Review of Chicken Run (2000) by Andrew K — 30 Mar 2012
From the creators of Wallace & Grommet comes Chicken Run, Dreamworks very first animated film. Although this movie draws heavily upon The Great Escape for the actual story and style (not to mention the score), it still goes out on its own and manages to come up with some interesting ideas.
The comedy itself is very deadpan, with a few visual gags tossed in to change things up. It's also slightly dark in areas for a modern family film, which is a good thing. I have a few problems with it, none that I can mention without spoiling the film, but overall it's pretty entertaining.
It doesn't have a lot of repeatability, but it's very enjoyable for a one-off.
