In a four-star review, NME wrote: “Dawn Of The Nugget might have a bit too much Netflix polish in places, and the spark of the original film doesn’t ever burn as brightly here, but there’s still a lot to love about a family film pitched for the post-Christmas dinner funk that’s all about the horrors of the poultry industry.
“Aardman own this time of year – from endless Wallace & Gromit reruns to 2021’s Robin Robin – and while this is unlikely to be quite as beloved in another generation, it still feels like essential family viewing.”
