Michael's Movie Grade: B+
Review: Excellent film, that may be predictable story wise, but is more than fun enough to make up for that.
This film creates a very likable and world. The atmosphere is quite engaging and beautifully detailed. The amount of work used on the look of this film is more than worth it. The sets are incredible to look at and the character animation is very expressive. The characters themselves are quite likable. You truly relate to them and root for the protagonists as if they were real people. However the best thing about this movie is the humor. There are many moments here that are laugh out loud hilarious. The jokes may not come as fast as they do in many other animated comedies, but this does not make them any less funny. The slower pace may even be part of the movies charm, as it gives the movie a very relaxed feel. This laid backed relaxed feeling is too rare in many modern comedies, making this film a delightful departure. Most of all this movie is just full of charm.
This movie does have a problem though and that is that the story is overly predictable at times. It is true everything that happens story wise is something movie lovers have seen quite a few times before. There is little story wise, you will not see coming here. However the movie's simply charm manages to easily overcome this fault and leave us with an excellent movie that will delight my fellow fans of Aardman animation.
