Critics Consensus

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget offers more of the easy laughs and eye-catching animation that fans of the original enjoyed, although there's a general feeling of diminishing returns.

The Age (Australia)

It’s pleasingly daft, very British and not exactly memorable.

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

There are some fine new villains. The voice work rumbles with buttered-crumpet charm. Middle-ranking Aardman is better than almost anyone else on top form.

Rated: 3/5

Jonathan Romney

Financial Times

Briskly cheerful, but lacking the sharp deadpan wit that made Aardman famous, this episode is a warmed-over broiler that offers only paltry pleasures.

Rated: 2/5

Eye for Film

The action element of the film has the enjoyable verve of the original, particularly when the mechanics of the nugget-maker are involved, but the lack of a tight focus on characters in one place makes the emotional heart of the matter more diffuse.

Rated: 3.5/5

Jack Bottomley

Starburst

[Dawn of the Nugget] does repeat some old hits, but it is a wacky, wild and ever so slightly scary follow-up, that has laughs and tail feather shaking delights over a rather pro-vegan story of trauma, freedom and family.

Rated: 4/5

That Shelf

The rumours of Aardman’s demise — the animation studio, not anyone with that surname — have been somewhat exaggerated.

Great claymation action with charming witty British humour, I loved it. Aardman Animation does it again!

The truth is that although it does not surpass the first film, it is very good, it manages to work on its own, a shame that it is very underrated.

Both Chicken Run movies are excellent. The Dawn of the Nugget is undoubtedly a worthy sequel to a worthy film. The story is excellent and does not leave behind the essence of the first. This film tries new and refreshing things. Bring brighter colors and new characters. Chicken Run 2: Dawn of the Nugget is a film with great animation and a big delicious imagination. Highly recommended and enjoyable.

Might be biased but the film was great! Not as great as the 1st probably a landslide but still was chrming enough to entertain me for 1hr 42minutes. I wish they bringed back the old voice actors and did better with marketing. In fact WHY DID THEY INTRODUCE MS.TWEEDY IN THE TRAILER
