It's finally here, the definitive examination of perhaps the most accomplished piece of radical art in history: Chicken Run.

GL!
Let us not forget the final moments of Mrs.Tweedy, where Mr.Tweedy pushes down the door of the barn, presumably killing her, symbolic of how the members of the middle-class who manage the systems of oppression must also reject the upper classes who profit from that system for the world to be truly free from capitalism.
damn, that's so true. nice catch
Me, having seen the trailer for the sequel: ....Well, turns out the upper class was only mostly dead.
@@thirdcoinedge lol, originally made the comment a year ago on the original video, was simply transposing it over here cause it belongs with this video, in whichever form it takes
I seem to recall someone in Private Eye magazine, at the time, pointing out the close physical resemblance between Mrs Tweedy and Tony Blair, and I have to say they were spot on 😂
Will happily give this video another watch for the algo.
No Gods.
No Masters.
No Cops.
But the algo must be fed...for now....
no gods, no masters, only chickens

very apposite comment to come from username toyotaprius
@@RoamingAdhocratmeh. I used to get dozens of death threats because of it back in the day
heh, I'd prefer to drive a Prius to my 2003 petrol car… aspiration is a Nissan Leaf, or for electric railway to reach my town…
From each according to their talons, to each according to their beaks
A true Clawnifesto.
Real praxis is watching a re-upload to get around copyright.
Oh aye, cause a long form you tube essay is how I pirate my 20 year old childrens films. Copyright is a bunch of unserious nonsense for actual fuds.
Alright, I have to rewatch the re-upload at least 10 times now to make up for the last one being taken down, cheers lads
Last one is still up in some countries but not the UK and much of europe at least
So this is why I have always liked Chicken Run since I was a kid. Poultry of the world, unite!
rewatching this because it is TRUE
also because I laugh each and every time you cut to Rocky getting slapped
I thought everyone knew this was a Communist film, just like "A Bug's Life".
I knew this even as a kid. It made me paranoid about red-wave era politics affecting my future.
With colours as with the future;
Red belongs to us, comrade.
One of my favorite / the best video essays on this platform. ❤
As I sit in my work from home chicken coop for the millionth hour of my life I'll never get back, I got an odd pang of emotion listening to some of this. My #1 childhood film.
I’d kill for a full version of that gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss edit of Roar
Huh. Didn't realise the original had been censored by the anti-chicken mob. How ironic that only last week I was discussing how Chicken Run is the greatest film ever made.
They fear our power
Tis the video that made me sub. And made me rewatch the movie. Which also at the same time made me vegan. Life altering.
"And we're the commies!"
Oh no, I guess I'll just have to watch this again for the engagement boost. What a shame
engagement, please ignore
Just wanted to rewatch this the other day and noticed it was gone, glad to see it back 😊
This is such a great analysis. Always a joy to watch
I’m terrified about the new chicken run, I’m so scared they’re gonna neoliberalize it
I'm so nervous
@@JohntheDuncan hope to see your thoughts on it when it comes out though man
They end up in a Free range organic chicken farm.
No worries it’s still chicken liberationists and still passes the Bectel test
Im finally getting to this video after hearing you mention it so many times 😂
oh no guess I gotta watch this fantastic video again
Playing this in the background to give it a view XD. This was a fun essay when I watched it the first time around.
I should've known - the Aardman logo is a red star! Granted, I was 4 when this film came out, but I should have known!
The "I told you they was organised" line is also great, really showing the power of collective action.
great, an excuse to rewatch this 10 more times!
Damn the ©️
I rewatched Chicken Run last week. It truly is the best piece of communist art, maybe the best movie of all time??? I lost it when they *literally* threw their bodies upon the gears... there's no misinterpreting that! So excited for Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (!!!) Liberation for all chickens! :D
I'm so nervous about the sequel
@@JohntheDuncan I hope it leans on anti-capitalistic themes rather than "spreading democracy" if u know what I mean 👀
@@rascal_raegirl same
@@JohntheDuncanif the sequel is not communist then we shall make it communist
Screw it thought I was done with leftist movie media breakdowns but I guess I'm being dragged back in John you rascal
As chicken run is about chickens I feel the need to mention that we (human leftists) must include animal liberation in our own liberation from capitalism. No chicken (or cow or pig or any being) left behind. Veganism is a good step to atleast not directly give money to the industry. Lives should be more important than profits.
Imagine analyzing chicken run and not mentioning speciesism and nonhuman animal oppression. Leftists need to be vegan.
The problem is not consuming animal products but the treatment of the animals
I've probably already watched this video a few too many times to be normal so I'm going to put it on 2x speed and make dinner instead. It's such a good video though
Oh man this was amazing. It's one of those films that I haven't thought about since I was 12, I used to watch it on repeat on a VHS tape.
It truly is a masterpiece, I have to watch it again with my friends! Greetings from 🇨🇿
I watched the movie a while back because I saw a short of you talking about the movie's themes. Then I was sad that I couldn't find the full analysis on your channel. So happy to finally see it! And the movie really is such a fun time, thanks so much for the recommendation

(pollo is Spanish for chicken. sorry if my multilingual punnage is too obscure lol)
@@alliecat6281 I found it very punny! 😆
@@LimeyRedneck thanks
I liked this video both times I watched it so now I guess I'll watch it again 🤷
glad to revisit this absolute banger, still giggle every time the clip of rocky getting slapped plays
I need a Ginger in my life to organise me and my fellows into an effective unified force
beautiful upload. ♥♥♥ loved seeing the film through your socialist lens ❤❤❤
Love how I can now finish the lines from the film when they come up. With enough rewatches I shall be able to do the same with the essay.
A film I've loved since i was a child. And this is a great damn video, I've seen it like 4 times already
A lesser movie would have been about ginger continuously failing to escape the farm while facing prejudice from other chickens, only to be saved by a cool american cock and then being chased by mr tweedy and his dog while falling in love with rocky. The fact this movie was written the way it was with the budget it had and had such a wide release is close to a miracle.
It was the first film I ever saw in a cinema.
Fly free my poultry sisters!
Lol. This was the first of your videos that I ever watched. Ha!
I guess I should watch chickenrun. (I heard about it existing years ago when I watched some Wallace and Gromit. Also Aardman Studios is owned by the workers as far as I know.
i told ye they would organise.
This has reminded me that my siblings should also watch this video. I must show it to them.
Sequel releasing soon!
Aw shit, but I wanted to rewatch your built differently video. Know what? I'm gonna put this on when I get home from work and plunk my phone down. That way you get the views and I get to further steep my brain in your more theory-heavy content.
Should CZcams last for a thousand years then when people look back they will say, this, was their finest half hour.
Dang bro you sus 😅 did he blow you?
just found your channel through Tirrrb's recent community post and omg,, this is quality content !! brb gonna rewatch chicken run now that i'm fully aware of the masterpiece it is 😁😁
Great analysis! I especially love how you took the initiative to solicit input from hens. I haven't seen that in anyone else's communist reading of Chicken Run. It really elevated the video!
I've just found your channel, this video is fantastic and I'm very excited to get into the previous stuff you have made 😍
omg obsessed with this video essay !!
Really fantastic breakdown, great video!
Best video on the best piece of revolutionary art! Hyped for the sequel!
One of my favorite childhood movies as well! Hope you'll do a video on the recent sequel. I've not gotten around to watching it yet but people seem positive about it :)
I need to rewatch this ❤
Idk if it was intentional, but the chicken coops remind me of the stalag from The Great Escape.
Thank youuuuuuu !!!
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! i could finally watch this! stinky youtube doing the copy right garbage! thank you for uploading a version the whole world can see
Definitely one of your best!
I think it's your best video specifically because it makes all the theory you communicate the most accessible
This is the best video i’ve ever seen on youtube.
thanks for that
Fantastic and super insightful video, glad to see it back up. Pretty sure this film is responsible for my own radicalisation (and eventual veganism).
So is there going to be a marxist analysis of chicken run dawn of the nugget?
yes
As a leftist, I really like this analysis. From my perspective as a vegan, I also find a more literal reading interesting. People will watch this movie and see the cruelty of the farm for exactly what it is, yet be perfectly fine eating chickens and eggs raised in even more horrific conditions with complete obliviousness to that inconsistency.
Chicken run 2 is going to have a tie in with the homophobic chicken place.
Yes, yes, good.
It also passes the Bectel test
Can we get a follow up video on the sequel? It really reminded me of the palestine/other conflicts going on across the world and how just because we do not live in a physical warzone it doesnt mean we get to ignore others. The ending sequence with them going and destroying other chicken farms made me cry. Also loved the solarpunk aesthetic of the chicken town.
Oh it will come but i havent watched the sequel yet cause ive been too busy but yes that will likely be the first video of 2024
@@JohntheDuncan nice! Thanks for all the great content this year!
Also super vegan film
The origional upload of this introduced me to leftist theory. Gald to see it again.
A sequel is coming to netflix. I'm sure it will build on your thesis :p
Commenting for multiple interactions
Probably the word disrespectful. A lot of people who say it come across as actively rude to others
Don't get me wrong, I totally love your content, but recently you are reuploading your old videos, right? Why is that? Are they down? Why don't you put [reupload] or something into the title or thumbnail?
Check the title, description, and pinned comment of this
@@JohntheDuncan Sorry, my bad
@@twipameyer1210 no worries
when will you cover the sequel lol
As soon as a can!
Thoughts on Dawn of the Nugget?
A video will be out imminently
@@JohntheDuncanthe way i ran to this video after watching the sequel to see if you would be doing a follow up video ❤
✊🐔🐓🤠💚💜
Rocky is a Renegade. 😤
/j but also not really 😊
comment boost
I have just been informed this movie was made by mel gibson 😭
Mel Gibson played rocky but he didn't make it
I sure hope you include veganism in your communism
This is film about nonhuman animal oppression, which I'm guessing you as a nonvegan support. Nonhuman animals are treated solely as property, reduced to things without rights. A more fitting analogy is the slave trade :P
Chicken Run isn't a communist work of art, its literally just chicken great escape.
Critique of capitalism doesn't equate to communism, nor does selfless 0 commerce actions.
That all being said, your video was entertaining to watch.
You think it's just entertainment now but the point will sit in your mind working away and then in a years time you'll e joining us alongside comrade Ginger
@@JohntheDuncan I don't think I'll ever be a communist, but I do enjoy philosophy entertainment. Even when I think its a bit reaching.
@@magnuserror9305It's too late. Your conversion has already begun.
@@Praisethesunson My conversion is as real as communism itself.
Based video, comrade. Solidarity from the vile US imperialist core. Subbing to your channel
