Early Man plays gloriously fast and loose with history and evolution whilst incorporating Nick Park's love of football to create another odd but very good-natured Aardman feature. The stop-motion animation is now so slick that it is sometimes easy to forget the physical hours and hard work that went into the film, and the scale of action is also bigger than the studio's earlier efforts. The Stone Age characters are endearingly dopey, the voice cast is strong, and the script is full of the trademark bad puns and very British humour that is expected. Early Man is not quite up there with Aardman's very best, but it is cosy, warm and well-crafted entertainment.
