I love Aardvark Animations but I felt that this one let the side down
somewhat; perhaps because of its budget. The title suggests prehistoric man and
dinosaurs; but the whole space-time continuum is altered slightly when we find
that it’s about a game of football and not a mammoth hunt as it suggests earlier.
Did they run out of money to make plasticine dinosaurs? And why do the Bronze
age characters have this annoying Gaelic accent? Do they not like the French in
Bristol? We went to see this show on a mid-afternoon; something that we don’t
normally do but I had the day off work and there weren’t any evening shows.
This meant cheap tickets but I had to put the effort in to avoid the parking
charge. But what confused me most of all were the pensioners. Normally you’d
expect them; but this was a kids’ film. Yet somehow it did feel like a cinema
as people were laughing in all the right places. But I couldn’t wait to get out
and was annoyed that I’d paid to see this; especially when I found out that one
of the companies behind it was Amazon Prime Video; so I’d probably be able to
watch it three months later for free.
