Review:

Tim: I was completely unfamiliar with these two animated characters, but I found myself caught up in this simple story, and actually did enjoy watching the movie. It is certainly cute, harmless, and entertaining enough. The story is pretty clever, and it even throws a plot twist or two that you won't see coming if you don't think too hard about what you see.

The animation is pretty impressive. I can't remember if this is some sort of claymation, or just plain animation, and I'm too lazy to go look it up. Let's just say that the film looks pretty amazing. It also won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature at the 2006 Academy Awards.

A good amount of thought went into the plot. The story of the were-rabbit is pretty clever. I lvoe seeing all the gadgets and gizmos that Wallace and Gromit have. These are both fun and interesting to see. This all comes to life with some very detailed animation.

Wallace and Gromit are both loveable characters, and they work well together on screen. As animated characters go, they compliment each other well. They are pretty humorous, and get into some funny situations. There are some funny jokes, but most are pretty corny and roll-your-eyes bad.

Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an entertaining movie. It is far more intelligent and complex than many animated films today. It is refreshing to see an animated film that is appealing to children but also treats them as if they're intelligent enough to follow a complex story. This isn't the best movie, but it is entertaining enough. The movie is fun in a silly, stupid type of way. You should have an enjoyable time with it.
