A magical new animated film that looks and sounds like no
other.
|
Definitely. We've never seen anything like it before. It's
the most intelligent animated film we've ever come across.
It's hard to believe we're dealing with chickens here!
|
|
One of the movie's charms is the way it lets many of the
characters be true eccentrics.
|
Sad to say, but some of these chickens have may more personality
than most people! The writers did a terrific job of characterizing
these feathered creatures.
|
|
This movie about chickens is more human than many human comedies.
|
No kidding! Some movies that we've seen lately should have
chickens playing the human roles!
|
|
In "Chicken Run," Peter Lord and Nick Park bring a startling
new smoothness and fluid quality to their art.
|
Because of the great animation, you forget that those chickens
are made of mud.
|
|
It's not simply a plot puzzle to be solved with a clever escape at the end.
|
This movie has a good plot and suspense to boot. I never knew chickens could make my heart beat fast…unless they were cooked and smothered with gravy on my plate.
|
|
"Chicken Run" is not only funny and wicked, clever and visually inventive, but…kind and sweet. Tender and touching. It's a movie made by men, not machines, and at the end you don't feel wrung out or manipulated, but cheerful and more hopeful.
|
Ditto.
