Chicken Run (2000)

84 MINUTES, UK
DIRECTOR: PETER LORD & NICK PARK
CAST: JULIA SAWALHA, MEL GIBSON, MIRANDA RICHARDSON, JANE HORROCKS 

The first feature film from Aardman Animations, the Oscar and BAFTA winning team behind Wallace and Gromit. Originally pitched as The Great Escape with chickens. Ginger (Julia Sawalha) has to organise an escape from the Tweedy Egg Farm. Maybe Rocky the Flying Rooster (Mel Gibson) will be their ticket out.

The Corpse Bride (2005)

77 MINUTES, USA
DIRECTOR: TIM BURTON & MIKE JOHNSON
CAST: JOHHNY DEPP, HELENA BONHAM CARTER, EMILY WATSON, RICHARD E. GRANT 

When Victor (Johnny Depp) practises his wedding vows in the woods, he accidently revives a dead woman called Emily (Helena Bonham Carter) who claims Victor as her husband. As can be expected from a Tim Burton movie, The Corpse Bride is whimsically macabre, visually imaginative and emotionally bittersweet.
