This streamer’s hotly-anticipated sequel, which opened the London Film Festival, feels less like a triumph and more like a cock-up
releases a sequel 23 years after the original movie, it’s fair to go in with some skepticism about the project, its intentions, and its quality. Whenwas released in the year 2000, there was a farm fresh feel to it that resonated both with its target audience, but also with any accompanying adults. It was fun and silly, paying homage tovia clay chickens. It captured the imagination with impeccable voice acting, genuine tension, and a litany of riotous gags suited for the whole family.
The same goes for the typically excellent Thandiwe Newton, who replaces Julia Sawalha from the first film seemingly for no other reason than she’s slightly younger. Bella Ramsey does an admirable job at the heart of things, but the lack of chemistry among the voice work holds the film back before it has even begun. Voice acting is an artform in itself, and it isn’t unusual to hear screen actors struggle with the adjustment.
