Dawn of the Nugget is a return to form for Aardman, at least on the animation department. Though there are a few CGI touches, most of the movie is in their classical stop motion, which is rather pleasant to see especially given a certain company decided to forsake traditional animation styles.
Storywise, however, it suffers. It is essentially the plot of the DTV Little Mermaid sequel, with a few twists. At least the dub I watched had most of the original cast return, so that degree of reverence saves the film.
Also, there are numerous background jokes peppered in, which make this film rewatcheable.
Overall, not as good as the original and with less of a political commentary, but not bad either.
