Still a lot better than the sequel that appeared just recently, but not quite as good as I remembered it to be. The premise is fun, copying the structure of a prison camp movie and moving it to a chicken coop, but some of the jokes were a little tired, and despite the edgier start, the rest of the film is quite a bit softer than I remembered. The animation is lovely, the camera work in particular is often spectacular, but the art style feels a little unadventurous. The pacing is slick, the runtime perfect, and the plot is fun. It's just that Lord & Park appeared limited by their PG-appropriate approach. I wish the film had been a little darker, it would've added to the long-term appeal. Still, a nice movie for everyone who loves stop-motion.Read all
