Among the pile of animated entries for kids, "Strike" is something of a nugget.

An enjoyable family film, however a muddled plot means the fun goes on a little too long.

Rated: 3/5

A modestly entertaining stop-motion family film with a fuzzily retro homemade aesthetic and a warming gentle Englishness: decent enough, but stretched perilously thin.

Rated: 3/5

Stop-motion comedy is a gold mine of heart and hilarity.

This has apparently been sitting on the shelf since 2018, which is a good place for it.

A cute movie for very young children, filled with lovely attention to detail and terrific voice work from Waterworth, Stott and the cast.

This was a funny and heartfelt stop motion animated adventure. It really picks up a third of the way into the movie when we see the main villain come out of the shadows.

Tiresome and unfunny. Even the worst of the Aardman movies is miles above this rubbish.

It was a joy to watch. This resonated with our whole family! Laugh out loud funny with string family values. The characters were cute, with real depth. The story was very engaging for all ages. I loved the Boss, reminded me of watching Bond films with my father! A superb film for the whole family.

For those of us who are tired of the major studio's cookie-cutter content that plays on predictable story-lines and stereotypical characters, Strike proved to be a great alternative family friendly movie with quirky, eccentric characters that one finds oneself rooting for as the story unfolds. he stop-motion animation and unique characters make for an old-school, home-made feel to it which I found particularly enjoyable in this world of overly-produced CGI-for-the-masses movies .. most refreshing!

Fantastic Film!!!!! Saw this with my two sons, even my wife joined in, and although it looked like it was about soccer, its actually about family! The plot is a classic and oh what an emotional ride for an animated film. Great both the boys and my wife loved it. We laughed and cried together. Lovely family film!
