Chicken Run

Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

In 2000, the highest grossing stop-motion animated film in history was released titled Chicken Run, bringing in 227 million dollars. When my daughter was in elementary school, she loved this movie and we watched it over and over again!

The movie was directed and written by Peter Lord and Nick Park. A stop-motion film requires the moviemakers to physically manipulate the characters in small increments between the photograph frames so they appear in motion.
