Editor's P/S
As a long-time fan of the original Chicken Run, I was thrilled to hear about the release of Chicken Run 2: Dawn of the Nugget. The first movie was a classic, and I couldn't wait to see what the sequel had in store. I was a bit disappointed to learn that some of the original voice actors had been replaced, but I was still excited to see the new cast bring their own unique talents to the characters.
Overall, I thought Chicken Run 2 was a fun and entertaining movie. The story was engaging, the characters were well-developed, and the animation was top-notch. I especially enjoyed the performances of Thandiwe Newton as Ginger and Zachary Levi as Rocky. They brought a lot of energy and charisma to their roles. The movie also had some great laughs, and I found myself chuckling throughout.
