The characters Sully and Boo bring the story to life through the display of affection scenes. Boo wreaking havoc is sure to have people chuckling. This movie is rated G.
Chicken Run (2000)
The adults are sure to enjoy this movie since it has puns galore, "It’s raining hen," that can be translated back to everyday use.
