As mentioned earlier, the theme of Chicken Run is inspired by the animated movie that tells the story of Ginger, a plump but feisty chicken who dreams of flying. In the game, players are transported to the countryside where they join the Featherweight gang in their bid for freedom from the clutches of an evil farmer.

The design of Chicken Run is visually appealing and reminiscent of the original movie. The reels are set against a beautiful farmland background with lush green fields, rolling hills, and blue skies filled with fluffy white clouds. The symbols on the game’s five reels include various characters from the movie such as Ginger, Rocky, and Bunce, as well as farm animals like hens, pigs, cows, and chickens.
