You know it's good when you nearly throw up from laughing

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2000)

Well, let's face it, chickens made out of plasticine are far more interesting than Tom Cruise climbing a rock any day, and with Chicken Run, I certainly got even more than I'd bargained for.
I have seen 2 very, very funny movies this year - Maybe Baby is one of them, and this is the other. At times I was laughing so hard that I felt sick! OK, so it was a weeny bit cheesy, but it still came off as hilarious because that was the whole idea. I felt that the film was a little slow to begin with, but by the end of the first half an hour things had really picked up and I could not stop laughing.
I think the animation really contributed to the humour - Park & Lord are absolute heroes, the visual gags were hilarious and simply the way the chickens moved had you giggling. All credit to Aardman - this sort of animation, when you know how much work has gone into it, is far more spectacular than any computer generated stuff.
A great film. Go see it. You'll laugh your socks off.
