“Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” Movie

Yesterday I saw the movie “Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit”, which featured the voices of: Peter Sallis, Helena Bonham-Carter, Ralph Fiennes, John Thomson and Peter Kay.

The storyline involved the following: “With only days away to the annual competition at Tottington Hall, and rabbits running wild, business at Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and Gromit's Anti-Pesto pest control is booming. Animal lover, Lady Tottington (voiced by Helena Bonham Carter), who hosts the yearly competition, calls Wallace and Gromit to her home to rid the grounds of the vegetable-eating rabbits, but as compassionately as possible. Of course, Victor Quartermaine (voiced by Ralph Fiennes), the town's hunter and wooer of Lady Tottington, would just like to shoot all the rabbits but that's not Totti's way. So, armed with their Bun Vac 6000, capturing bunnies at 145 RPM's (that's rabbits per minute), Anti-Pesto humanely rids the town of the produce-destroying rodents, while storing them safely in Wallace's basement. But when one of Wallace's inventions to cure the rabbits of their eating habits goes horribly wrong, the town is faced with an oversized vegetable eating Were-Rabbit. He comes alive with the moon, has teeth the size of axe blades, and may be the end to the towns beloved competition. It's up to Wallace--or more to the point, Gromit--to save the contest and capture the beast.”

I give the movie a “B+”, and the movie is worth the price of an admission ticket, a large popcorn and a medium soft drink. The animated film was fun to watch, and the animation was excellent.
