What, what!
~ Fowler's catchphrase.
The old bird bought it! Hahahahaha!
~ Fowler's most famous quote.
Chocks away!
~ Fowler's slogan.

Fowler is the tritagonist in Aardman's Chicken Run film series.

He's the only rooster in Ginger's team before Rocky's arrival. He is the short-tempered member of the Royal Air Force (RAF). He is the "kapo" of Tweedy's Chicken Farm.

He is voiced by the late Benjamin Whitrow in the first film, and voiced by David Bradley in the sequel.

Personality[]

Fowler is the firm but fair cock of the walk. He enjoys reminiscing of his days in the RAF. He is a wise, tough-as-nails, knowledgeable, old rooster, who maintains order and discipline in the coop. He is also fatherly toward Ginger.

He is stern, assertive, cantankerous, and a little rough around the edges, but genuinely cares about his charge, and has a good heart, though it is hidden under his bad breath, bloodshot eyes, and generally gruff exterior.

When Fowler first met Rocky, he showed a high level of jingoism and called Rocky a "yank". He especially hated having to share his bunk with him, a feeling that Rocky shared. But after Rocky saved Ginger from the pie machine, Fowler started to respect him and even let him take the entire bunk.

Ginger entrusted Fowler to fly the plane that took the Chickens out of the farm. Fowler was initially reluctant, but upon encouragement from Ginger and Bunty, he agreed. Everyone has assumed he was a pilot, when he was simply a mascot.

Trivia[]

  • Before Rocky agreed to teach Ginger how to fly so he can hide from the Tweedys (despite he's also disabled to fly himself), he asks if her "Father is by any chance a vulture", he thinks Fowler is really Ginger's father which is why he calls him pops. yet later on Rocky see this elderly rooster as his mentor.
  • Danny DeVito, John Goodman, Billy Crystal, the late Robin Williams, Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Antonio Banderas and Don Johnson were all considered to the role of Fowler before the late Benjamin Whitrow was selected, and David Bradley in the sequel.
