Truly Dreadful Film
The greatest movie ever made..!
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
What I like about animated films is how film makers insert subtle adult humor that generally sail over kids' heads, the way the old Warner Brothers cartoons used to do with their characters. This one had Lady Totty showing off her melons to Wallace and the Pansy Spray used on Victor was another subtle but humorous touch. Otherwise I'm not what you'd consider an animated film fan, but I'll take one in every now and then, even if I'm way behind the curve by a decade or more like this one. It had it's humorous moments, with nods to other films scattered throughout; the King Kong reference was the most obvious one for this viewer. Even though the title implied a scary character, it didn't appear to be child unfriendly, and I'd say it was fairly entertaining for kids of all ages.
Cracking film! What a film! The film is amazing and funny. Very British. People who can't understand the accent and says its Canadian, are just dumb. Like come on, the film's set in England, does not take a Wallace to figure out where the film is set. Aside from the stupid people who don't know what they are on about. The film is amazing. Watched it for the first time in about 7 years and still laughed at the quirky British jokes. Well done Ardman. I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to see a good British film and not see some Hugh Grant RomCom that's dated so badly its funny. "It's poetry in motion" - Daniel Coombs
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is one of those rare animated films that can be enjoyed and laughed at even by adults. And it's not due to adult" humour but by simply being smart and clever. It's as much a comedy as an animated film.My favourite part was the kid horror, for lack of a better term. The sort of Halloween-ized scary moments" always make me nostalgic for my childhood and this film uses them to good effect. And the clay animation is just adorable. The rabbits particularly are some of the cutest I've ever seen.In many ways this is a film that only the British could make. It creates a quaint little country village where our two main heroes work as pest control. Not being familiar with the original Wallace and Gromit shorts I don't know how accurate the adaptations here are, but nevertheless they are very likable.But what I liked best is that the film didn't try to be too big. Usually films of this type try to add unnecessary character drama or backstories. This plot is not longer than it needs to be, but just right. Overall it is a simple story but there is nothing to complain about in this film.
I watched this movie for maybe 30minutes. Wallace & Gromit were hired by people that had gardens. They had a truck and would capture animals that would ruin people's gardens.They would capture lots of rabbits and them back to their business. There was a built in shoot at in the kitchen like a laundry shoot and they would take rabbits by the bunch and let them slide down the shoot where they all landed and stayed captured. They would dice up lots of carrots and send them down the shoot to feed the rabbit.When things start getting out of hand Wallace starts to experiment how he could brainwash the rabbits into not eating cabbage, carrots and other vegetables. He used an electric helmet attached to his head and put the rabbits in a tube where they get the signals from his brain to theirs.Something went wrong and they changed. At some point I stopped watching because they show a rabbit breaking into a church and breaking the stain glass windows. There was a Cross in the church that ended up on the ground and the minister sees something that scares him and uses two cucumber as a cross to block the scary rabbit and faints.Aardman makes great animation movies and series like Shaun the Sheep. I felt this was insulting so I stopped watching. Humor is good but not when you use religious objects in a offensive way just because it is in a animated movie.
