Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (Widescreen Edition) Review
"may become a rabbit when the rabbit-bane blooms, and the autumn moon is bright."
This movie captures the spirit of all the traditional furbearing creature films. Mild mannered Wallace (voice of Peter Sallis) experiments with the nature of rabbits and men. Little could he understand the terrible beast within us that he released on the world of man and vegetables alike.
One interesting thing about the film is good and bad guys and alike have those gnarly looking British teeth. In addition, the film is full of unabashed double entendres.
Be sure to look at the DVD extras then watch the movie again.

Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (Widescreen Edition) Specifications
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

Very funny again - Ben Nicholson - Landrake, Saltash, Cornwall, UK
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.
Hard to find! - E. Meyer - Chesterfield, MI
Couldn't find this locally. Great quality. Excellent price. A must see for everyone.
Surprisingly good - Mamaka - Utah
We bought this movie because my son lost the one we borrowed from a friend. After we received the movie, we found the lost one. So, now we own it. I wasn't too enthused about buying this movie but when we watched it, I actually enjoyed it. It is quite humorous and clean.
