Critics Consensus

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget offers more of the easy laughs and eye-catching animation that fans of the original enjoyed, although there's a general feeling of diminishing returns.

It’s pleasingly daft, very British and not exactly memorable.

3/5

There are some fine new villains. The voice work rumbles with buttered-crumpet charm. Middle-ranking Aardman is better than almost anyone else on top form.

2/5

Briskly cheerful, but lacking the sharp deadpan wit that made Aardman famous, this episode is a warmed-over broiler that offers only paltry pleasures.

It can’t shake that feeling that its the sequel we never needed.

It’s fun watching the chickens break into this retro-futuristic farm, but the tension is mostly flat. I enjoyed myself, but is “cute enough” enough for a 23-years-later sequel?

3.5/5

With the same high-quality animation, good jokes, and a great voice cast, this film may not surpass its predecessor, but it certainly lives up to its name. [Full Review in Spanish]

Non capisco le critiche! Secondo me è meglio del primo.

A nostalgic and visually impeccable sequel that makes up for the predictability of the script with plenty of energy and Aardman's characteristic humor. It doesn't have the same impact as the original, but it entertains from beginning to end with its new scale of action.

It's good, and more colorful than the other one, and it gives some details about scientists.
