The hit film released in 2000 starred voices like Mel Gibson, Julia Sawalha and Gérard Depardieu and told the story of a group of chickens that needed to learn how to fly to escape their farm.
It has a massive 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes which is a seriously incredible feat, but not surprising because this film is a CLASSIC!
Honestly 2020 is saved now. Thanks Netflix.
