Cons: Animation a little more choppy than subsequent movies in the series
Summary: After seeing a million claymation Chevron commercials, I was at first reluctant to embrace the feature-length film, "Chicken Run." As is par for the course for me, I didn't want to give up my preconceived notions that the movie would be clunky, ... read more

Pros: Funny, non-violent, kids will love it, adults will like the subtle humor
Cons: Good but not great like the other two videos in the series
Summary: Even if it wasn't hands down the best claymation I've ever seen, Nick Park's witty sense of humor and his ability to come up with off-beat scenarios that somehow seem to just fit is pure magic.
This was the first of a series of three videos by ... read more
