Excellent! But a G rating? More like a PG.

Rating: Null/10 (2 February 2002)

This was a GREAT piece by claymation-animator Nick Park, creator of the award winning "Wallace and Gromit" shorts. Park's feature length movie debut chronicles a group of chickens who scheme to escape from their cage after discovering that the farmer has purchased a chicken pot pie machine.

I must be the first to admit, however, that the G rating should have been a PG - not to be prudent, but there are many elements in the film - language, themes, etc. - that would have raised it to a PG. ("Creature Comforts", although accessible, is clearly not an all-ages film either.)
Hilarious, amusing, the animals/people never sung (which was good), a splendid cast of voices including Mel Gibson, Julia Sawalha ("Absolutely Fabulous") Timothy Spall (Mike Leigh films) and Natasha Richardson as Mrs. Tweedy, the villainous farmer.
