I see these two movies and go “haha funny stop-motion chickens” and the rest of the fandom be like

Orwell's depiction of a dystopian world was one where people are crushed by oppressors and have no hope of escape, meanwhile Huxley's depiction of a dystopian world was one where people passively and happily allow their oppression.

This is why Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget took such a sharp turn in aesthetics compared to the original film, as the oppressive and dark visual themes of the first film as well as the narrative themes of forced compliance compare better with something like Orwell's 1984 but the colourful retro-futurist themes of the sequel, combined with the themes of delusional compliance and mind-control compare better with Huxley's Brave New World. In this essay I will--

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget 👤 dir. Sam Fell

This post contains spoilers.

"The characters have such nuanced life breathed into them that's encouraged further through each fingerprint left in their figures by animators."

Like a lot of folks, I grew up having seen the first Chicken Run film many times. Aardman animation has always been such the forefront of filmmaking to develop revolutionary styles of animations that have been recognizable for generations with more to come. This film, like other pieces of Aardman's portfolio, is a definition of wit. The characters have such nuanced life breathed into them that's encouraged further through each fingerprint left in their figures by animators.

The story itself is heartfelt and dramatic. These characters have such a long history with each other, but with the introduction of Molly as Ginger and Rocky's new kiddo, there are more avenues of their relationships and familial structure to explore. There is lots of showing, not telling, with the thought process through the character's thinking. They have minds of their own and sometimes the viewer is left to wonder about their decision-making. It's not something the director can tell the puppets, or the animator, but a combination of all that's being developed for this character that comes out once shooting is over and editing experiences together commences. These characters, despite being chickens are definingly human. Seeing old enemies too was shocking, but also somewhat satisfying, to see them yet again be bested by a group of chickens.

Watching stop-motion always inspires something in me. After the movie is over, I highly recommend watching the process video afterward. Even with behind-the-scenes, there's so much magic that happens on these sets.

Does anyone else feel modern stop motion animation can be a little TOO perfect? I mean its amazing they have the ability to make everything look so clean and fluid now... but it's getting to the point it could easily be mistaken for CGI. I think they should make the stop motion just a little bit more janky. Perhaps some finger prints in the clay?
