Not that impressed

Rating: 7/10 (26 January 2001)

I'm in awe of Nick Park. Creature Comforts, Wallace and Gromit, those are masterpieces. So I had high hopes for this movie. But when I saw how hard Dreamworks was selling this movie (Ralphs tie-ins, etc), I began to have my doubts. And they were well justified. Chicken Run is the longer, duller, less clever version of A Close Shave. Sorry, but this movie is a yawner. Still, it's worth watching for the plasticene artistry.
