Chicken Run

“Chicken Run” is about a group of chickens living on a farm in England, where they are forced to lay eggs for the farmer, Mrs. Tweedy. The main character, Ginger, is a brave and smart chicken who is always trying to find ways to escape the farm and save her friends from their grim fate.

One day, a rooster named Rocky crashes into the farm. The chickens believe he can fly, and Ginger convinces him to teach them how to fly so they can escape. While Rocky reluctantly agrees, Mrs. Tweedy decides to turn her egg farm into a pie factory, putting all the chickens in even greater danger.

As the chickens work together to learn how to fly, they also build a secret escape plan that involves building a flying machine to help them soar over the farm’s fences.

Over the Hedge

RJ, a sly raccoon with a taste for the good life, accidentally destroys a hibernating bear’s stash of winter food. To avoid getting eaten, RJ makes a fast deal: he’ll replace the food by the next full moon. The only problem? RJ doesn’t have any food himself, and winter has turned the forest into a frozen wasteland.

Spotting a shiny new suburban development bordering their woods, RJ hatches a plan. He convinces a family of recently awakened forest animals – a cautious turtle dad, a hyperactive squirrel, and a smelly skunk, among others – that the suburbs are a land of plenty, overflowing with human leftovers.

Their hilarious mission? sneak into the suburbs each night to gather enough food to appease the bear and keep RJ safe. But between dodging grumpy homeowners, avoiding a cunning exterminator, and facing the challenges of the unfamiliar human world, their plan might be more than they bargained for.

The Bad Guys

Meet Mr. Wolf and his ragtag crew of charming but notorious criminals, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark, and Ms. Tarantula. They’ve mastered the art of pulling off heists, outwitting the police, and staying at the top of the most-wanted list.

But when a big score goes sideways, they find themselves facing an unexpected choice: continue their life of crime or embrace something… well, good. But let’s be real, can a wolf really change its fur? As they wrestle with their instincts, tension builds—are these bad guys really ready to be good, or is something far more sinister lurking in the shadows?

Peter Rabbit

Peter Rabbit, a mischievous bunny with a taste for trouble, lives with his cottontail siblings in a burrow near a delicious vegetable garden. The garden, however, belongs to Mr. McGregor, a grumpy old man who has a long history of trying to get rid of pesky rabbits.

Peter can’t resist the lure of Mr. McGregor’s prize carrots and other goodies, leading him and his siblings on daring raids into the garden. This puts them at odds with Mr. McGregor, who sets all sorts of traps to capture them.

When old Mr. McGregor passes away, his great-nephew, Thomas McGregor, inherits the house and garden. Thomas is a city guy who doesn’t like animals messing up his garden, so he quickly becomes Peter’s new enemy. The two of them engage in a hilarious battle of wits as Peter tries to reclaim the garden for himself and his family.

The conflict between Peter and Thomas escalates, leading to even more comedic and chaotic moments.

The Nut Job

Surly is a mischievous squirrel who lives in a city park with other animals and is always looking for ways to find food, but his selfish and greedy behavior often gets him into trouble with the other park animals. One day, he accidentally causes a food cart explosion, destroying the park’s winter food supply.

Banished from the park, he stumbles upon a nut store filled with enough food to last the entire winter. Seeing an opportunity, he decides to plan a heist to steal all the nuts. But there’s a catch, the nut store is a front for a group of human robbers planning their own heist to rob a bank next door.

Unknowingly, he rallies a ragtag team of park animals, from a wise old raccoon to a clumsy rat, to pull off a daring heist and steal all the nuts. As the animals train, bicker, and cause all sorts of chaos, Surly has to contend with the clumsy criminals and his own grumpy personality.
