Movie Reviews:

• talisencrw: A guilty pleasure for me personally, as I love both ‘The Great Escape’ and most of the works I have seen, over the years, from this rightfully-esteemed British animation company. Highly recommended both for children and for adults who enjoy animation.
• Gimly: Made my roommate who hates stop-motion animation watched this in 2018 and even he had a good time. It’s maybe not as great as I remember thinking it was when I was a little kid, but it still holds up to some degree.

  _Final rating:★★★ – I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

• r96sk: A very good stop-motion animation!

  ‘Chicken Run’, which I watched a crap tonne when I was little but not for a vast number of years now, is an impressive production given it came out in 2000. Despite a pretty simple feel to the film, it’s a very well developed concept.

  The, admittedly short, run time truly flies by. Of course everything looks, relatively, terrific, but I’m impressed by the pacing which is clean. As for the cast, Julia Sawalha is the definite standout – she’s fantastic as Ginger. Timothy Spall and Phil Daniels, as rats Nick and Fetcher, are amusing. Mel Gibson (Rocky), though still decent, isn’t actually that good in this.

  A fun and interesting story! Definitely worth seeing if you haven’t already. I’m intrigued to see where they go with the upcoming sequel.
