"Chicken Run 2: Bond Villain-style Roast Revolt Sparks Excitement"

Peter Lord, co-founder of Aardman Animations, has clarified that the new film Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is not a statement against eating meat or factory farming, but rather an entertainment. However, the film does engage the audience with the chickens as heroes and makes them care about their plight against those who want to eat them. Activists have praised the film for its approach, with some seeing it as a morality tale highlighting the realities of poultry farms. The sequel features a James Bond villain-style chicken nugget factory run by the evil Mrs Tweedy, and familiar heroes must rescue a trapped chicken. The film was released in selected cinemas and is available on Netflix.
