Chicken Run
« on: March 01, 2008, 07:28:23 PM »
I’ve never given this movie consideration because it looks so retarded.  I saw it high up on a list of the top 100 children’s movies and was surprised… because it looks so retarded.  Well, I saw it at the library today; it’s rated G so I checked it out.  I started it for my kids about 20 minutes ago.  

I’m stunned.  This is a stop-motion claymation twist on The Great Escape, with chickens.  The references to The Great Escape are numerous; nearly everything about it is based on WWII POW escape strategies and stories.  Even the main character’s coup is #17.

If you have kids, I recommend it.  If you’ve seen The Great Escape a dozen times, I recommend it.

Same guys who did Wallace & Gromit, right? We loved those as well.

The kids love Wallace and Gromit.  We watched the bunny one (most recent?) and I enjoyed it too.  The amount of work that takes to produce is outstanding.

The bunny vacuum was simply hilarious.

"The Wrong Trousers" is the best W+G. Anything with an evil penguin masquerading as a chicken by putting a rubber glove on his head is golden in my book. :aok

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.
