The Film: Set in Yorkshire in the ‘50s, this Aardman claymation was originally called A Few Good Hen.
It translates the plot of The Great Escape to the lives of chickens, where the inhabitants of a chicken coup on Tweedy farm hatch a desperate scheme to get out before they’re made into pies.
The Role: Voicing Rocky Rhodes, the rooster. Literally crash landing into the coup, Rocky is an arrogant, swaggering American who might hold the key to the hens’ escape.
The Threads: We don’t know what he wore in the recording studio, but Rocky doesn’t wear very much at all.

"this dystopian nightmare figures the MFP (Main Force Patrol) into a post-apocalyptic world" Can you figure something into something? I'm not sure that makes any sense. And I think Max does have a last name. Hang on. Yup. He does. Christ, all you had to do was Google Mad Max. Nice work, Josh.

Shouldn't that be "access to the film in Indonesia"?

Personally, I think "emblazons" works a little better than "emboldens" in this context.

It's "coop", not "coup". Unless you were going for a devastatingly subtle play on words. That would have been reasonably clever. Judging from the savaging you've given the English language in the previous frames, though, I'm guessing not.

"Max (he doesn’t have a last name) doesn’t say much." have you even seen the film? he gets called Rotoanski more than Max in it? and the still you have is well known as being a promo for Mad Max 2.

Hmm, yes. See, with Max I went with the credits on the first flick, which didn't list a surname for our hero. If it's good enough for George Miller, it's good enough for me. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079501/ As for the Max 2 still, obvious guff. Just loved the picture too much.
