(Archive) Animated movie of the day: Chicken Run (2000)

Originally posted: January 17th, 2022 I can't believe we haven't even mentioned Aardman Animations when we have talked about stop motion. Compared to studios like Laika, which specialize in using puppets with rubber skin, Aardman's silly charm comes from their masterful use of plasticine and clay, which give the characters a higher level of maleability that shines the most in the facial expressions. Add to that a healthy dose of sardonic humor with a tint of black comedy and you get a very distinctively british flavor.

Given that the project started as a spoof of "The Great Escape", the premise is already on the tongue and cheek side. The execution, however, is arguably darker than one would expect. For a film that is still marketed for children the narrative is a lot more serious than it would look like at first glance, dealing with topics like suppression of free will, ||suicide||, complacency(which would be deadly in this case), transparency, along with many others, on top of having imagery that alludes directly to one of the most horrifying atrocities in human history(yes, I'm talking about ||the Holocaust||). And this is not even talking about Mrs. Tweedy. Who would've thought a farm owner could be so intimidating?

So yeah, the backbone of this movie is surprisingly grim, and many readings could be made of it. But you know? Despite having some serious themes and dark undertones, the movie is still hysterical. I mean, it's a group of chickens trying to escape a farm through increasingly ludicrous means. The movie will take every chance to make obvious, not so obvious and fairly esoteric jokes with this idea. And EVERYONE in the cast will be the butt of the joke at some point or another, including the surprisingly dignified lead Ginger. And his dumbass american cowboy parody of an eventual boyfriend(did I mention this film is british?).

For such a silly premise gone serious then silly again, it's pleasingly a VERY full experience.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (PG): Aardman does Mission Impossible.

#onemannsmovies #filmreview of "#ChickenRun: Dawn of the Nugget" on #netflix. Fun animated capers that make for a good family film. 3.5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget” (2023). Regular followers of this blog should know that stop-motion animation is not an art-form that I particularly appreciate. No, that’s not fair. I do APPRECIATE it, for being a painstaking technical process that creates an impressive moving image on the screen. But I find it difficult to get deeply involved in these types of…

'Over the Hedge' – animated animals take on suburbia on Netflix

It’s nature versus prefab culture in Over the Hedge (2006), the animated adaptation of the Michael Fry and T Lewis newspaper comic strip of woodland buddies confronting the foibles of 21st century life and the absurdities of suburbia. A wound up Bruce Willis voices the streetwise raccoon RJ, whose schemes collide with the implacable caution of Vern the turtle (Garry Shandling), the paternal…

The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)

The general tone of The Spiderwick Chronicles and an admittedly unnecessary scene of griffin-ridding make it clear it was made to capitalize on the Harry Potter craze. Call it an imitator if you want but this is great family entertainment, the kind I could see children cherishing for years.

Following his parents’ divorce, Jared (Freddie Highmore), his twin brother Simon (also Highmore), their older sister Mallory (Sarah Bolger) with into a new home with their mother Helen (Mary-Louise Parker). In it, Jared finds an old book which reveals a hidden world of magical creatures all around us: goblins, hobgoblins, fairies, brownies, boggarts and more. The book's re-emergence also draws out the shapeshifting ogre Mulgarath (Nick Nolte), who seeks its power and knowledge.

If you didn’t know any better, you’d swear Freddie Highmore has a twin brother, so good is he in the dual role. It isn’t merely that he’s able to convincingly play his parts when acting against green-screens or computer-generated characters, it’s that he creates two distinct people so convincingly you’re sold on everything happening around him, no matter how fantastical. You kind of give children’s films the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the performances but this is superb stuff. In no time at all you're all in with this story.

The Spiderwick Chronicles can get a little frightening. Nick Nolte on a normal day looks menacing and when surrounded with sharp-toothed goblins, little kids may find this picture too intense. Rather than turn children away, however, I think this will make them appreciate it all the more. How many of your favourite childhood movies featured death, monsters or peril from which - at the time - you didn’t think the heroes could escape from? Adults like horror films and I think deep down children do too… as long as it isn’t too extreme. Director Mark Waters finds the right balance. There’s tension and intense scenes but it’s softened with plenty of humour and much wonder. The creatures Jared learns about in the book? They’re all really cool while also remaining faithful to the legends of old.

The best way to describe this family adventure is “fun”. The kids get to be the stars and tackle a big threat but a quality screenplay by Karey Kirkpatrick, David Berenbaum and John Sayles makes everything feel right. The special effects are great and the characters surprisingly well-developed. The children in this film are not simply precocious little creatures, they’re real human beings with flaws… who are also capable of change. There’s a subplot about the children’s father who I think will strike a cord with many audience members. The way it ties into the film’s overall theme of divulging information or holding it back is excellent but subtle. Well done!

I couldn’t tell you why The Spiderwick Chronicles was only a moderate box-office success. Track it down and show it to your nieces and nephews, or if you’re old enough, watch it with your kids. It’s an overlooked gem for the whole family. (On DVD, February 1, 2019)

Has access to streaming all kinds of stuff she's never seen before.

...Instead rewatches the magnificent Malitda (1996) starring the sensational Mara Wilson that Danny Devito directed. Based off of the Roald Dahl book of the same name. Screenplay by Nicholas Kazan and Robin Swicord.

Interestingly, another Dahl adaptation came out that very year. A hybrid of live action with stop-motion animation flick of Dahl's James and the Giant Peach by Disney from director Henry Selick. Screenplay by Karey Kirkpatrick, Johnathan Roberts, and Steve Bloom.
