Sam - Chicken Run

1. 1.       I think the main target audiences for Chicken Run would be one of young children. However, some of the jokes made in the film could only be understood by an older audience – making it a very good film for a family target audience.
2. 2.       I would class this as a children’s film. Though some parts of the plot are may be considered slightly disturbing (the chicken-pie maker machine, the axing of the chicken), the main plotline contains simple and understandable themes, as well as easy to understand humour.
3. 3.       The film Chicken Run cost around $45million, gaining a revenue of $224,834,564. It was directed by Peter Lord and Nick Park. The inspiration from the film came from another film, The Great Escape which was about a group of P.O.Ws. Many references to this film are made within Chicken Run.
