A Great Work!!

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2000)

I admit, I didn't know what to expect when I first saw this movie. I heard of Wallace and Grommit but I didn't know if these kind of movies were just for kids. They aren't. The humor in Chicken Run is based around young children but contains many references mostly older kids and parents will enjoy. Such as the elaborate references to Star Trek and Indiana Jones. The animation is spectacular. They managed to show more emotions and depth will claymation characters than most movies. The jokes, while simple and silly physical humor most of the time, were delivered just right so that you had to laugh. The creativity with the camera-work shows that the animators really put their hearts into this. Personally, this has been a bad year for movies; especially comedies where I've yet to see anything remotely original or unique. This is everything I've been looking for; and that probably goes for most others.
