Netflix's Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget cast and the actors who voice the characters

More than two decades after its original release, Chicken Run's sequel has finally landed.

The hit film, which first hatched in 2000, follows a determined hen Ginger and a cocky rooster Rocky on their mission to avoid a disastrous fate: being made into pie. The pair, originally voiced by Julia Sawalha and Mel Gibson, successfully broke out of the farm they were kept at and led their flock to safety.
