[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' gave three and a half stars out of four, writing: "So it truly is a matter of life and death for the chickens to escape from the Tweedy Chicken Farm in ''Chicken Run'', a magical new animated film that looks and sounds like no other. Like the otherwise completely different ''[[Babe (film)|Babe]]'', this is a movie that uses animals as surrogates for our hopes and fears, and as the chickens run through one failed escape attempt after another, the charm of the movie wins us over."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/chicken-run-2000|title=Chicken Run Movie Review & Film Summary (2000) – Roger Ebert|first=Roger|last=Ebert|website=www.rogerebert.com|access-date=5 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107015643/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/chicken-run-2000|archive-date=7 November 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>
