Peter Lord making miracles. Chicken Run summarized everything Aardman had been doing with humor and joy in his short films, be them Wallace and Gromit’s or others, in an amiable but consistent way. Instead of showing off, sublime animation became physical comedy; the character development, worthy of classic film, only served to improve the connection, and genre is used with care and alteration. Few bodies of work are as coherent and innovative in the same way. JMD
