On Two-Disc DVD Set On October 6 From Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
CENTURY CITY, Calif. - No villain is safe from the kung-fu capers of three crime-fighting chickens when "Chop Socky Chooks" Volume One attacks on DVD October 6 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Sporting a unique moniker derived from the slang terms chop-socky, for an Asian martial arts film genre and chook, for how Australians sometimes refer to chicken, the Chop Socky Chooks are a crack team of kung-fu chickens who battle their evil arch-nemesis, Dr. Wasabi - a mutant piranha - and attempt to foil his diabolical plots to become a one-man global superpower. Whether they're fighting against bonsai shrink rays or deadly karaoke zombies, The Chop Socky Chooks - philosophical Chuckie Chan, streetwise KO Joe and enigmatic Chick P - always maintain their action hero cool. Aardman Animations Ltd., the team behind Chicken Run and the beloved Wallace & Gromit, utilize the latest in high-tech designs and 3-D models to bring a full range of motion and expression to "Chop Socky Chooks," resulting in stylized animation that complements the classic charm and quirky comedy of the series. Containing 13 episodes that originally aired in the U.S. on Cartoon Network, "Chop Socky Chooks" Volume One will be available for the suggested retail price of $19.98 U.S / $21.98 Canada. Prebook is September 9.
