Chicken Run” brings the clever, good-natured claymation of Peter Lord and Nick Park, the creators of the popular “Wallace and Gromit” shorts, to the big screen.
An homage to 1963’s “The Great Escape,” the 2000 film features chickens plotting their escape from a farm. Their inability to leave the ground greatly hampers their chance of escape, until Rocky, a “flying rooster,” comes to save the day.
Bring the kids and see the film this month outdoors at the Bedford Stuyvesant Community Garden, which boasts — fittingly — one of the city’s largest chicken coops, which makes for great background noise.
“Chicken Run” at the Bedford Stuyvesant Community Garden [94 Malcolm X Blvd. at Greene Avenue (212) 333-2552], Aug. 13 at 7:30 pm. Free. For info, visit www.nyrp.org.
