Wallace and Gromit – The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (you know, like werewolf if you missed that like us). It’s a “G” rated claymation film from the creators of the movie “Chicken Run”. Although the film includes unregulated scientific experimentation, premeditated murder, and 20 seconds of dialogue that would be considered soft porn out of context… it’s actually very kid friendly.
In the story, Wallace and his faithful dog Gromit try to protect their little English town’s vegetables from being eaten by bunny rabbits before the much anticipated Giant vegetable contest. Determined not to harm the bunnies and eager to impress Lady Tottington (his love interest), Wallace tests one of his inventions that is supposed to brainwash bunnies into hating vegetables. This leads to confrontations with a jealous boyfriend and the dreaded Were-Rabbit which throws the town into a frenzy. During their escapades to save the town, the story plays out with scenes borrowed from Frankenstein, The Werewolf, and even King Kong all combined.
The animation in this movie is pretty cool, but – as it turns out – bad teeth and English accents are annoying even on clay puppets. On top of that, the story is full of painfully slow dialogue and a very predictable ending. If you’re looking for something to do with the kids and have run out of other options, they’ll enjoy seeing this movie with you. But, you can expect that your only entertainment will be watching your kids have fun. Unlike classics such as “Monster’s Inc”, “Finding Nemo”, and even “Chicken Run”, there’s nothing here for the adult. So, if you’re over the age of 10 and aren’t entertaining children, you should NEVER EVER see this movie.

On the Movie Night Traffic Light on a scale of GREEN meaning “Go – it’s a must see”, YELLOW meaning “Caution – it’s okay” and RED meaning “No - stop don’t do it."
We rate Wallace and Gromit YELLOW. Caution – kids will think this is okay, but adults won't like it. |
