Verdict on Chicken Run Dawn of the Nugget
Chicken Run Dawn of the Nugget is the sequel to the popular animation movie. It follows the returning chickens as they have their own family and face a new threat. A threat that comes from wanting to see more of the world. However, they come up against an old enemy.
This is an entertaining sequel that keeps the same charm as the original. Despite recasting the key two characters’ voice stars, one for obvious reasons, the other for questionable creative decisions. This brings the unlikely great escape concept to life again and you could easily see this becoming a family favourite.
Where to Watch
Final Thoughts – Chicken Run Dawn of the Nugget is delightfully charming animation.
