Because I heard that the movie was getting rave reviews.

The trailers jumped on the hype of M:I2, calling itself CR:1.
That, along with fancy modern and yet primitive at the same
time, stop animation, with some funny lines made me think
that this was one hot movie.

Slow at times, but my attention was still piqued.

I thought it would be end to end action. But there were a
couple of slow parts throughout which had me almost looking
at my watch. It picks up near the end, as most action movies
usually do, to a wonderful climax.

Pretty darn good. I never knew chickens could be so interesting!

I was actually surprised at the storyline. I went in expecting
cartoony laugh-a-minute-type humour. Little did I know that
there would be a more mature story behind all the animation,
as the quest for freedom carried it through.

Great cast. I never knew chickens could act! Hee-hee!!

For inanimate objects made animate, the characters really
shone through. I was able to discern feelings and emotions
through the faces of these loveable chickens, which subsequently
made me forget that they were nothing but clay. The voices
of each character did a really good job. I do have to say
that the stupid grins of the chickens started to bug me after
a while. Too often, too much.

That was some heavy-duty clay animation. Thumbs and big toes
up!!

Advances in technology have enabled the primitive to look
modern. I was really amazed at the quality of the animation,
expecting some major choppiness as well as unrealistic movement.
Not so. The sounds and soundtrack blended with realistic camera
pans assists the high ranking.

Like I said, the animation contributed a lot to the wow factor.
Peter Lord and Nick Park are one talented pair. Can you imagine
what they could do with Playdo as kids?

Other than the unique animation, not much else to report.
The movie IS about chickens after all.
|

Disney movies are good. But they're not as intelligent as
"Chicken Run."

This has to rank up there. A strong story, excellent animation,
and a really likeable cast puts this in near the tops in its
category.
