Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget director Sam Fell discusses why Mel Gibson and other key characters from the original animated comedy were recast for the forthcoming sequel. Directed by Peter Lord and Nick Park, the original Chicken Run, which was released in June 2000, follows a group of chickens seeking to escape their captivity on a farm in England and become free-range chickens. The widely successful stop-motion animation featured Julia Sawalha, Gibson, Tony Haygarth, and Miranda Richardson along with other talented voice actors. A sequel was announced in 2018, and after years of production, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is set to be released on Netflix in December.
