When you think of Mel Gibson, blockbuster action films and sweeping historical dramas probably come to mind. Through the 1980s and 1990s, he became a global superstar thanks to Lethal Weapon, the Mad Max saga, and award-winning hits like Braveheart and The Patriot. Yet, one of Gibson’s most memorable—and certainly his most unusual—performances didn’t come from wielding a sword or surviving the apocalypse. Instead, in 2000, he lent his voice to a bold but quirky rooster named Rocky in the stop-motion animated film Chicken Run. Now available to stream on Netflix, this unique project remains a standout in Gibson’s career and continues to hold the title of the highest-grossing stop-motion film ever made.

A Quirky Escape Story With A British Twist

Chicken Run combines Aardman Animations’ signature humor—best known from Wallace and Gromit—with an imaginative parody of classic prison escape films. Set on a bleak chicken farm that mirrors a World War II POW camp, the story follows a group of hens desperate to escape after their owners, the Tweedys, decide chicken pies are more profitable than eggs. Enter Rocky, the self-proclaimed “flying” rooster voiced by Gibson, who arrives just in time to give the flock hope of freedom.

Of course, everyone knows chickens can’t actually fly, and Rocky’s tall tale is part of the comedy. Still, Gibson’s lively performance—combined with Peter Lord and Nick Park’s clever script—makes Rocky both charming and entertaining, even as he fumbles through being a reluctant hero.

Why Chicken Run Still Impresses

Beyond its witty dialogue and sharp storytelling, Chicken Run is a technical achievement in stop-motion animation. Bringing the film to life required immense precision, with Aardman’s team working on 30 elaborate sets and employing around 80 animators. It’s said that producing just one minute of footage could take an entire week of work. The meticulous detail, from crafting beaks and feathers to ensuring seamless set transitions, pays off in a spectacular final escape sequence that pushes the medium to its limits.

Financially, the film was just as successful. With a budget of $45 million, Chicken Run went on to earn $225 million at the global box office, later becoming a top-selling DVD. More than two decades later, it retains its critical acclaim, holding a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Why You Should Revisit It on Netflix

Although Gibson has appeared in many films since—such as Signs and Daddy’s Home 2—nothing quite compares to hearing him as a rooster convincing hens they can fly. With its clever mix of slapstick, subtle British wit, and groundbreaking animation, Chicken Run remains a family favorite and a must-watch for fans of both Aardman and classic Gibson performances.

Now streaming on Netflix, Chicken Run offers the perfect chance to revisit one of animation’s most delightful and unusual adventures—or to discover it for the very first time.
