Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Is Rocky a [[Jerkass]], {{spoiler|who lead the girls on false promises and turned their backs on them only to have a sudden attack of conscience that prompts him to return}}, or is he a sympathetic man (or rooster) who was put into this situation by a goal driven chicken who would stop at nothing to get what she wants, and gets treated like a [[Jerkass]] even though he technically, never lied in the first place.
* [[Animation Age Ghetto]]: ''[[
** According to [[The Other Wiki]], the producers attempted to avert this by dropping a character from the early scripts named Nobby (who was supposed to be Ginger's little brother, and thus the [[Kid Appeal Character]]) in order to avoid being excessively cute.
* [[Award Snub]]: Despite critical acclaim, a determined campaign from Aardman and preference by a number of Academy voters, the movie failed to gain a Best Picture nomination. This would result in the creation of the Best Animated Feature category the next year.
Line 16:
* [[Narm]]: [[It Makes Sense in Context|"You are going to be a pie!"]]
** Additionally, {{spoiler|Ginger's}} [[Disney Death]] can lose its shock pretty quickly, especially when you notice that the top of her head is still slightly visible, making it glaringly obvious what really happened.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Mrs. Tweedy has been compared to [[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Maleficent]] in terms of scariness, and for good reason. With her motivation being stereotypical greed, she could easily have become a comical [[Large Ham]], but she...doesn't. Her lack of emotion as she carries out her plan is precisely what makes her so chilling. And ''then'' we have the climax, where she goes [[Ax Crazy]] and maniacally tries to slaughter our heroes, arguably [[For the Evulz]] at that point. To top it all off, think about the film in relation to [[World War Two]]; it shouldn't take long to realize that Mrs. Tweedy is an [[Expy]] of '''Hitler.''' Enjoy the movie, kids.
** When Ginger and Rocky get trapped in the pie machine.
** The offscreen death of one of the chicken's by axe in the beginning of the movie. You don't see anything but you hear the sound.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: [[Big No|Rocky's]] [[Futile Hand Reach|reaction]] when Ginger is seemingly killed by Mrs Tweedy can be pretty heart tugging.
** Dude, the guy is ''crying''.
* [[The Problem
* [[Special Effect Failure]]: See the second entry under [[Narm]] above.
* [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?]]: See [[Never Trust a Trailer]]. The film was marketed as a kids' comedy but is actually quite mature and surprisingly dark.
