It's Okay

Rating: 6/10 (7 August 2019)

I like Dreamsworks and the work they did with Aardman Animation. "Flushed Away" is one of my favorite kids films, and a movie I grew up watching non-stop. And "Wallace and Gromitt: Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is another personal favorite. However, out of the three films they worked on together, "Chicken Run" is my least favorite.
It's not a bad movie (read the headline). It's just that my opinion, this would have benefitted from being shorter. Like a fifteen minute short or something. And along with that, this film uses way too many cliches, such as the liar revealed.
But along with the criticisms, there's a lot to enjoy. I think the villain is a lot of fun, the animation is great, and it's just a fun film. But to me, it just feels like this movie had no reason to be as long it was, let alone be a theatrical release. I think the movie has too much filler, and skretches out it's simple story too long.
"Chicken Run" is a good movie. I enjoy watching it, and despite it's problems, it's still a film I can watch many times. It's a fun little movie, and it's okay.
