The theme park’s “Chicken Run Maze” takes guests behind the scenes of the movie as theater-goers everywhere ruffle their bills in anticipation of both the movie and attraction openings this week. The attraction opened Thursday after a poultry-only premiere featuring a flock of celebrity chickens in attendance. The movie opens Friday, June 23 nationwide.
Fresh off their red-carpet arrival at the premiere Thursday morning, two of CPF’s spokes-birds hatched their opinions. CPF spokes-turkey Hedda Gobbler crowed, “Universal Studios plucked a winner with this one! They know eggs-actly what people want in a summer attraction.”
CPF’s other mascot, the California Chick, agreed, “It’s no yolk! The attraction is really something to shake a tail feather at.”
As for the movie, both California Poultry spokesbirds wanted to remind audiences that although “Chicken Run” tells the story of a flock of brave chickens who are determined to escape from the farm before they can be turned into chicken pot pies, this is certainly not the case in real life.
