Amazon.co.uk Review

An American box office hit; a raging success in Britain; critically acclaimed and lauded as one of the finest movies of 2005. It is testament to the sheer genius of Aardman Animations that not even that little lot can capture the sheer majesty of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit.

As is always the case with the infamous plasticine duo, the beauty is in the details. The nuances of Gromit’s facial expressions raise chuckles all by themselves, while the silky-smooth stop motion animation and the clever, witty script complete a slick and accomplished package.

But perhaps more than anything, this is a wildly entertaining movie which will be enjoyed and appreciated by the whole family. In an era where special effects and huge budgets dominate, it’s taken a long-in-gestation labour of love from a small British studio to once again show a brighter way forward. And whether you're hooked by its moments of brilliant ingenuity, its warm characters or simply its clever, laugh-out-loud humour, you’re still likely to join the queue the next time the plasticine duo venture into the world of movies. An unmissable treat.--Simon Brew

5.0 out of 5 stars We need more stars, Gromit, 17 Jan 2006
By John Ault (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
  
Five stars are just not enough for this brilliant film. It captures all the charm of the simpler short films, and builds on a feature length plot and a multitude of wonderful creatures and characters. The bunnies are cute, the Ralf Fiennes character just made me weep with laughter. The vicar and the townsfolk are all little gems of their own.

The detail of this film is just incredible. Walace’s wacky inventions, the hall and its roof-top conservatory, and so on throughout the film. There is always something to catch the eye, and something to make you laugh. Gromit is one of the great comic characters of any age of movies. Simple humour, of gesture and timing.

My four year old loved it, my six year old loved it. I’m going to watch this DVD over and over and still get real pleasure for years to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Welcome Back, W & G!, 24 Jan 2006
By Coincidence Vs Fate (Warwickshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Firstly I'll point out that for me, W&G's crowning glory is The Wrong Trousers and always will be.

I did wonder if the format would work, W&G on screen for longer than 30 minutes, but I needn't have worried. This is a great film that people of all ages will enjoy. My wife and myself were howling with laughter with the rest of the audience in the cinema and I won't hesitate to buy this DVD when it's realeased.

Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inventive, hugely enjoyable family entertainment, 10 Feb 2006
By russell clarke "stipesdoppleganger" (halifax, west yorks) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
You really must have your sense of humour removed in some foul ceremony involving pentagrams , disconcertingly smelly smoke and lots of gibberish chanting not to find Wallace and Gromit funny. Gromit, the canine Jeeves to Wallace’s affable but bumbling Wooster, facial expressions are a comic joy all on their own. They achieve more with the painstaking stop motion method than some sentient actors have achieved in long illustrious careers.
This first full length feature for the cheese loving duo after the classic shorts sees Wallace (Still voiced by Peter Sallis) and Gromit, s latest venture called “Anti-Pesto” which will remove voracious rabbits from gardens without the animals coming to any harm. Wallace hordes all the captured rabbits in his basement, a great device for more comical facial mugging from the captured bunnies. With the towns prestigious vegetable competition at hand they are on heightened alert. Which is just as well for suddenly the locality is beset by a monstrous beast which devours everything green it can get it’s gnashers on. Wallace in his ever optimistic but not fully equated with all the facts way insists “Anti-Pesto” will capture the creature but local braggart Victor Quartermaine ( Ralph Fiennes) says the thing is a Were-Rabbit-a bunny equivalent of a Werewolf-and capture is impossible. There is added frisson between Quartermaine and Wallace as they both covet the winsome Lady Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter).
As is usual with the productions with involving Nick Park (He co-directs with Steve Box) the attention to detail is exquisite with lots of sight gags involving signs and background facets. The film sends up old black and white monster movies a treat even down to the pitchfork wielding mob while managing to pay homage to “King Kong” and chucking about more puns than a queue of camp comedians.
It’s constantly amusing, sometimes exciting and hugely entertaining without ever resorting to profanity, sourness or satire which oddly enough are the things I normally find enjoyable. Cracking inventive entertainment, as I believe Wallace might say. If you don’t agree, you really should join the Conservative party, if you haven’t already.
