A well made, decent sequel and I've always been a sucker for Aardman animation style however perhaps a tad ... underwhelming plot-wise but I think that children (whether or not they've seen the original) will thoroughly enjoy this film. The animation side here is clearer and more crisp in comparison to some of Aardman's earlier projects; you could previously feel the clay as the characters move but here it's all a lot cleaner, but I do believe that that was one of the reasons why stop motion animation was so popular: familiarity. Like I mentioned, the plot felt a little thin, perhaps a little rushed. I did found it difficult to get over Thandie Newton as the new voice of Ginger as I feel as though she lacks a certain... normalcy to her. Nothing against Thandie Newton, but I just left that Ginger in the previous film felt a like bit more grounded, even amongst the mayhem of Tweedy's Farm (it's quite difficult to describe).
The addition of little young Molly was a inclusion, it makes the story more relatable to children, especially since we have our young chick following in her mother's footsteps and leading a new whole scale revolution.
