Early Man

PG cert, 89min When a rag-tag Stone Age tribe are shooed from their valley by Bronze Age invaders, they vow to win back their home in a high-stakes football match – because, this being an Aardman Animations film, that’s exactly how it works. The stop-motion studio’s imagination does feel ever-soslightly hemmed in by the underdog sports plot, but the film’s craftsmanship is dazzling, its doughy beauty moreish, its sense of fun enormous. RC
