Wallace and Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
film — UK — 2005

8.0
There`s something about this rabbit. I started writing my impressions of it yesterday but I somehow couldn`t get past the first sentence. Probably it was because I couldn`t concentrate for 100% since I was at my sisters place and everybody was talking all the time. Still it didn`t disturb me to do a bit of programming - which without a doubt is a much more demanding task than writing my own factoid. So it was maybe because of me being cursed by a were-rabbit, just like Wallace was. Then the press first learned to know that this cartoon was soon coming out I thought - hey, how come I not know anything about Wallace in Gromit if everyone considers this film such a huge event? Later on I learned to know that these characters also appeared in "Chicken Run", quite a famous cartoon about poultry but it was certainly too pale for my taste. This one was much better - the whole situation with a competition for gigantic vegetables may be a bit odd, and so would I describe the hunter fellow competing with Wallace for being the best rabbit catcher, but who gives a damn? At least there was no patriotic American cock in this film. Or a penis as a matter of fact. What we have here is some nice British actors, some nice British humour and one of the lead actresses from "Corpse Bride". I don`t know whether you`ve noticed that but I watched cartoons for two days in a row. And you know what? I liked them more than most of the films I had seen recently. I can`t really remember when I saw anything as jolly good as "Corpse bride" and "Wallace and Gromit". Ok, there was "3-Iron" but that comes from a completely different culture, and it offers something different from what you would await from American or even European films.
