Predictable, but good fun for children and adults

Rating: 7/10 (20 February 2013)

I was searching around for something to watch on a vacation afternoon with my pre-teen and this was one of the few movies that we thought wouldn't bore us both (the last time we watched Madagascar 3, which was a laugh riot).
Disney animation this is not - it's "Wallace and Grommit" style stop- motion throughout, which can lead to some hilarious effects with splattered eggs, turnips, and gravy. If you've ever watched any World War II POW movies, you'll appreciate all the references here: the POW huts, the British accents, the over-bearing ex-RAF rooster, the solitary confinement, and even the Great Escape references. All good fun for the adult watching.
It's not a "split your sides laughing" movie, but if you like Wallace and Grommit you'll enjoy this as change of pace from standard animation.
