Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget review

The sequel to the 2000 hit verges on formulaic, feeling a little like it's been produced by AI. But it's largely redeemed by decent jokes and a lively, likable cast.

Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget review

While average-Aardman remains better than most, Dawn Of The Nugget still feels like Chicken re-Run, which will no doubt keep the kids quiet at Christmas time, right up until the point you have to explain to them about turkey dinner.

Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget review

Ultimately Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget is similar to the fast food in its title. A quick, bite size piece of enjoyment but one where the sensation soon fades, leaving you hungry for more.
