Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Synopsis
Something bunny is going on...
Cheese-loving eccentric Wallace and his cunning canine pal, Gromit, investigate a mystery in Nick Park's animated adventure, in which the lovable inventor and his intrepid pup run a business ridding the town of garden pests. Using only humane methods that turn their home into a halfway house for evicted vermin, the pair stumble upon a mystery involving a voracious vegetarian monster that threatens to ruin the annual veggie-growing contest.

Not as good as I remember, pity they added a touch of King Kong to it because that was utterly idiotic.

It cool if I retroactively pin a review on here two months later? No? Cool, thanks guys!
There are many charming things about Wallace & Gromit in general, regardless of whether we're talking about the feature film or the shorts. The shorts are perhaps a better-consolidated conceptualization of what Wallace and Gromit are about, but the film does not demand that you have any idea the shorts even exist. it unto itself reintroduces and illustrates both the familiar heroes and the unfamiliar townsfolk.
The characters are great, the timing is great, the twists are great- really, this film has nary a hair out of place. The only problem is that by virtue of concept, it can only go so far comically…

Anyone who enjoyed the Wallace and Gromit shorts will enjoy this. Their British sense of humor and timing ... so funny.
Billed as "the world's first vegetarian horror movie," this finds Wallace and Gromit running a pest control service to help the villagers who want to grow prize-winning produce for their annual vegetable competition.
Loaded with ingenious Rube Goldberg inventions, spoofs of old monster movies and classic movies, and their trademark sight gags, this is a treasure for all ages.

The small farming town where this fair story takes place is home to good, peaceful folk, who spend the majority of their time and energy attending to their prize-winning vegetable gardens in preparation for the annual vegetable harvest festival. They are simple people with simple values like hard work, community and being humane to all creatures. Perhaps the same can be said for WALLACE & GROMIT IN THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT creators Steve Box and Nick Park. Years of dedication and attention were required to assemble this first feature for the Academy-Award-winning characters of Wallace and Gromit, and this film highlights similar themes to Park’s previous claymation feature, CHICKEN RUN, like being kind to all the animals. However, choosing all…

As a huge fan of both the infamous character duo and Aardman Animations in general, this is as supremely entertaining the Wallace & Gromit duo can get on the big screen. Through a combination of charm, cuteness, and classic British wit, "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit'' also surprisingly serves as a nostalgic ode to both the fan favorite characters and cinema in general from the past century. Additionally, the attention-to-detail in the claymation is stunning in scenes whether it be the goofy physical features of some of the townspeople, or the setting of the small unnamed English town the movie takes place in. Overall if you're a fan of either the Wallace & Gromit duo, Aardman, or the classic quality of stop-motion animation, give this film a watch and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Probably the weakest Wallace & Gromit material - the stretch to feature-length inevitably takes a toll - but it's still extremely charming, witty and clever stuff.

It was probably 1AM and I had just finished Black Book or Flame & Citron, (I'm pretty sure there were Nazi's) it was a heavy movie and I needed something light thus this movie was chosen. I grew up with Wallace & Gromit and this feature length adventure stays true to form and quirky-light, yet also somehow dark, British humor. I enjoyed watching it in HD and being able to see the fingerprints in the clay, it added a personal touch, claymation is not an easy thing and they put painstaking effort in making this.

I loved this kind of animation when I was younger.

Epic.

Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is the feature-length debut of Nick Park and Aardman Animation's titular man/dog duo who had previously starred in a series of shorts. Park's unique, and distinctly British sense of humour is a mix of Loony Tunes slapstick and Monty Python absurdism, with plenty of vegetable and cheese-related puns for good measure. The film follows a basic mock-horror film plot in which the inventor, Wallace, and his faithful canine companion, Gromit, are tasked by a wealthy local woman with solving her rabbit overpopulation problem humanely, but ultimately must contend with a town out for blood after a series of attacks on their crops by the monstrous Were-Rabbit. The film is a lot of…

An often hilarious film that, even when some of the gags fall flat, had me smiling the whole time because of just how effortlessly charming the whole deal is.

Chock full of excellent sight gags and quirky dialogue.

Wallace and Gromit have set up a pest control company, Anti-Pesto, a humane company with no killing. The village is to have it's annual Giant vegetable competition at Tottington Hall and Anti-Pest are in charge of keeping the vegetables safe. However after a particularly mental idea from Wallace they inadvertently create a giant vegetable eating monster. So naturally it's up to Gromit to save the day...........
It's Walace and Gromit.
And Aardman Animation.
What sort of deviant are you if you don't like it? As it is I liked this quite a bit.
Primarily a horror story it contains all the trademark humour you would expect and some you wouldn't (some quite saucy innuendo was present). Mixes in references to…
