Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [2005] (Dreamworks Home Entertainment - 2006-02-20) 2 Discs (81 minutes) Region: 2 - Parental Guidance Starring: Peter Sallis, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Peter Kay, Nicholas Smith. Usually dispatched within 24 hours Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [2005]: A decade after their last hilarious short, the Oscar-winning A Close Shave, Claymation wonders Wallace and Gromit return for a full-length adventure. Daffy scientist Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his heroic dog Gromit are doing well with their business, Anti-Pesto, a varmint-hunting outfit designed to keep their English town safe from rabbits chomping on prized vegetables. Wallace meets Lady Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter), who appreciates Wallace's humane way of dealing with rabbits (courtesy of the Bun-Vac 6000), and sets up a rivalry with the gun-toting Victor Quartermaine (Ralph Fiennes, enjoying himself more than ever). Creator Nick Park, with co-director/writer Steve Box, delivers a story worthy of the 85-minute running time, although it stretches the act a bit; the formula plays better shorter, but the literally hand-crafted film is a joy to watch. Taking a chapter from classic horror films, a giant were-rabbit is soon on the prowl, and the town is up in arms, what with the annual vegetable contest close at hand. (Anyone who's seen the previous three shorts knows who saves the day.) Never content to do something simply when the extravagant will do, W&G's lives are filled with whimsical Rude Goldberg-style devices, and the opening number showcasing their alarm system is pure Aardman Animation at its finest. Even though there's a new twist here--a few mild sight gags aimed at adults--this G-rated film will delight young and old alike as Park, like team Pixar, seems incapable of making anything but an outstanding film. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com Customer Reviews (Average 5.0 from 74) : Very funny again Rating:5 Just like it's a similar kind of style, but that dosn't make it bad. It makes it very very funny. The animation as and the story is funny and probably the best doulbe act of the age. If you watched Wallace and Gromit before or other aardman programmes/films etc you know what you get and thats lots of fun for familys, children and adults alike. A must buy. excellent Rating:5 fast delivery and the dvd was perfect, totaly mint condition, my little boy loved it. It arrive, but too late. Rating:3 I ordered this DVD to use in a lesson I was teaching. I ordered it a week in advance and it arrived 3 days after the day I needed it. No idea why it should take so long. What a dissapointment! on-time delivery's Rating:4 It was ok to order the item, as I was assured that it would arrive on-time. The Best Wallace and Gromit Film EVER!!!!! Rating:5 I'm a huge fan of Wallace and Gromit and this film is the greatest. I have loved this film has soon has I saw this in Cinemas and I think everyone will love this film. Wallace and Gromit are pest control workers who try to stop rabbits from munching up vegabtables. The characthers in this are great, Gromit has always does great silent acting and I think the Dogfight scene was genious. Great film for adults more then kids, since the humour in this is hilarious. |
