Lisa Schwarzbaum

Bestows generous blessings on all that's good in Englishness, in moviedom, and, of course, in cheese. Read full review

Shawn Levy

It has the feel of something slaved over lovingly in merry isolation, and it is virtually the only thing I've seen this year that conveys in the viewing the obvious enjoyment its makers had in whipping it up. Read full review

William Arnold

So devoid of the usual coarse Hollywood calculation that it plays like a breath of fresh air. Read full review

Ty Burr

Even more than "Chicken Run," Were-Rabbit is a tiny plasticine masterpiece. Read full review

Ed Park

This latest and biggest installment is a whimsical success of a very high order: The pace never lags, the invention is incessant, and it makes you want to have a bite of cheese afterward. Read full review

Ella Taylor

Who could resist a movie in which a garden gnome holds the front line in high-tech home security? Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Eminently worth seeing, even if it leaves you wishing it were as consistently inventive as Aardman's first feature, "Chicken Run" (2000). Read full review

I had the incredible privilege of visiting the set of this film while it was being shot. The magnificence of the finished article owes no small debt to the immaculate attention to detail and love furnished on every tiny detail of the production. Tottington Hall was fully furnished and I had the incredible privilege of visiting the set of this film while it was being shot. The magnificence of the finished article owes no small debt to the immaculate attention to detail and love furnished on every tiny detail of the production. Tottington Hall was fully furnished and finished - even the bits that we can't see and every item of fruit, cheese and other articles that appeared in the fairground exquisitely made. Nick Park lavished as much care on the props as Peter Jackson did in Lord of the Rings - only in miniature. Without a doubt a masterpiece and one of the greatest animations of all time.… Expand

Hilarious!! Great animation! Loved the story and how they incorporated lots of old movies and ideas. Liked the Fokker Dr. 1 and Sopwith Camel dogfight at the end!

All around funny movie with very cool animation and fast paced.I also loved how the expressions on different characters faces were presented through animation which is a very difficult task.

I took my 3 yr old to this movie. I had already taught him to say 'Come along Gromit, we have windows to wash!' in Wallace-speak. I have been a long time fan of the shorts. We went with high expectations. I believe if this was filmed with live actors it would have received an R I took my 3 yr old to this movie. I had already taught him to say 'Come along Gromit, we have windows to wash!' in Wallace-speak. I have been a long time fan of the shorts. We went with high expectations. I believe if this was filmed with live actors it would have received an R rating. Themes of hate, betrayal, classist division and murder run through this offensive animation. This is 'Family/Kids'? How do I explain that the bunnies are crying because they think Wallace is dead? Killing bunnies does seem an appropriate theme for a kid movie. One of the main characters is driven by hate, guns, killing and murder. That the system wrote, approved and filmed this, then marketed it to families is considered state of the art is a telling factor in the degradation of this society.… Expand
