The gut-wrenching fear of the similar scene later when a smiling Mrs.And for good measure, we're treated to a brief-but-harrowing shot of Edwina's bones on a plate after the Tweedy's have her for dinner, which is also accompanied by an unsettling woman's song being played from a nearby radio.You don't see anything but you hear the sound. The offscreen death of Edwina by axe in the beginning of the movie.It's small, but rather startling when you look closely. When Rocky is sent down the chute with the vegetables, the passageway switches from "Veg," with the letters painted bright green, to "Meat," with letters painted blood red.There's a reason Nick Park described it as "the Death Star of chickendom." While exciting to watch, it's clear that one false move or improper timing and Rocky and Ginger would not make it out alive. The entire escape scene in the pie machine.only for one of the dogs to bite the gnome's head off and continue to advance on her chewing on the broken pieces. In the opening, Ginger is cornered by the dogs and she uses a garden gnome to defend herself.The Tweedy's vicious guard dogs pull no punches.(To Ginger, after capturing her.) I've got a score to settle with you. Tweedy, despite being a bit slower than his wife, proves he can be just as brutal when he first throws Ginger in the coal bin and barks at the other chickens, without a hint of irony in his voice, No wonder the chickens are terrified when you realise what they're for. and then putting them on as she takes Edwina into the chop.

Tweedy gleefully snapping her red rubber gloves at the roll-call.

You couldn't think of a more threatening name than the corruption of malicious, the very adjective of malice. When you think deep, it makes sense as to why. Although this changes when the pie machine comes into the picture, but there's no change in her sadism. She quietly grins when taking Edwina to "the chop." Subtle, no, but it establishes that this isn't just a job for her.Her plot to kill all the chickens and turn them into pies also draws comparison to Sweeney Todd, with none of the sympathetic qualities of the plays' protagonist.Tweedy and the guard dogs all cower in fear from her when she looks like this immediately establishes just how much of a threat she is. while wearing a plush pink dressing gown, slippers and a nightcap. Case in point: her very first scene has her standing in the doorway of the farmhouse scowling, fists on her hips.Her presence alone commands fear in everyone on the farm, from the chickens to her own husband/accomplice, because they know just how cruel she can be if and when she feels like it. In addition to being Aardman's version of Adolf Hitler (the farm is designed like a Concentration Camp, and the pie machine is an Expy of Hitler's "shower rooms"), she's been favourably compared to Maleficent as a cold, calculating villain, carrying her plans out with chilling precision (not to mention having similar personality traits to Cruella De Vil, which includes a bad temper and wanting to harm animals).

For a movie about chickens trying to escape their farm, Chicken Run, along with A Matter Of Loaf And Death, is considered by many to be the darkest Aardman Animations feature.
