When the local Annual Giant Vegetable Competition is in peril due to an infestation of rabbits eating all the entrants's wares, Wallace & Gromit step up to save the day with their humane "Anti-Pesto" business. The only problem is they've ended up with thousands of rabbits and no way to get rid of them without killing them - which they are loath to do. So Wallace invents a way to brainwash them into disliking vegetables, but the scheme backfires on him, monstrously! This is the story behind "Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Ware-Rabbit" and here's what I think of this cracking new adventure. Wallace & Gromit aren't ...  Read the complete review

I recently treated myself to a DVD. Being an adult in my mid-thirties, I obviously went for something for my age group – Wallace and Gromit – The Curse of the Were-rabbit. Family films are actually my favourites and I was really looking forward to seeing this one. Oh yes, and I knew the kids would like it too ;-) I bought the two-disc set from Amazon for £13.79.

From "A Grand Day Out" (1989) to "The Wrong Trousers" (1993), the cheese-loving inventor and his faithful hound have built a franchise that has won audiences over around the globe. I went along on ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room Nick Park shot to fame with his brilliant shorts for Wallace and Gromit, such as The Wrong Trousers. The tale of an elderly man and his dog was sweet, and had a very unique animated style that combined slapstick physical comedy with some clever gags and one-liners. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is their first full-length feature film outing, and although I don't love it as much as most people, I must confess that it has a very enchanting quality, and I was ultimately won over by the tone and cleverness therein. With a Giant Vegetable Competition looming in town, all of those growing their ...  Read the complete review
