You can pick up hundreds of DVD's for a round-pound each - it doesn't matter. Its never about quantity, its about quality. A-Z is my way of going through my collection, from A-Z, and understanding why I own the films ... or you can tell me why I should sell 'em
#42 - Chicken Run
Why did I buy it?
This goes way back. Again, a huge bunch of films were purchased in the hey-day of DVD. Chicken Run was one of these films. I remember the exceptional sales it had around Christmas time and the huge British-Success which was Nick Parks animation studios going 'feature'-length. Unlike the various Wallace and Gromit shorts that preceded it.

Why do I still own it?
Because, if I'm honest, I don't think its bad enough to sell. I need a little bit of balance to my Disney-only family films - and this is one of them. Then again, I don't look at it and think "this is incredible" - in fairness, I think its a good film. I would have to replace it with another family-friendly film and the question is - which one? There is nothing as unique as claymation chickens and, with Mel Gibson, there is a nice Hollywood touch.
Can You Recommend the Family-friendly film I should have instead if Chicken Run?
