Long-awaited sequel tops list of UK’s most-watched streaming titles last year

As a movie critic who has spent decades traversing the vast cinematic landscapes of celluloid dreams, I must say that Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is nothing short of a feathery triumph! Having witnessed the rise and fall of countless animated epics, it’s truly refreshing to see an old favorite return with such panache.


Enthusiasts couldn’t contain their joy upon hearing that the cherished characters from Chicken Run would grace our screens again in a grand sequel, and it’s evident they weren’t left unsatisfied.

According to Ofcom’s Media Nations report, the animated movie “Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget” attracted a viewership of approximately 7.5 million in the initial 28 days following its premiere.

Approximately twenty years following its initial debut, Rocky and Ginger reunited with the intention of rescuing their child who was being kept on a chicken farm owned by none other than Mrs. Tweedy.

The voice actors recently unveiled a fresh group of characters in the Aardman world, featuring Thandiwe Newton lending her voice to Ginger, Zachary Levi playing Rocky, and Bella Ramsey voicing their daughter Molly.

Based on the data from Ofcom’s yearly report, Chicken Run attracted approximately one million more spectators compared to Pixar’s Elemental, which ranked as the runner-up.

Among the top 10 titles, you’ll find selections such as “The Night Agent,” “Bodies,” and “Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical,” all of which are productions by Netflix.

As a dedicated fan of stop-motion animation and the whimsical world of Aardman, I can hardly contain my excitement! With a longstanding passion for Wallace and Gromit, I eagerly await their return this Christmas in an upcoming film. Growing up, these characters were a staple in my household, bringing laughter and joy to countless family movie nights. Their unique blend of humor, heart, and technical mastery has left a lasting impression on me, making their return a highly anticipated event in my life. So, mark your calendars and get ready for another delightful adventure with Wallace and Gromit this holiday season!

Introduced in June, the upcoming movie titled “Vengeance Most Fowl” brings back the notorious character, Feathers McGraw, who infamously troubled a duo in “The Wrong Trousers” from 1993. For keen-eyed viewers, Feathers McGraw had a sneaky comeback in “Dawn of the Nugget”!

Towards the end, Ginger, Rocky, and their group assist in freeing all the chickens from Fun-Land Farms. Not long after, they discover another poultry farm where each cage houses approximately 30 chickens.

As a dedicated film enthusiast, I find myself among the crew, getting ready yet again for another round of releasing those magnificent creatures – the birds. As we embark on this mission, it’s impossible not to notice one particular bird that clearly stands out from the flock – none other than Feathers McGraw!

In the midst of chaos unfolding, one must wonder the origin – it’s now on Gromit to suppress his doubts and confront ominous entities, else Wallace might lose his ability to innovate forever!
