Sheer fun !!!!

Being a "Wallace & Gromit"-adept I just couldn't wait for CR to arrive at our Dutch theaters. And it was, I'm happy to say, well worth the wait.
The only problem is the way they treat this gem over here. Why do they always seem to think "Animation is for kids only" ?
They had the film dubbed by some lousy dutch soap-actors, coz 4-year olds can't read subtitles. OK, fair enough. But why do they show this version in the Big theatres and the original one only in the small ones ?? And why is it, that the promotion is almost entirely focused on kids ??
To give you another example: I recently watched the morning cartoons on a local TV-station which had a "Ren & Stimpy"-episode featuring Stimpy producing a large amount of hairballs and eventually he's throwing up his own guts. Now that's what I call quite heavy stuff you don't show kids at 9:30 AM !!! But it's animation, so it's kids stuff.
Anyway,
If you're an adult and not prejudiced regarding animation-films, go see The Chicken Run !!! The original version, that is.
