DVD Reviews of Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (Full Screen Edition)
DVD Review: Lovely Family Picture: Adventures, Humor and the Cleverest Dog in the World
Summary: 5 Stars
There are three studios that keep making brilliant animations with originality; they are Pixar, Ghibli, and Aardman. Aardman's first feature film of lovable Wallace and Gromit clay characters, though it is not perfect to be sure, would not disappoint the faithful fans of the studio and the new audiences alike. Who can hate them Wallace and Gromit?
As the title suggests, the film is part homage to Universal horror pictures, but the film's essence -- playful actions and good-natured, amiable characters of inventor Wallace and his canine sidekick Gromit - are kept intact. Now Wallace invents (as usual) another ingenious machine to catch the rabbits like vacuum cleaner.
Don't ask me how or why, for Wallace invents things, and he just does it. It is sheer delight to watch how his newly-made rabbit catcher named "Anti-Pestro" works. Yes, it really works, and according to the rules of the W&G universe, his unique but silly invention is the cue to another unbelievable adventure for the duo. And his faithful dog Gromit is always there, offering timely help and showing what he can do in the predicament. This time, this cleverest dog in the world chases the "Were-Rabbit' with a car - believe me or not, even underground.
If you haven't seen Wallace and Gromit (including the previous impeccable shorts like `A Close Shave' and `The Wrong Trousers'), you are missing a great thing. Though this feature film of W&G has some slack points in its story and overuses the CGI, the results are the magical world of the clay animation only Aardman can create, made with special care and imagination.
Finally this. Though Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes provide the voice of the two supporting characters, the film virtually cannot be possible without the voice of Peter Sallis perfectly becoming the character of Wallace. It is reported that Dreamworks suggested that Aardman replace him with someone with name. Aardman was wise not to follow the studio's unnecessary advice, and they should never do so in the future. And see the excellent creation of Gromit with subtly nuanced facial expressions which are simply wonderful.
Description of Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (Full Screen Edition)
WALLACE & GROMIT:CURSE OF THE WERE RA - DVD MovieA 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
