Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (DVD, 2006, Widescreen)

Wallace and Gromit are great characters, and their humorous friendship remains the same in this film.

The addition of some off-color humor does make it a bit of a disappointment, but for the most part it is still a clean family movie that will have you laughing your head off!! Four stars

Wallace and Gromit and their creator Nick Park need no introduction. With their three shorts 'A grand day out', "The wrong trousers" and "A close shave' they've won hearts of everyone around the globe. With all three films winning countless awards, including 2 oscars, and accolades worldwide, Wallace & Gromit has become a global phenomenon. Not to mention here the rare distinction Nick Park enjoys of being the only animator ever whose 2 films("Creature Comforts" and "A grand day out") were nominated in the same category, same year(1991) for the best short film oscar, so he could take home only one for his groundbreaking masterpiece "Creature Comforts'. With his exceptional talent in the painstaking art of claymation, Nick Park has taken stop motion to newer heights with "Creature Comforts', "Wallace & Gromit' and his first feature film "Chicken Run".

"Wallace & Gromit:Curse of the wererabbit" is the highly anticipated first full length feature involving Wallace and his brainy canine companion Gromit. Its a dream come true for all the fans around the world who have been expecting their favourite characters on silver screen for a long time.

In "Curse of the wererabbit", a vegetable guzzling "monster' is on the verge of spoiling the giant vegetable competition organised by Lady Tottington and only wallace and gromit can save the day now. Nick Park has remained faithful to the characterisations and followed the same trend which w&g is known for. New adventure, few more amazing inventions, more new characters, new circumstances, more suspense but same old British flavour, feel and charm...W&G first feature is surely a winner. Those familiar with "King Kong", "Jaws" and other Hitchcock films will enjoy the spoof and occasional references more!

In the time of CGI and computer graphics, With "Curse of the wererabbit", Nick Park has proved once again that audience respond to things made with heart and soul. This is where Nick Park's clay models and Hayao Miyazaki's hand drawn animation scores way over CGI. "Wallace & Gromit:Curse of the wererabbit" is undoubtedly one of the most heartfelt and charming films ever made.

At first glance, I would have never purchased Wallace & Gromit DVD, however, after receiving it as a birthday gift, my daughter could not stop watching it.

The clay animation is wonderful and it give the movie that added something special. The story line is great, and the characters are all fabulously delighful.
Wallace and Gromit will not disapoint!!

My young children loved the first three Wallace & Gromit movies, which were much shorter than this latest release. We were very excited when this was released in the thater, but halfway through my son was talking nonstop to me as he had totally lost interest and my daughter was asleep. It was very dark throughout the movie and lacking in a lot of the funny things in the earlier movies. If you have children who like Wallace & Gromit, you can skip this.

I don’t typically like these types of movies but I can appreciate the work that goes into them. I have to say I did enjoy this movie in particular. It was funny and even had a little twist in it. It’s good for kids and adults, which is becoming more of an oddity these days. I was hoping for some better extras but it still gets a thumbs up from me.

I hope you like it because I’ve ended up being so-so on the movie. Is it English humour not connecting with an American? I’m not sure why but it never got off the ground for me. The animation was top notch, the story line OK but not stellar, the humour is where it just didn’t have any kick for me. It’s not a bad film, it beats many animated films, and you may love it to death but I have to admit I’ll probably sell my DVD back on ebay. I’ll see it one more time but don’t feel the need to keep it as a must have film.

This movie is great for all ages, especially for young kids and parents to watch together. The movie's main characters are Wallace and his dog, Gromit. Together they have their own humane pest control company, Anti-Pesto. Wallace has created all sorts of inventions. The scenes with his invention to get him to breakfast and his suction machine are the funniest in my opinion. His inventions include a sophisiticated security system to protect his clients vegetables, but can he protect them from the Were Rabbit that has started to damage all their vegetables before the festival. His big rabbit trap, which literally is a giant lady rabbit controlled by Gromit, is one of his attempts to capture it. There are some great twists to this movie that make it interesting all the way to the end. I love this movie not only because it has a good flowing plot and great humor, but also because the clay animation is done extremely well allowing you to realize how much work went into making this full length movie.

We bought this movie after purchasing the after purchasing the first Wallace and Gromit DVD and we love it. Our children (ages 3 & 6) have watched it 10-15 times and it is still one of their favorites; they think they are watching a "scary" movie, even there really is nothing to be scared of! Some of the humor goes right over their heads, (which is good), but it gives the adults watching something to chuckle at without having to explain anything. We also enjoy the British accent and vocabulary. We definitely recommend it!

Looking for movies that you can enjoy with your kids? Look no further! Wallace & Gromit is a fantastic adventure for the entire family! In fact, I would recommend it to you, even if you didn't have kids. If you're familiar with the Wallace & Gromit series, or if you just love subtle British humor, then this film will most likely have a welcome spot on your shelf.

Very easy to deal with, shipped promptly and no damage at all to the item.A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Nick Park is genius, pure and simple...if you don't get a charge out of this DVD then give it up...not to be missed, his best, but I only wish he would get these gems out sooner than every 5 years, sigh. But his next will be worth the wait. Excellent DVD in every way, with tons of extras as entertaining as the movie itself..you will be a Wallace and Gromit fan, no doubt.

Thank you for expediting this order because it came faster that I anticipated. Love the speedy shiping

There is a Behind the sceens section that show how the made the movie - Pretty cool to watch! The characters are made of clay & to make a sceen they have to hand move the characters Bodies & faces ... It really does make you appreciate the movie when you think how much Work went into this process. These are very dedicated filmmakers. My 2 year old saw the preview on another DVD & laughted so hard at it I bought him the movie, Now I watch it!

This movie was brand new as described. It was recieved in a very timely manner. This seller was easy to work with.

I 1st saw this style of semi-animated film in "Chicken Run". I found it amusing with a heartwarming & entertaining story & the hilarious clay figured characters. I wasn't sure I would like anymore of it though until someone lent me a copy of Wererabbit. Having never seen Wallace & Gromit before, I hoped I'd be able to follow it & found this to be wonderfully true! You don't need to have ever seen any other Wallace & Gromit feature to appreciate this film.

Wallace is a rather scatterbrained man who runs his own humane pest control company, but the real brains of the outfit is his silent dog Gromit. There seems to be a minor plague of rabbits invading their town's many vegetable garden right before the harvest fair. This keeps Wallace & Gromit very busy, but they soon find their pens filled with rabbits. Their solution is to try to brainwash Rabbits into disliking vegetables. In a Frankensteinish experiment gone wrong, they create the Wererabbit, a huge monstrous rabbit that goes on a rampage in the town each night. Attempts to capture the beast are useless as Gromit turns super sleuth to try & solve the mystery.

The clay characters are cool, amusing, amazing & fun for young & old alike as is the story line. There are plenty of gags to keep everyone entertained. Some may get a little lost in the "Britishesque" lingo & slang, but it is not too far over the top. Despite the spooky inferences of the title, this is not too scary for even the youngest children to enjoy. A true 'for the whole family' movie that everyone can enjoy!

This was a great movie. The story was wonderfully shown and the rabbits were ADORABLE!!! A children's movie that will make you laugh your socks off!!!
Luv ya

i was looking for a movie for our "movie night" and when i looked on the imdb website, it listed Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit really high. I found a copy off ebay for super cheap and once it came, we were ready!

I loved it! My daughter loved it! A totally cute, funny movie that you can enjoy with the whole family! Just a wee bit of violence that might scare the smallest of kids but my 8yr old loved it.

It's a tale about 2 "exterminators" who humanely dispose of the pests they catch. But they take "humane" to the extreme and adopt all the rabbits they catch! But, what to do with all the rabbits when your house is full of them!! Mix in a little Frankensteins monster and BAM! A hilarious tale!

For those of you that have never heard of this plz do yourself a favor and go to: www.wallaceandgromit.com and just set back and have a smile....!

This was a very entertaining movie. The children and I enjoyed this movie very much. It had alot of movement and action to hold the children's attention. I would recomend this movie to everyone if asked.

My 4 year old loves this movie and it has plenty of clean adult humor to keep the whole family entertained. Excellent art and fun to watch. I have no complaints, more Wallace and Gromit will be on the way to our house soon.

No matter how many times you see this movie, its always as amusing ane entertaining as the first time !

My son loved this movie- the little bunnies were so cute!!! And the music and gadgets were super as usual!!!

Not for younger kids, but their older siblings and parents will enjoy this very creative and fresh movie. Like nothing else. Can just relax and get some laughs. I personally love it and highly recommend.
