Aardman founders Peter Lord and David Sproxton are reportedly producing, the tentatively titled Chicken Run 2, with StudioCanal developing and Dreamworks distributing.
The original Chicken Run saw a group of chickens attempt to escape a Yorkshire poultry farm.
Eighteen years ago, Chicken Run reached cinemas, impressing children and quickly becoming the most successful stop-motion movie of all time.
With the world aping for shots of nostalgia, news has emerged that Aardman Animations are officially working on a sequel to the Mel Gibson and Miranda Richardson comedy.
