Synopsis: The cheese-loving Wallace (Peter Sallis) and his ever-faithful dog Gromit-the much-loved duo from Aardman's Oscar®-winning clay-animated "Wallace & Gromit" shorts-star in an all new comedy... The cheese-loving Wallace (Peter Sallis) and his ever-faithful dog Gromit-the much-loved duo from Aardman's Oscar®-winning clay-animated "Wallace & Gromit" shorts-star in an all new comedy adventure, marking their first full-length feature film. As the annual Giant Vegetable Competition approaches, it's "veggie-mania" in Wallace and Gromit's neighborhood. The two enterprising chums have been cashing in with their pest-control outfit, "Anti-Pesto," which humanely dispatches the rabbits that try to invade the sacred gardens. Suddenly, a huge, mysterious, veg-ravaging beast begins terrorizing the neighborhood, attacking the town's prized plots at night and destroying everything in its path. Desperate to protect the competition, its hostess, Lady Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter), commissions Anti-Pesto to catch the creature and save the day. Lying in wait, however, is Lady Tottington's snobby suitor, Victor Quartermaine (Ralph Fiennes), who'd rather shoot the beast and secure the position of local hero-not to mention Lady Tottington's hand in marriage. With the fate of the competition in the balance, Lady Tottington is eventually forced to allow Victor to hunt down the vegetable chomping marauder. Little does she know that Victor's real intent could have dire consequences for her…and our two heroes. Nick Park ("Chicken Run"), the original creator of Wallace & Gromit, and Steve Box are directing "Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" from a screenplay by Bob Baker, Mark Burton, Steve Box and Nick Park. The film is produced by Peter Lord, David Sproxton, Nick Park, Claire Jennings and Carla Shelley, with Michael Rose and Cecil Kramer serving as executive producers. Peter Sallis, who has voiced the role of Wallace in all of the award-winning shorts, reprises his role in the feature film. Two-time Academy Award® nominee Ralph Fiennes ("The English Patient," "Schindler's List") and Academy Award® nominee Helena Bonham Carter ("The Wings of the Dove") and are the voices of Victor and Lady Tottington, respectively. An Aardman production, "Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is presented by DreamWorks Animation SKG and Aardman Features, and will be distributed by DreamWorks Distribution LLC. --© DreamWorks [More]

It's a fun and thoroughly inventive family flick littered with quirky characters, puns-a-plenty and more gadgets than Inspector Gadget's walk-in closet.

The final 30 minutes is as exciting and thrill-packed as any action blockbuster, and as inventive as anything in Wallace's workshop.

The film has the literal hands-on, homemade appearance of the whimsical gizmos that Wallace invents for his own cottage industries.

...it may be possible to resist this lovely movie on the grounds that it is too British, such resistance dissolves when the lights go down and the screen begins to glow.

Maybe if PETA tried being funny instead of comparing eating meat to the Holocaust, they’d have a bigger following.

As always, Gromit, as doggedly silent and resourceful as Buster Keaton, is the true hero, and the rousing finale is far and away his finest hour.

...wonderful sight gags, puns, movie parodies, and so many throwaway jokes that you’ll have to see the movie more than once to catch them all.

The humor is sophisticated but sweet, and the clever references are not the only thing about the movie for adults to enjoy.

This is an exceedingly fun picture, featuring dry English charms, bright comic invention, and a breath of horror that deep down, every kid loves.

Delivers all the staples and pleasures of Park’s world , including the precious selflessness that Gromit exudes for his master.

Wallace and Gromit are two of the most lovably goofy characters in movie history with amazing chemistry, and appeal to all ages, which is quite shocking for two lumps of clay
