"Wallace & Gromit" holds their titular title as 'king of claymation' with this outstanding (and funny) adventure animation. Don't hesitate to buy it. It's a definite must-watch.

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

A fun film that will make sure you will have some sort of smile on your face all the way through. enjoy this because it maybe the last of those great animated films made by hand and not some super computer.

The absurd little details that are only onscreen for a second -- like a nasty dog pulling out a dainty beaded change purse mid-way through a fight, or someone reacting to being hit in the face with "pansy spray" -- are what makes this film The absurd little details that are only onscreen for a second -- like a nasty dog pulling out a dainty beaded change purse mid-way through a fight, or someone reacting to being hit in the face with "pansy spray" -- are what makes this film so worthwhile. I also thought the "voice acting" was particularly fine, and really brought the characters to life. As for Jon, who saw this collection of dopey animated clay characters as the low-water mark in society's general degradation... sheesh.… Expand

"Wallace and Gromit" is absolutely delightful. It's a light and funny film that captures and elongates (with pleasing results) the original shorts.

That said, I'm afraid this installment repeats a lot of what used to be fresh, and the whole enterprise feels like its slipping into a formula in which a) Wallace has a love interest, b) there is an enemy dog who harrasses Gromit, and c) Gromit saves the day in a high-speed chase. I'm not anti-formula per se, but too much of this film felt borrowed from its two superior predecessors, right down to the rabbit who utters the non-sequitur "Cracking toast, Gromit!" I had fun watching this, but I felt later as if I'd been laughing at the memories of better installments as much as anything.… Expand

I think some people something funny in a Wallace & Grommit and just think everything that they do is funny. This movie was not funny--not funny for kids, not funny for the adults.

A theatre of kids hardly laughed at it. Even when my kids left Robots, they talked about it. Not this one. The story was second-rate, and the pacing was S-L-O-W. And we did get the attempted British jokes; they just weren't funny. I guess folks are desperate for a good animated film, but this was nothing more than the Johnny English of animation.… Expand

Wallace & Gromit's feature film makes a super family-friendly DVD. While the material defers to monster movies, especially from the Hammer Films genre, it's really a gentle, sweet, and funny film. The previous Aardman feature, Wallace & Gromit's feature film makes a super family-friendly DVD. While the material defers to monster movies, especially from the Hammer Films genre, it's really a gentle, sweet, and funny film. The previous Aardman feature, "Chicken Run" also dealt with serious subject manner in a very light-hearted way, yet Chicken Run seems to be a more dark and (pardon the pun) brooding film than W&G, by comparison. Chicken Run also seems to be technically superior in terms of the animation quality, but there are frequent moments in W&G that really stand out as superaltive artwork. Yet Aardman, like so many other studios, is falling into the cheap lure of 3D computerized animation, so that the obvious and not-so-obvious pixel-pushing special effects actually detract from the joy of the true stop-motion work. Animation (and Aardman) purists might balk at this -- if you are one of these people, beware of the previews on this disk, as Aardman prepares to roll out its first 3D-computer-composited feature film. Ugh. The W&G feature film seems especially tailored to those who have more or less memorized the W&G shorts, as it does get very self-referential, especially when Wallace achieves a most unusual existential crisis in the third act. On the other hand, those of us who are used the the very cozy world of West Wallaby Street, where the only inhabitants are the man, his dog, and the occasional antagonist, may be somewhat unselltled by the addition of several new characters in the film, whocould be seen as diluting the strength of the protagonists. While this may be true, W&G's main engine still has enough steam to more than carry the film past the occasional gag we've seen before, or the intentionally strange English idioms, or even the very brief but noticeable slow patches in the plot line. Films like this don't come along very often, so when they do, you'll want to make sure you see it again and again.… Expand

Any reasonable listing of the greatest silent comic actors in film history would have to include Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd...and Gromit the dog. The four-legged half of Nick Park's justifiably beloved Any reasonable listing of the greatest silent comic actors in film history would have to include Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd...and Gromit the dog. The four-legged half of Nick Park's justifiably beloved plasticine-animated duo Wallace and Gromit , the pooch never speaks, and doesn't even have a visible mouth (we DO see him drinking coffee in one of this film's early scenes)...but he expresses more with just his eyes in 85 minutes than many actors and actresses have been able to do in 40-year-plus careers with their entire bodies AND voices. It's often been said that Gromit is infinitely smarter than his eccentric inventor master, but I see their intellectual relationship a bit differently: Wallace is a big picture man who sees the forest, Gromit a detail guywho's aware of all the trees. As such, they're a perfect team, and don't you wish more corporations (and countries) were as balanced in THEIR leadership? In their first full-length feature (but hopefully not their only one) W & G run a 'humane pest control service' called Anti-Pesto, which attempts to save their small village's annual vegetable competition by capturing the town's lettuce-loving bunny population, then brainwashing them to NOT want to eat their veggies. Delightful complications ensue, with lots of slapstick action to enthrall kids, wonderfully good, bad and so-bad-they're-good puns (check out cheese-phile Wallace's bookshelf!) and parodies of Frankenstein, King Kong and even David Cronenberg's version of The Fly to tickle adults, and plenty of genuine charm and heart to captivate everybody. (Love how most of the bunnies, once captured, become a kind of squeaky Greek chorus to everything that follows.) Nick Park and codirector Steve Box have plenty of what Hollywood filmmakers working both in and out of animation could use a lot more of: pure integrity. Here, as in Park's previous W&G shorts and his equally wonderful Chicken Run, he utterly resists the temptation to Americanize the setting, the language or much of the material to broaden the across-the-pond demographic; consequently, paradoxically and gratifyingly, his creations get the same unwavering devotion from Yanks of all ages as do those other uncompromising British imports, Harry Potter and The Beatles. while it's easy to marvel at the incredibly painstaking hard work involved in adjusting and moving Wallace, Gromit and their supporting cast and world around by hand in every single frame, what really makes Wallace & Gromit: The curse of the Were-Rabbit by far 2005's best animated feature, as well as an all-time classic, is that from every standpoint (especially script), Park and company make it all look and feel so effortless.… Expand

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

I agree that Jon is taking far too much from this movie. Themes of hate, betrayal, and the such have been present in every G rated movie from Bambi and onwards. Without them, how can you have a plot? Unless we make every G rated movie into I agree that Jon is taking far too much from this movie. Themes of hate, betrayal, and the such have been present in every G rated movie from Bambi and onwards. Without them, how can you have a plot? Unless we make every G rated movie into some potty training video with no plot or character development, you're going to have to deal with it. If you're really worried that your child is going to go out and kill a bunny or something, well, I feel sorry for your kid. You must not think highly of them if a movie like this scares you that badly. Anyways, back to reviewing the actual movie. I found it to be a very enjoyable flick. The characterization was quite good and though the movie was geared to kids, it still held a lot of charm to keep me and my friend entertained (we're both 16, in case you wondered). There were a few corny lines due to the fact that it was a kids movie, but the jokes were well done and the plot, though contrived, was still fun to follow. Overall, though it sounds like I should have a few more complaints, I really don't as this was one of the better movies I've seen in a while. The only thing I didn't like is that the computer animation used in the movie served to degrade a bit of the claymation atmosphere that made Wallace and Gromit what it is, but besides that, I have no regrets. That's just my opinion, though, for those for whom this is there first time seeing Wallace and Gromit, I am certain they will be quite pleased.… Expand

A good movie, but a little boring, no good for kids. Keep the same structure of the series that make the movie a TVv commercial.

It has the same likeable characters that some people have grown up with and it is nice to see them on the big screen. Toss in some decent humor and nice animation and you have an entertaining film. If you are fan of the shorts than definitely check this one out. Even if you aren’t that big on it then at least appreciate the fact that a lot of effort went into this film from people who love what they do and care about giving a good show. This is definitely much better than the other film Dreamworks released this year Madagascar and the critics agree since it won Best Animated Film. Nice job Aardman keep up the good work.… Expand

The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is one of those rare animated films that can be enjoyed and laughed at even by adults. And it's not due to „adult" humour but by simply being smart and clever. It's as much a comedy as an animated film.

MyThe Curse of the Were-Rabbit is one of those rare animated films that can be enjoyed and laughed at even by adults. And it's not due to „adult" humour but by simply being smart and clever. It's as much a comedy as an animated film.

My favourite part was the kid horror, for lack of a better term. The sort of Halloween-ized „scary moments" always make me nostalgic for my childhood and this film uses them to good effect. And the clay animation is just adorable. The rabbits particularly are some of the cutest I've ever seen.

In many ways this is a film that only the British could make. It creates a quaint little country village where our two main heroes work as pest control. Not being familiar with the original Wallace and Gromit shorts I don't know how accurate the adaptations here are, but nevertheless they are very likable.

But what I liked best is that the film didn't try to be too big. Usually films of this type try to add unnecessary character drama or backstories. This plot is not longer than it needs to be, but just right. Overall it is a simple story but there is nothing to complain about in this film.… Expand

Also, it's rare to find a film these days where I'm literally splitting my sides all the way through, let alone only the first 30 minutes usually of Hollywood films that call themselves comedies. The writing here is very memorable also. When Hutch mocks WAllace, "He's lost all the bounce out of his bungee"...just hysterical stuff, and the dog chase at the end with the toy airplanes takes me back to the old Peanuts gang with Snoopy playing the red baron.
