Overwiew :Wallace and Gromit are cashing in with their humane pest-control outfit, 'Anti-Pesto.' With only days to go before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, business is booming, but Wallace & Gromit are finding out that running a 'humane' pest control outfit has its drawbacks as their West Wallaby Street home fills to the brim with captive rabbits. Suddenly, a huge, mysterious, veg-ravaging 'beast' begins attacking the town's sacred vegetable plots at night, and the competition hostess, Lady Tottington, commissions Anti-Pesto to catch it and save the day. Lying in wait, however, is Lady Tottington's snobby suitor, Victor Quartermaine, who'd rather shoot the beast and secure the position of local hero - not to mention Lady Tottingon's hand in marriage. With the fate of the competition in the balance, Lady Tottington is eventually forced to allow Victor to hunt down the vegetable chomping marauder. Little does she know that Victor's real intent could have dire consequences for her...and Wallace & Gromit.
www.filmcritic.com - : There are roughly 255 solid laughs in the full-length animated feature Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Not that I counted each one, but the movie runs 85 minutes and feels like it crams at least three great gags into every 60-second span. You’ll need observant eyes, or multiple viewings, to catch each witty aside weaved through the assorted scenes. more...
www.eonline.com - : Meet Hollywood's new power couple: a little clay man and his loyal pooch. Director Nick Park's claymated characters make the first Wallace & Gromit feature-length flick about as delightful as a piece of family entertainment can be. Hapless inventor Wallace and his silent yet infinitely wiser dog, Gromit, have a successful, unbearably cute business keeping rabbits out of the town's gardens. That is until the dreaded Were-Rabbit arrives just in time to disrupt the annual giant vegetable competition. Park fertilizes his creation with pleasant puns, nonstop visual gags and layered jokes that are funny to kids and sophisticated enough for adults, which makes Wallace & Gromit a rarity: a film touted as fun for all ages that actually is. more...
metromix.chicagotribune.com - : Most of us come from common clay. Wallace & Gromit do not. The jolly inventor with the sausage-shaped smile and his patient, silent yet wondrously expressive dog are the stuff of uncommon clay, the synthetic material known as Plasticine, of which two of modern cinema's loveliest comic creations are molded. more...
