Chickens are on the move
Review of Chicken Run (Animated) (Wide Screen) by Morven

Advantages: Different way of creating a film without usage of animation or actual people. Had a ot of British people dong the voice's for the films and is perfect of everyone to watch!
Disadvantages: There are no disadvantages that I can think of

...Chicken Run the movie is for the young and old and I would be shocked if anyone could say anything different! The characters are memorable, not to mention extremly funny! The DVD was easy to use, it was the first DVD that my family had bought and were glad it was simple to use. The whole family watched the movie and laughed at all of the jokes that were made, including Rockey's "Freedom!" cry. This was incrediable to hear as most adults won't make as much as a giggle to such a film, most people laugh at jokes that have swear words or even sexual refrences, this film has none. A film like this is worth to watch with friends and family, its a very chirpy film and should be watched when you feel happy.... Read review

Advantages: Great battle scenes, and Introduction to a grand war machine. Touching scenes
Disadvantages: None

The Story as it continues introduces to the audience the newests adaption of the X-series Gundams, Freedom and Independence made by PLANT (New Humans government), both gundams have a great advantage since they harness Nuclear power therefore do not run out of power and need to recharge like normal Mobile Suits. Kira and Asuran become Involved in ORB's Ideologoy and begins to fight along side one another in a neutral side, trying to end the wall between the united earth federation army and PLANT. Due to the UEF become desperate they force all Neutral countries... Read review
