A Funny Family Football Film!

5 stars

06 Feb 2018

I love Aardmann films like Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep so I was really looking forward to Early Man, I was so right to look forward to it because it was out of this world!

You'll never guess how this film says football was created. Dug and his early man tribe get kicked of their valley by Lord Nooth. They have to play a very unfair game of football to try and win it back. They need a little help because they've never played before but they have hope because their ancestors did. Would you play football to get your home back?

The Annoying Message Bird who kept disturbing Lord Nooth was my favourite character because it was hilarious and I liked Dug because he kept on encouraging his tribe.

I liked the song, "good day" because it was catchy and just right for a happy scene.

The animation was amazing with all sorts of cool stuff how do they get stop motion characters to do an overhead kick? How do they get cave pictures to float in the air? I can't think of the words to describe how good Aardmann are.

I recommend this film to all of the family; babies to elderlies!
