The first official trailer for Chicken Run 2: Dawn Of The Nugget was released on Tuesday.
The film stars Thandiwe Newton, Zachary Levi and Bella Ramsey.
The plot: The chickens Ginger and Rocky welcome a new little adventurer into their lives.
‘Welcome to the future,’ said the movie’s female villain as the chickens gasp.
The comedy – which will be released on December 15, 2023 – uses its famous stop-motion animation.
Netflix picked up the movie in 2020 during the 20th anniversary of the original film and it went into production in 2021.
Two decades after the blockbuster first dropped, Sam Fell’s British hit still remains the highest-grossing stop-motion animated film of all time, and even scooped the Best Animated Feature prize at the 2001 Critics’ Choice Awards.
Chicken Run 2 will follow Ginger and Rocky’s new life in a ‘peace island sanctuary’, free of humans after escaping Tweedy’s farm.
With the hen and rooster hatching a little girl called Molly, the couple’s world seems complete, but they’re later forced to turn their attention towards the dangers of the mainland.
