Profile of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

The mood of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is witty, humorous, and feel good. The plot centers around pets, an experiment gone awry, and contests and competitions. It features dry humor. It is a comedy, animation, and family movie. In approach, it is not serious and fantastical. It takes place, at least partly, in a small town. It is set in England. The movie is known for being an Oscar winner and critically acclaimed. It is especially suggested for kids and a family outing.

Summary of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Eccentric, cheese-loving English inventor Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his trusted silent canine companion, Gromit, have a thriving business in their garden-destroying varmint-elimination service, named Anti-Pesto. Together they prepare for the upcoming Giant Vegetable Growing contest. Wallace even has a potential paramour in wealthy client Lady Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter), a vegetable enthusiast with a severe rabbit problem. Unfortunately, the tight-coiffed, slick-talking hunter Victor Quartermaine (Ralph Fiennes) also has designs on the lady, and he's not giving up easily. When a giant rabbit terrorizes the townsfolk and begins devouring some prizewinning veggies, another dimension is added to the existing competition between Wallace and Victor, and the outcome will be the talk of the town!

Following up the success of 2000's CHICKEN RUN, master clay animator Nick Park has given Wallace and Gromit--the stars of three celebrated shorts--their own feature, and with thrilling results. The eye-popping animation comes along with appealing character design and beautifully detailed environments, and we are also given an engaging, multi-layered story populated with characters to care about. As with Park's previous successes, the result has a cross-generational appeal that will undoubtedly age in the timeless manner of all great entertainment.

Critics Reviews

Entertainment Weekly
Bestows generous blessings on all that's good in Englishness, in moviedom, and, of course, in cheese.
The New Yorker
What Park has done is resurrect not just the spirit but, as it were, the bodily science of early comedy. Like Chuck Jones, and, further back, like Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd, Park is unafraid of the formulaic--—of bops on the head, of the...

Wallace and Gromit
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit stays true to the Wallace and Gromit mold and works well as a full-length feature. No matter what age you are you will enjoy the simple story, witty jokes and masterful claymation that Wallace and Gromit always delivers.
great British comedy
Wallace and Gromit are well known for their hilariously funny shorties. I was afraid a full feature film might be too much for the characters to carry. I was very glad to be proved otherwise. the film is really witty and provides a lot of laughs....
