Chicken Run - A Unique Album

By:	AdamR

Chicken Run is a very unique album when you consider composer John Powell (in one of his first scoring roles) uses kazoos in some of the upbeat numbers of the album such as "Main Titles" and "Flight Training" to provide a fun atmosphere as the chickens try to escape the egg farm.

Powell uses a main "escape theme" multiple times in this album, and you can hear softer sides of the theme with flutes as main character Ginger decides and plots how to escape. Rooster Rocky is presented with a jazz-infused background of music as he teaches the chickens how to fly in "Flight Training" and later in "Cocktails and Flighty Thoughts". The main number people remember from the film, largely because it has vocals is "Flip, Flop, and Fly" performed by Ellis Hall. The upbeat, big-band number with dancing chickens and Christmas lights is hard to forget once you've seen and heard it once.

Many people rate this album highly for it uniqueness and how themes were presented for...well, chickens. Powell certainly kept the feel of a British farm within his score and gave listeners of scores something different to hear than the usual animated film score.
