This year's Toy Story 2

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2000)

Last year, Toy Story 2 was robbed of a Best Picture nomination because it was a so called "children's film." What Toy Story 2 was, was the best written, and one of the most entertaining movie of the year, who cares if it also happened to be rated G? The same goes for Chicken Run, sure it may be an animated (claymation) film, but it's just plain entertaining and fun. And sure they're hoping a lot of kids will go see it, but you can bet those references to The Great Escape, Stalag 17, and even Die Hard weren't put in there for the kids! All in all, I can only hope that Chicken Run is destined for Toy Story-like box office and respect, instead of Iron Giant-like hollow victory.
