Review of Chicken Run (2000)

A fun film featuring many well-known British voices. And I seem to recall an obscure American in the line up as well (just kidding, Mel).

I'm a big fan of Nick Park's work as I've always been in stop-motion animation. It has a realistic feel that Pixar-style animation has only been able to simulate in the last few years because it's so computationally demanding. I recommend the DVD because it includes a decent length "making-of" featurette which shows the amazing amount of skill, patience and time that went into making this film and into Park's subsequent effort Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

Recommended for children aged 8 to 80.
