Continuity mistake: 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.
Chicken Run (2000)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Nick Park
Starring: Mel Gibson, Miranda Richardson, Imelda Staunton, Jane Horrocks, Julia Sawalha
Mr. Tweedy finds out the chicken's big scheme to escape on the night they're all supposed to be turned into pies. The chickens escape in the "crate" (flying machine) they built from their huts (despite Mr. Tweedy's attempts to stop them), but Mrs. Tweedy grabs onto a string of Christmas lights joined to the plane. Ginger tries to cut the wire while Mrs. Tweedy tries to decapitate Ginger with a hatchet. Thinking she succeeded, Mrs. Tweedy cuts the wire and gets stuck head-first into the pie machine. The chicken farm explodes and releases a cloud of gravy into the air. Rocky and Ginger, despite not having lips, kiss. The chickens land in a bird sanctuary and have families. Nick and Fetcher talk about starting a chicken farm and get into an argument about that they'll need to get started: a chicken or an egg?

Question: I heard that the penguin from Wallace and Gromit appears in the opening scene. Is this true? Could anyone point it out to me?
