Chicken Run (2000)

Peter Lord Director previously directed The Amazing Adventures of Morph

Some British hens team up with one all-American rooster and two rats to escape from the oppressive farm they live on-lest they be turned to chicken pot pies.

Trivia:

After Rocky leaves, there is another joke at Mel Gibson's expense. Bunty says, I don't even think he was American, a reference to the common misconception that Gibson is actually Australian. (Although he was born in the USA and didn't move to Australia until he was 12, the belief persists, especially in the UK, that he's Australian.)

Reference: The Great Escape

The whole film is basically a remake of the Great Escape

Quote: Babs

All me life flashed before me eyes. It was really boring.
