"What Kind of Pies?"

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2000)

A "Looney Tunes" short from Warners golden era stretched out to feature length. Not quite as good as it has been made out to be, but still funny, involving, and smart. Intelligent silliness for kids as well as adults. The painstaking claymation makes for some fascinating visuals. At times "Chicken Run" Resembles a three dimensional cartoon. The clay gives characters and sets a solid, "real" look that is almost never achieved by traditional cel animation or CGI. I've never had the slightest interest in any of the"Wallace and Gromit" shorts, but now I'm thinking I may have missed out.
