I'm halfway done working on my next big "all voice lines from a certain character" video, but I wanted to make something extra until then, because it's going to be a LONG while. Meanwhile, enjoy everyone's favorite farmer; Mr. Tweedy.
Love the irony at how dumb Mr. Tweedy is, but is aware of the chickens' schemes, whereas Mrs. Tweedy is intelligent, but ignorant of what the chickens are doing...
Intelligence can also branch into arrogance, certainly the case with Mrs tweedy, she probably is just assuming that the chickens are too dumb to think of an escape plan, and her husband is just being plain paranoid.
@@kysmith5541 When he said "[they're] revolting", he meant that they're "turning" or "rising against". But revolting has another meaning: "repulsive" or "vile", and this is what Mrs. Tweedie was referring to when she said she agreed. How he phrased it was perfect for the misinterpretation and set Mrs. Tweedie up for that hilariously golden one-liner.
I've always thought Mr. Tweedy is a bit misunderstood. Yeah he is evil, but only because he's being controlled and manipulated by his abusive wife. Notice how he doesn't *really* know what he's doing half the time.
He asked before he even started building and Mrs Tweedy was being cryptic, so it's pretty clear that Mr Tweedy never knew what he's building, but did it anyway.
@@phillipwalling7470 literally a giant chamber labelled gravy and slot's labelled meat and vegetables and he still believed it was fir apple pie Ya hes kinda dense
4:25 is a bit cute in a way. She's completely evil and abusive, but once she sees a future that isn't in poverty she actually has a small romantic streak left in her. It makes you remember that there had to be something there for the two to get married in the first place. Also, I just really feel sorry for Mr. Tweedy. All he wanted was to be a simple egg farmer like his ancestors, and in the end his wife took control of everything and cost him his business, his finances, and his home.
Mr. Tweedy is a classic case of the lesser of the two evils being overly punished, so it actually makes him somewhat sympathetic. And it's satisfying when the roles are reversed between them by the end.
On the one hand, he does eat chickens. On the other, it's a children's movie and we're not supposed to think about the weird implications too much. He's a nice bloke.
One thing about this guy is he outsmarts most of the plans they attempted, even if he got tackled by 50 hens and gets tied up, it didn't even stop him, he still claps it, well it would be a clutching fail for the chickens if it wasn't for Rocky, but still, he was underestimated
“Why you thieving little buggers!” I laughed so hard at that line as a kid, not to mention I was quite shocked hearing a swear word in a children’s movie. Still made me laugh but.
In the upcoming sequel I hope he doesn't return because a. We avoid further fanservice b. His voice actor sadly passed away and due respect I would avoid a recast c. If you show me that he and Mrs Tweedy divorced, it's better because it teaches that it's possible to get rid of toxic relationships
Mr. Tweedy is the central antagonist of Chicken Run because he seems to have inherited the farm from his parents before he married Mrs. Tweedy and it’s bit of a stretch for Mrs. Tweedy to be considered Ginger’s arch-enemy (she didn’t know Ginger was sentient until the climax, if anything Mr. Tweedy was the one who had a more personal beef with Ginger).
Even though Mr. Tweedy was bad not really evil, I feel sorry for him because the way his wife treats him. He tried to be nice and lovely to her but I'm glad he slammed that door on Mrs. Tweedy! She was crazy!
He’s a farmer but he ain’t evil, he could have made his chickens battery (locked in non walking cages) but his chickens are free range. He’s misled by his wife who’s interested in money. So he does have some moral compass.
My cannon afterwards, he writes a kids book about chickens always trying to escape their evil owners. Then said book becomes a hit, and he makes a huge amount of money from it.
The only time Ms. Tweedy showed Mr. Tweedy affection was a pat on the butt. Which is usually a way to hurry or beckon someone. So even when she's showing "compassion" she's still somewhat very domineering about it.
Mr Tweedy is my favourite character of the movie. A cutie and misunderstood man who deserved much better 😢❤ Good thing he and his ex divorced. He was pretty much trapped in the farm just like the chicken. Even his home became his own prison without noticing. A victim of a clear abusive relationship people used to laugh at only because he's a man (if he was a woman, people could had riot). He also was a victim. I honestly hope he's doing better and surely starting a new life an an apple farmer
Poor Mr Tweedy, he only wanted to be loved by his wife and live a normal life, he didn’t deserve the cruel punishments Mrs Tweedy inflicted on him. He only did what he did to prove himself to his wife, and he loved her despite her not loving him back. Mrs Tweedy is a complete monster. In the sequel she is even worse, she didn’t treat Dr Fry (her 2nd husband) any better than Mr Tweedy. And she was literally willing to kill and brainwash innocent chickens and enjoys it.
I personally feel sorry for him, I mean yes he was by all means cruel to the chickens but it was because he wanted to please his abusive wife and to not disappoint or look bad in front of her. (And possibly a way to have some control in his life) He constantly gets gaslighted and verbally to physically abused, Sure there was one scene his wife showed flirty affection but that was only one instance. Mrs Tweedy treats him like an idiot and a goon to command, Not respecting or treating him like a husband in the slightest. Overall, He has an very toxic abusive relationship with his Wife and he has been controlled by her since they married. (SPOILERS FOR CHICKEN RUN 2) And also the fact I believe Mrs Tweedy divorced him and went off to marry a scientist geek to finally becoming successful and rich, I can't imagine just how Willard felt and struggling to get over his previous broken marriage. I honestly hope for the best for him and he would become a better person, Yes it could take a long process to recover and some life reflections to get him there but nonetheless I hope he finds some redemption.
I like to think that after the events of Chicken Run, he scraped together what little money he had left and bought an orchard. There he lived out the rest of his days with the two dogs, eventually becoming famous around the county for Mr. Tweedy’s Homemade Apple Pies.
It would be awesome to see Mr Tweedy in The Chicken Run sequel as a supporting protagonist or one of the main protagontists it would be awesome seeing a good side to Mr Tweedy especially his dogs.
When 6-year-old me first watched Chicken Run, I was gobsmacked at Mr. Tweedy saying, "You thieving little buggers!" I was young and innocent back then.
Poor… worthless… nothings! But all that’s about to change. This will take Tweedy’s Farm out of the Dark Ages and into full scale automated production. Melisha Tweedy will be poor no longer.
I love this film And most claymation films They are so much better then CGI as a lot more work goes into them as a few seconds of the film properly takes a day or two to do
0:30 Mr. Tweedy: Ohh! [Chuckles] I don't know, love, I-- 0:45 Mr. Tweedy: I'll teach you to make a fool out of me. 0:50 Mr. Tweedy: [spoke crossly to the chickens] Now let that be a lesson to the lot of ya!

@@Pubsy3D Yeah, I'm fine it's just that Mrs.Tweedy never her ex-husband has apple pie, aka his favorite, and reason he was abused by her as a punching bag
