Movie Review: Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)

[Dave Gray]

Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)

Premise: A pest-control team attempts to curb the appetites of problematic bunnies with mind-control.  Instead, they create a beast that threatens to ruin the upcoming vegetable festival.

Rating: Very Good.

This is claymation style.  It's very funny, and would be a great watch for any age.  I laughed at it, and so would anyone else, from 2 to 92.  As far as movies appropriate for kids, there are few that are good enough for adults to enjoy as well, but this is one.

I took my son to see this and he had the time of his life.  This movie was done by the same people who made Madagascar.  Great movie for children.

I love Wallace & Gromit...and saw a very cool showtime special on the making of this stop-frame claymation juggernaut. This gets 4 stars from me!

It's a good flick - my 3 year old's current favorite.  "Bunnies! Let's watch bunnies!"

Gromit, much like Silent Bob in the Loser and Silent Bob movies, steals the show.

no it wasn't.

you're thinking of Chicken Run

[YoFuggedaboutit]

no it wasn't.

Then why would they have a Madagascar clip playing before the movie starts.

because they are both distributed by the same company...none of the cast or crew who made the movies is the same.

example: if i make a movie and you make a movie, and both are bought by sony for distribution, sony is going to advertise mine before yours and vice versa, in order to sell more copies of both...but our movies weren't made by the same person.

OK.  I understand.  But I knew they had to have some common ground.

Just got finished watching this and all I can say is Eh.. I thought it was way too kiddie for me. It wasn't bad, but nothing really made me laugh and I think the whole claymation thing is dated looking. But this is a great kids movie and I'm sure I would have liked it better when I was 12.

I was really looking forward to this movie.  It was the featured film on a flight to the UK.  I had been upgraded from business to first class.  I'm living large and life is great, but the movie wasn't.  It wasn't terrible, but it didn't wow me.
