Trivia

Chickens don't have teeth, even though every chicken in this film is shown to have a full set. This is because of the traditional Aardman animation to have every single character to have a cheesy grin. See more...

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Mrs Tweedy gets the idea of converting her farm when reading the brochure called "Sick and tired of making minuscule profits," a wedding picture of the Tweedies is seen on a cupboard at the back. Then, in the next shot, as Mrs Tweedy slams her hand on her desk that same picture suddenly happens to be on the desk.

Mistake Continuity: When Rocky is pedaling the tricycle there is a radio on the back and its aerial is on the right hand side. But when the shot is from the back the aerial moves to the other side of the radio and then back again on the front shots.

Mistake Continuity: Mrs' Tweedy stretches her gloves out and releases them. The chickens gulp and Mrs. Tweedy walks away. Between these two shots of Mrs. Tweedy, the clouds behind her obviously change.

Mistake Continuity: When Ginger is hiding in that metal thing to stop the gate from closing to let the other chickens out, she runs to shut it and it shows a close up of her and the gate closing on her. You can see the gate is almost shut, but when the camera cuts to a differnt angle, the gate is wide open.

Mistake Plot hole: Ginger can hold Mrs Tweedy single winged. She can also tip up a feeder full of food. So now we have clarified that she is one ridiculously strong hen, how does she need help pushing up a deck chair?

Mistake Continuity: In one or two long shots for the head counts you can see all the chickens in the entire farm lined up outside. There are at least two hundred of them. In all other scenes and on the escape vehicle, you never see more than 20 chickens or so. Where did all the others go?

Mistake Continuity: Rocky is at one point so big that he barely fits inside a fairly big box and needs to be pried out. But later on, he and Ginger fit perfectly inside a small pie.
