Early Man is a rare miskick from Nick Park and Aardman.
The philosophy behind the movie is football and how it was created by some Stone Age people in what is now Manchester.
Now their habitat is threatened by the advanced and gallic Bronze Age people.
Our hero Dug challenges them to a football match. However the Stone Age team do not know the art of football while the Real Bronze are champions.
This is a fun undemanding movie. Nick Park always finds inspirations from other movies or television shows. It ranges from The Flintstones, Escape to Victory to the inane babbling of football commentators. There are plenty of gags including sight gags and many come at you fast.
It is just not as good as some of Park's other output especially the Wallace and Gromit movies. It looks rather earthy with its claymation look. Park's standards are so high that even something that is just good from his leaves you underwhelmed.
