Movie Review: Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit


Sara and I watched "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" over the weekend. It was a really fun movie. It is one of those movies that kids can watch and love but so can adults. The clay animation is very well done, it is beautiful and smooth, just fantastic and it gives the eyes something new to look at if you are used to hand drawn, or computer animated films. The humor is mixed, with a lot the kids would understand but also quite a bit you would only catch if you are really paying attention. For example Wallace holds a box around his recently unclothed body to cover himself, this is funny for the kids. What you might not notice right away is that the box has a label on it that says "may contain nuts". Small stuff like that really cracked me up. Things like this, as well as the nod's Wallace and Gromit make to other movies such as King Kong, or the old Werewolf movies are what makes the movie really fun to watch. Best of all you feel like you got your moneys worth and you don't feel like you wasted your time or made yourself dumber by having watched the movie.
I give the movie 4 stars out of 5.
Check it out sometime.
