Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

With a film as wildly, intelligently entertaining as Chicken Run, the score needs to be something special just to keep pace. Not a problem, then, for John Powell and Harry Gregson-Williams, a pair who have worked (together and separately) on other animated films (The Tigger Movie, Antz) and action films (Enemy of the State, Face/Off)--which has prepared them perfectly for a film in which a gaggle of chickens re-enact The Great Escape. Powell and Gregson-Williams' score is perfectly suited to the action on screen: classic instrumentation and serious themes, but with the occasional nod and wink; this is a score that--like the film itself--takes itself just seriously enough. Never bombastic, the cues pay tribute to the music of classic war and action movies--there's a hint of The Dirty Dozen, a nod to Indiana Jones, even a Star Wars-esque bit towards the end. --Randy Silver

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a "curate's egg"!, 11 Jan 2003
By R. F. Pyke (Kidlington, Oxfordshire England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Film music is generally something that goes on in the background, adding to the visual impact without attracting conscious attention in its own right. This is a great pity, especially in this case. How many people who have watched the film will have paid much attention to the music? Not many, I'll bet, and this CD can put that right.

The music is funny, quirky and in places really rather lovely. It shares the humour of the film and it is fun to pick up the references, but there is much more to it than this. It is a soundtrack worth listening to for sheer pleasure. The tunes range from the catchy and invigorating (listen out for the massed kazoos!) to the sad and wistful ("Up on the roof"). It is beautifully written and played, and guaranteed to raise a smile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Movie Memories!, 2 Mar 2001
By A Customer
I really like this CD as it reminds me of all the scenes from the film. When I play this CD I sometimes enjoy listening to it so much I just have to watch the film again! I would really recommend this to anyone who has seen the film.
