Now I know what Nick Parks has been workin' on!

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2001)

I have been a fan of Nick Parks since I saw Wallace and Gromit in "The Wrong Trousers". I was watching "Road to El Dorado", when I though out loud to my friend, "I wonder what Nick Parks has been doing, I haven't seen a new Wallace and Gromit in a while."
Then, lo and behold, the "Chicken Run" Trailer came on!
Personally, I love this movie. I think it really show what a hand animator can do without the use of a lot of CG effects.
The story isn't timeless, but it's a fun romp. I love the scenes that borrow from some of the old movies, like "The Great Escape", "Stalag 17", and even "Raiders of the Lost Ark"
I've always loved animaton of all kinds, be it claymation or Japanese Animation. Chicken Run is possisbly one of the best, funniest, and well though out movies in animation history.
It's a definite must-see for animation, and Wallace and Gromit Fans alike.
Now... I wonder when the Wallace and Gromit movie will be out? :)
