A Glowing, Shining, Golden Egg of a Movie!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2000)

Every once in a while a movie comes along and changes the perception of what movies can do. I NEVER thought that a feature-length claymation movie about chickens would work as well as it does here. Laughter composed of little children and adults punctuated this movie's soundtrack throughout the screening I went to. This movie is one of those few ones that seems to be written for both children and adults (like a TOY STORY) and boy does it work! And the nice "thank you's" to earlier films such as RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and THE GREAT ESCAPE were extremely welcome.
