Chickens Can Run
I love the stop motion animation. It is perfect, its excellent and phenomenal. Chicken Run was Aardman Animations' first feature-length production, which would be executive produced by Jake Eberts. Nick Park and Peter Lord, who run Aardman, directed the film. The movie is a loose parody of the film The Great Escape.

The plot: Award-winning DreamWorks animation from the Aardman team, telling the story of a band of chickens doomed to a life of egg-laying on a Yorkshire chicken farm. When a flamboyant American rooster arrives on the scene, the hens hope he can teach them to fly to freedom. However, when a chicken-pie making machine is installed, their need becomes urgent and they must devise other means of escape.

Its a excellent film. It has humor, adventure, darkness and most of all chickens. Lots of them. A must see if you haven't already.

Movie Favorite

"That’s one of my favorites. That one is on my list, too. When I saw it, it just blew me away completely. I saw it when I was quite young, and I remember thinking, “My god, are these really actors? Could a movie be done this way?” It was something I’d never seen before, and it was so brutal and so real; just like watching a documentary. Those kinds of filmmakers and actors kind of opened up things in me that gave me hope and inspired me. I felt less lonely in a way, because I thought, “Okay, there’s people out there exploring things that I would like to do.” People who were not afraid of darkness; people who were not afraid of going into things that were not charming and easy and, you know, sweet and cute. That one made a very strong impression on me."

Still unsatisfying
This second London-based book sees Howard and Hubcap on their way into London. They stumble across a strange scene at a supermarket and find themselves the hostages of a private army of a post-apocalyptic drug dealer, whose experiments are going wrong more by the day.
The book was as short as the others but again had next to no real plot or purpose, other than people getting in a situation and getting out of it again. We do start to see some of the New World Order type rich people running the world, post-Change, which is built on in later books, but again there is no real insight into the world, the change, Howard's background or where his dreams suggest he has to go. I hope the final, Tokyo-based book closes this all off or I will be a little miffed.
