Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget official teaser<\/h3>\n

Nearly 24 years after the beloved children\u2019s film blew audiences away in 2000, Ginger, Rocky and the rest of the Chicken Run crew return to screens for Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget.<\/p>\n

The announcement of a sequel after two decades stunned fans but filmmakers revealed the journey behind the scenes was far more bizarre than anyone could have imagined.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Daily Express at the film\u2019s headline gala at the London Film Festival, Anne King, who led the puppet team, revealed that the stop-motion puppets were actually quite high-risk during the depths of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

She jokingly explained that the making of the puppets is \u201creally unhygienic\u201d, saying that some animators \u201ceven lick (the clay) to smooth them down\u201d and with each puppet being handled by multiple creators and animators there was the potential for a superspreader event.<\/p>\n

As a result, the stars of Chicken Run had to be quarantined as well as their human creators.<\/p>\n

Anne continued: \u201cWe put them under some UV cabinets, more like a chicken sunbed, to give them a bit of a blast to kill anything and leave them for a bit before we swapped over to another animator, just to make sure we were being hygienic.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s production designer, Darren Dubicki, also revealed that the streets of Bristol had a surprising influence on the Netflix blockbuster as he worked from home during the lockdowns.<\/p>\n

He revealed with a chuckle: \u201cI made some cardboard cutouts of the characters Rocky and Ginger at the right scale and wandered around the streets of Bristol, around its architecture so I could get a sense of the scale.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t get into the studio at the time so that\u2019s the closest thing we could do to get the ball moving.\u201d<\/p>\n
