Chicken Run
 Chicken Run is a comedy escape drama with a touch of passion set on a sinister Yorkshire chicken farm in 1950s England.

The Protagonist in Chicken Run is Ginger (also called "Baby Doll and "Doll Face"). She is an intelligent, Rhode Island Red Hen and is pretty much the chickens leader and boss. 

Ginger's main goal is to get past the fence and often gets in trouble for her efforts.

The ordinary life of the chickens in Chicken Run is by day they are chickens and do chicken things (obviously) but by night they work hard to try escape their prison like home.

The antagonist of Chicken Run are Mrs Tweedy and Mr Tweedy (more Mrs Tweedy really). Mrs. Tweedy is an extremely greedy, selfish, short-tempered, cruel, cold-hearted women who only uses chickens to get money, which she and her husband are very low on. She is always looking for a chance to bully Mr. Tweedy and the chickens, and despite her nastiness, she does show cleverness at times - she is the one who comes up with the idea of buying a pie machine to use to make more profit from the chickens.

The inciting incident in Chicken Run is the arrival of Rocky. With the introduction of Rocky into the movie he gives the chickens hope that they can escape. The ordinary life of the chickens now changes and the focus on the movie is how the chickens will escape from the murderous farmers keeping them captive.

The turning point in the movie is when the final escape takes place. The film has been building up to this escape attempt and we have seen all the previous failed attempts but this is their last chance to escape before they are all turned into chicken pies!
