One of the best stop-motion animated films ever. It's not exactly underrated since it has 97% ratings in Rotten Tomatoes but not much people have even heard of the movie, unlike Frozen.
Chicken Run is a 2000 British-American stop-motion animation family film produced
It is a pastiche of and homage to The Great Escape; the chicken coop in the opening shot deliberately looks like a POW internment camp, complete with what looks like a guard emplacement (it's actually a water tank).
The plot centers on a band of chickens who see a smooth-talking Rhode Island Red named Rocky as their only hope to escape from certain death when the owners of their farm decide to move from selling eggs to selling chicken pot pies.

This film was really fun to watch. I mean like, chickens trying to
learn how to fly? Ha! I'm just kidding, anything's possible when you believe
and make it happen. Aside from comedy, I thought there was a bit of suspense
whenever the chickens try to escape a tragedy from happening. Ginger is
quite strong and clever for a chicken and she does everything she can to save
the whole chicken clan from slaughter. That says a lot—that she truly cares for
each one.
I was a bit pissed at Rocky for not telling them immediately that he
can’t actually fly-- that none of them can, but at least he introduced to
them the idea of catapulting out of there. I just get scared for them and I don’t
know why, it’s just a movie. I had the feeling though, after watching the film,
that I don’t think I’ll be eating chicken for a while.
