Park, Lord and screenwriter Karey Kirkpatrick stocked Chicken Run with a cross section of Brit types: Bunty (Imelda Staunton) is bossy; silly Babs (Jane Horrocks, who played Bubble on Ab Fab) is forever knitting--when she gets morose, she knits a noose. Mac (Lynn Ferguson) is the nearsighted soul of Scottish ingenuity. Fowler (Benjamin Whitrow), a crusty veteran of the RAF, says Yanks can't be trusted: "always late for every war." The hens' lines to the outside world are Nick (Timothy Spall) and Fetcher (Phil Daniels), two music-hall Cockney rats--larcenists with a soft streak...

Wolf is delightfully disdainful of getting an ear kiss from the narc's free-love wife: "And that ear thing. I have Q-Tips, thank you." Olyphant is also an accomplished hunk. In fact, why not round up the entire...

...Beatles, at whose Abbey Road Studios part of this album was recorded. The smattering of horns and strings on "River of Orchids," the jaunty marching-band parade style on "Frivolous Tonight" and the gorgeously acoustic "Knights in White Karma" all bring to mind various eras of the Fab Four's musical evolution.
