This is Aardman's best film since Chicken Run. It might even be better, since there is no intelligible dialogue. Tons of sight gags, ranging from juvenile (pantomime horse fart jokes) to ones that mostly adults will get (the prison jokes in the jail, I mean animal containment unit). The staring dog wrecked me. Every. Single. Time. But there's also a plot with emotional arcs and everything.

Nice Ferris Bueller joke at the end, too.

Not written or directed by Nick Park or Peter Lord, which shows that they have a deep bench.
