Chicken Run

1) The main target audience for the film 'Chicken Run' is children, but this film could also be targeted at adults. The film is animated and has a simple story line, making it enjoyable for children and easy for them to follow. The theme of the film could be targeted at adults, as it is similar to films such as 'The Great Escape' who's general audience is adults.  Other than that, some of the humour used in the film that children find funny, has a deeper meaning which adults can also enjoy, and may relate to their own lives.

2) I would class this as a children's film, firstly because it is an animated film in which, lots of bright colours and funny shapes are used. The characters look quite childish, silly grins and big round eyes. Other than that, the plot of the story is simple and easy to follow. The classification of the film is 'U' making it suitable for children, hence there are no references to drugs etc. and very short scenes of mild violence and horror e.g. when one of the chickens is killed. There is no particularly bad language used either, there are some stunts done by the chickens, but nothing really imitable e.g. the giant catapult.

3) Chicken Run is a comedy escape drama set on a sinister Yorks chicken farm in 1950's England.
It was directed by Peter Lord and Nick Park. It was inspired by escape movies, especially 'The Great Escape' to which there are many references throughout the film. The cost to create the film is an estimated $42,000,000, the film has to date made a revenue of $224,834,56. The film has won numerous awards including, 2 BAFTA's for 'Best British Film' and 'Best Visual Effects' and A Golden Globe Award for 'Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy'.
