No Julia Sawalha (or Timothy Spall), no party unfortunately.
The voice change is just so noticeable that it just kills any interest I had in it.
Also I’m not keen on such a hi-tech looking plot. The first film had this rustic, dirty, lived-in vibe mixed with a little bit of Wallace-esq steampunky machinery thrown in. Now it just looks like how most animation does bad guys with that semi-Bond villain style. It doesn’t really fit the Chicken Run aesthetic in my eyes.
Just feel disappointment with this whole project really, which is real shame considering my long love for Aardman.
No Julia Sawalha as Ginger, no Timothy Spall and Phil Daniels as the rats, no Mel Gibson as rocky. There’s only a few returning voices, that’ll be a no from me.
The comments section of anything to do with this film are just hilarious.
Grown ass adults complaining about the sequel a 23 year old children’s film not having EXACTLY the same voice actors over 2 DECADES later. Like this film was made for them.
The children this film is actually aimed at weren’t even alive when the original was released, don’t know or care who was cast in the original, and will watch it because their parents put it on to distract them.
Joking aside, love that we’re getting more Chicken run and so many great cast members returning, don’t love the VA performances from some of the new cast members as they sound so off from their original ones. Doesn’t really make sense that they couldn’t just bring back most of them (I can kinda understand Mel Gibson, but the others?)
Nice to see it’s stop motion(or at the very least appears like it), the posters they released months ago were CGI or airbrushed to oblivion so there was some concern over that. Nothing wrong with CGI of course but there’s a certain charm and personality the stop motion adds to these already established worlds.

I can’t believe they’re doing this and I can’t believe I’m excited for it.
Aardman, my beloved.
I didn’t even chuckle.

Terrible that they cut Julia Sawalha and Timothy Spall. FANTASTIC that they brought back Miranda Richardson.
Did they go CGI?
That “It’s go time” joke really was a steaming pile of shit.
I saw the original in the theater. It was The Great Escape, but with hilarious animated British chickens.

My immediate reaction:
>!”GOD DAMN IT, THAT B**** MS. TWEEDY’S ALIVE?!?” !<
Somehow, Mrs Tweedy returned.

It’s a sequel I didn’t know I wanted until I read about it. I am very excited to watch this come Christmas time

I’m surprised by the setting on this film. I always figured the first one was set in the 1940s or 50s.
As a huge fan of the original, this looks pretty generic and disappointing. And wow, those new voices sound off.
I will admit to laughing at that final Babs line.
Is that Ramesh?
”that place, is inpenetrable” ”yea and you can’t get in either” i’m dead
So they didn’t ask Julia back for being “too old” but they use that voice…? Sounds like someone in their late forties anyway wtf.
