Mrs Tweedy

Melisha Tweedy, better known as Mrs. Tweedy, is the main antagonist of the DreamWorks/Aardman's animated Chicken Run film franchise, serving as the main antagonist of DreamWorks Animation's 4th full-length animated feature film and Aardman Animations and Pathe's first animated feature film Chicken Run and its 2023 Netflix sequel Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. Mrs. Tweedy is an exceptionally cruel farmer that will stop at nothing to make money by killing the chickens and making them into pies, running a "farm" that is more akin to a death-camp. She is voiced by Miranda Richardson. Mrs. Tweedy is a tall, lanky middle-aged woman with a pale skin-tone. Her eyes appear half-lidded; giving off a menacing look, while also wearing powder-blue eye shadow. She has long, black hair pulled back into a tight bun at the top of her head. She wears a long, vintage maroon-coloured dress patterned with white chicken footprints, with a small black brooch on her collar. Her dress sleeves are rolled up to her elbow. She is seen with black muck boots most of the time. In Dawn of the Nugget, her outfit changes from the original film. She now wears a plum purple long-sleeved dress with a swan-neck collar, short black gloves with small openings, black leggings, and plum purple knee-length boots with small black heels and soles. She also has her hair in a high bun held by a plum purple hairband as well as bright sky blue eyeshadow and thicker eyelashes. Her hair is also darker, so she probably dyed it to hide her grey hairs and maintain her beauty. Her teeth now have a yellow tint to them, likely due to age. Despite being involved in the pie explosion, she looks unscarred. In the United Kingdom in the 1950's, a hen named Ginger makes several unsuccessful attempts for her and her fellow chickens to escape from Mrs. Tweedy's farm. As it turns out, Mrs. Tweedy runs the farm like a concentration camp, forcing the chickens to lay eggs to sell for profit and slaughtering who fail lay eggs
