but when Rocky (Mel Gibson) - the famous Flying Rooster - crash lands in the farm, she sees the chance she has been waiting for: Rocky can teach everyone how to fly, and they can stage a mass break-out! However, the braggardly Rocky is not all that he seems; can he really help Ginger and the others find freedom before Mrs Tweedy (Miranda Richardson) hatches her fowl plan to turn them all into chicken pies? In 'James and the Giant Peach' (1996) James Henry Trotter (Paul Terry) has to live with (and skivvy for) his nasty aunts Spiker (Joanna Lumley) and Sponge (Miriam Margolyes) after his parents are killed by a giant rhino. However, after he is given magic crocodile tongues by a stranger, amazing things begin to happen. James escapes from his aunts by climbing inside a giant peach, and setting off with all the friendly, talking insects who live inside it. The film is a mixture of live action for the out-of-peach sequences and animation for the main part of the story.
