CHICKEN RUN
In English - Rated G - Recommended all ages
June 26, 27 - 11:00am - IFC Center, 323 Sixth Avenue (at West Third)
"The Great Escape but with chickens." Plucky hen Ginger works at Tweedy's Chicken Farm laying eggs for the vicious Mrs. Tweedy. When egg production begins to dwindle, Mrs. Tweedy decides to turn The Farm into a chicken pot-pie factory. Trapped behind barbed wire and fearing for their lives, the determined Ginger and her fellow pen-mates try tunnels, catapults, disguises, and all manner of deception to escape their prison camp coop and evade destruction by the monstrous pie-making machine. All appears hopeless when out of the blue a dashing rooster named Rocky lands in The Farm -- an aerialist fresh off of the circus circuit -- and promises to teach the fawning, lovestruck hens how to fly.

WALLACE & GROMIT
THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT
In English - Rated G - Recommended all ages
July 10, 11 - 11:00am - IFC Center, 323 Sixth Avenue (at West Third)
Oscar Winner - Best Animated Feature! Claymation's most beloved duo, Wallace and Gromit, bring all the fun and ingenuity of their Oscar-winning shorts to their first full-length feature film -- a send-up of the Victorian Gothic horror genre, in which the absent-minded inventor Wallace accidently swaps brains with a rabbit and wreaks havoc on local vegetable gardens. While the rabbit discovers a newfound fondness for cheese, Wallace's attempts to keep his bunny instincts hidden from romantic interest Lady Tottingham become increasingly and hilariously strained. Of course, the longsuffering Gromit never utters a word as he rescues his master from one mishap after another -- but the minute changes in his facial expressions speak volumes.
