Hühnerhase und der Hamster der Finsternis

Fun & humorous ride that's filled with of homages to Indiana Jones, Angry Bird, Lion King, Empire Strikes Back. Look closely and you'll also catch some Easter eggs.

What's good about it is that, despite borrowing 'ideas' from above movies, it does create original characters that get you invested. Especially Abe, the perpetually pessimistic turtle who views circumstances through the empty half section of the glass. But boy oh boy, does his wise cracks provide a big chunk of the laughs!

My gripe is the central, but ever recurring theme among animations, of self - discovery, i.e. The journey of chickenhare who discovers that he's, 'different' from others. Why do animations keep using this theme? It's has become annoying. For all of its ingenuity and smartness at weaving a story with the homages, chickenhare doesn't hesitate to use this plot device. And that to me, keeps it from at least an 8.

Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness is a 2022 computer-animated adventure comedy film produced by nWave Pictures and directed by Ben Stassen and Benjamin Mousquet 🐰

It's good 🙂 I'd recommend it if you like this genre 👍🏼

I loved the turtle.

The movie never takes itself too serious on its premise, and it knows its not a pixar or ghibli film, but it brings an adventure packed story with stellar animation that keeps you engaged from start to end.

The characters are lovable the acting is phenomenal and the story is very solid.

It does rely on many of the ussual tropes and while I DESPISE fart jokes , in this case they managed to bring it in at a level I can withstand and even take as vital part of one of the characters back stories and an essential part of their character.

Overall this is not going to move you like Disney or Pixar but it is an extremely fun adventure story that will leave you wanting for more.

Heres to hoping for Chicken Hare II.

Our family had a good time watching this movie in the cinema. It has a good pacing, the animation is technically great, the scenery and the characters are well designed, there is a lot to see here.

Storywise, this adventure movie does not explore new territory. Not a problem for the kids, but the lack of surprises is a downside. On the other hand, it is enjoyable for the parents to list all the famous movies this movie borrows scenes from (including all the musical references).

This film is straightforward fun, and can be considered as a good introduction for the kids to the old classics we love so much.

The animation is very well done, it's funny, the characters are charming and the plot is very interesting. It's a fun movie for the whole family to watch.
