    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Wallace and Gromit are in at least one of the crowd shots. Nick Park hadn't been aware that the animators had done this until post-production.
    • Goofs
      Lord Nooth wants to remove Goona from the field for being a girl, despite the team of primitives already consisting of several women. What he should have done is remove her for not being a primitive at all, since the match was supposed to be Real Bronzio vs the primitives.
    • Quotes

      Villager: Sliced bread? That's the best thing since... well, ever!

    • Crazy credits
      Towards the end of the credits, the two dinosaurs from the opening sequence are shown labeled as "Ray" and "Harry" in tribute to Ray Harryhausen.

    It's ok
    Not one of Aardman's best, but watchable and has some funny jokes. It starts out really promising, but by the end is hugely predictable and simply turns into a by the numbers "underdog wins the day" type sports comedy (albeit with Claymation). Previous ones of their films have remained fresh until the end, but this starts to drag a bit once it becomes obvious how the plot's going to play out
