When a cocky American rooster (Mel Gibson) arrives on a Yorkshire chicken farm claiming he can fly, the chicks go wild.

The creators of Wallace and Gromit (Nick Park and Peter Lord) present a funny and beautifully animated tale of courage and teamwork in the barnyard.

‘Imbued with infectious pluck. It’s also a lucid, competent, titanically entertaining movie loaded with workable gags.’ – San Francisco Examiner
