Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that although Chicken Run is rated G, it may be too scary or hard to follow for younger or sensitive kids. A minor character is killed offscreen with an axe, and characters are in peril throughout the movie. The lead male character -- a rooster voiced by Mel Gibson -- drinks a "cocktail" out of a martini glass and acts drunk. There is some cartoonish violence; although it's often comedic and filled with falls and spills, the scenes with the chicken farmers take on a darker tone. Also, an older character -- a chicken who claims to have fought in World War II with the Royal Air Force -- calls Americans "oversexed."

Sexual Content

Very mild flirtations with a rooster.

Violence

Characters in peril throughout. A minor character (chicken) is killed with an ax; the killing isn't shown, but the sound of the ax falling on her neck is heard. Plenty of mild injuries as the chickens try out flying machines. Chickens are threatened with getting turned into pies. Human characters kick each other in the rear and get stuck in a large, ominous-looking pie-making machine.

Language

An older chicken calls Americans "oversexed." Some British slang such as "buggers" and "bum."

Social Behavior

Honesty and teamwork shown through discussion and example.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

A rooster drinks what he calls a "cocktail" out of a martini glass and acts drunk.
