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

Wallace and Gromit are clay-motion characters who, whether you realize it or not, have been with us for nearly 20 years now. However, since most of their appearances have been on British TV, you may not be familiar with them. However, you might know of their, shall we say...American counterpart...in the movie called "Chicken Run" (done in same style by same creator)

Wallace and Gromit are, basically, a man and his dog. That simple. It's not like Snoopy or Family Guy...the dog does not talk. Sure, he acts more like a person than a dog, but he communicates mainly by facial expressions that you will find utterly hilarious. Wallace (the man) is an inventor, and in this movie he runs a humane pest disposal service (dealing mostly in rabbits). Gromit is his co-worker.

You could call "Curse of the Were-Rabbit" a family-rated horror movie. Delightful for all ages, I found not inly the story to be engaging, and the voice work to be spot-on, but I was just amazed to watch the visuals...the ever so intricate and detailed animation all done with modelling clay. No bad language, no sex, no violence...yes, this movie is 'safe'. Though I really liked the movie, I found it was a bit too long for me...and about 3/4 of the way through I was a bit restless.

The extras that came with the DVD were almost more amazing than the movie itself! I love "extras" and this movie had them in spades! Commentaries, games, activities, behind the scenes, explanations of how they do the clay-work...extremely fascinating stuff!

If you like clay-mation movies, or kids movies, or kid-friendly horror/suspense movies, or British movies, or comedies...then you will probably like this movie too.

Very funny movie, humor is subtle but hysterical. Nice family movie that everyone including parents can enjoy. Animation is excellent and superbly done.

Great clay-mation movie.
My two year old ask to eat vegetables since seeing it!
Lots of sub plots for the older crowd watching it for the 20th time.

This is a fun-loving movie! I love Gromit and all of Wallace's "gadgets." I bought the movie for my adult son for one of his birthday gifts. I thought he would enjoy watching it at the end of a stress-filled day!

A friend introduced me to Wallace & Gromit years ago, and since then I have waited for another release featuring them. "Curse Of The Were-Rabbit" is a fantastic addition to their collection. First-rate animation as well as a wonderful story; action, intrigue,& humor; (British humor is awesome!)This is a 9.9 out of 10, IMO.

With such an irresistable title I had to see the film as soon as it came out. This led to a "have got to get the DVD" moment after the showing.

What's not to love about the charming, loopy, and sweet world of cheese-loving Wallace and his oh-so-stalwart dog, Gromit. In this incarnation the inventor and man-of-all-trades Wallace, is the successful proprietor of "Anti-Pesto," a humane pest removal service. The residents of his village rely on the pair's services as they fanatically tend their gardens in hopes of winning the annual veggie prize given by the daffy Lady Tottington (voiced by Helena Bonham Carter).

Never one to shy away from a wild contraption, Wallace has invented the Bun-Vac 6000 that sucks up the offending bunnies harmlessly and earns the patronage of animal lover Lady Tottington. In the process Wallace and Gromit incur the wrath of zealous hunter Victor Quartermaine, Lady Tottington's suitor, who is voiced to the hilt by Ralph Fiennes with madcap relish.

I'll let you discover Wallace & Gromit's wild journey to deal with the dreaded monster Were-Rabbit who ravenously terrorizes the neighborhood and threatens the upcoming vegatable competition. Even more, you can marvel how Gromit, a clay-mation dog who can't talk, can convey thousands of emotions with a furrowed brow and a large pair of paws.

The world of Wallace & Gromit embodies an innocence and belief in old-time virtues that usually seems attainable only in nostalgia and yet is quite at home here. The loyal and true Gromit always has Wallace's back and his quick-thinking bravery manages to pull Wallace out of one scrape after another.

The special features on the DVD give some informative and interesting insights on the collaborative and creative process that goes into such a large-scale clay-mation feature. Check out "How to Build a Bunny" to get step-by-step instructions on clay bunny making.

Enjoy this animated delight with kids or on your own, but be sure to bring out a bowl of veggies and a plate of cheese and crackers. Whatever latent vegetarian tendancies you have will awaken by the end of the movie.

GREAT GOOD LINES AND KEEPS YOU INTERESTED OUR GRANDAUGHTER LOVED IT SHE IS NINE YEARS OLD ,SHE WATCHED THE WHOLE MOVIE. GREAT BUY

I love the characters in this film. The seller offered a new copy for $4.99 and how could I pass that up? It arrived well packaged and in record time. My regular video store wouldn't sell a copy of a new release at the time I bought it on eBay. Shipping costs were minimal, so the total price was less than what I would have paid anywhere but on eBay. We have watched the DVD several times and I consider the money very well spent for the pleasure we derived from the purchase.

my son loves this movie and i just refuse to pay $20 at Best Buy!!!
this will go in his easter basket and he is going to be so excited!
i can't say enough about the shipping costs. i have bought a lot of stuff
off of ebay lately and this is by far, in my opinion, the best shipping
charge ever. why does it cost $6.95 to ship a t-shirt and that same amount
to ship 3 movies??? i don't know, but i will be back soon!!
thank you!

Could not watch the movie, due to the disc skipping!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this movie because I have a three year old son,(as if that does'nt say enough) I was tired of watching the same movie over and over again,and was not haveing any luck finding this movie in any of the thrift shops and pawn shops. I got this movie for a great price and the shipping was very fast, the dvd also looked new from the store ,with no scratch's on it. My youngest son thanks you, the only thing now, is that he thinks a cool new movie will come out of the mail box every day. Kids, gotta love'em.. Thank you again,and keep up the good work.

It is the dumbest movie I have ever seen, but my son, who is a 6 year autistic boy loves it. He acts out all the scenes and it's adorable. For that alone I am glad I bought it. It does have alot of adult humor, but even my 12 year old didn't catch on.

I read the title of this movie and thought NO way ! Then i seen others had gave the movie good reviews, i thought why not give it a try. So glad we did ! Our entire family really likes this movie. I think our 2-10 yr olds have watched it 50 times. It turns out to be a really cute movie for all ages. The clay work is amazing.

I bought Wallace & Gromit for my husband, turns out the grandkids love it more. The movie is clean and kid friendly. There's absolutely nothing that i dislike about the movie. Hope to find many more on ebay. Anne

I always love seeing the inventive-ness of the Wallace & Gromit movies, from their interesting and quirky machines, to the ways in which clay is manipulated to add to the theatricality of it all. This movie is part horror and part mystery while still maintaining a friendly feel. The characters of Wallace and his partner Gromit are well thought-out and what also makes this movie great is the extreme attention to detail that the claymation artists have put into their work.

My son really enjoyed this Dvd. Great entertainment for kid's of all age's. I would give this movie 4 out of 5 star's, according to my 8 year old.

This is great movie, my 2 year old was mesmerized the whole time and has watched it over and over. It is also entertaining for adults! *****

Another instant CLASSIC from Nick Park. Comedy on multiple levels
and all FAMILY FRENDLY. If you have kids or are still a kid at heart
this DVD is for you.
