Wallace and his loyal dog, Gromit, set out to discover the mystery behind the garden sabotage that plagues their village and threatens the annual giant vegetable growing contest. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is the kind of animated film that truly shines and somehow you don't really expect it to right? The storyline reminds me a bit of Wolfman meets Beauty and the Beast meets Hulk but in it's own comedic and funny way. Plus the animation and the voice casting are brilliant and it's definitely a movie that i recommend without a doubt. (A+)

The first half of this film is brilliant. The animation is predictably stunning, Fiennes and Bonham Carter are outstanding and the story develops seamlessly. The Vicar, who benefits from some exceptional screen writing, is especially brilliant. The second half lacks the subtlety and skill of the first half, turning instead to 'crowd pleasing' action and clichés, much like 'A Close Shave' or the more recent short film. Nevertheless, whether or not you are familiar with the shorts I highly recommend this great animated comedy, particularly for families or as a light film for a date night.

Wallace and his loyal dog, Gromit, set out to discover the mystery behind the garden sabotage that plagues their village and threatens the annual giant vegetable growing contest.This is a film that is both good and bad. Fans of Wallace, Gromit and Nick Park will probably enjoy it. The time and effort that goes into this kind of animation is unbelievable. Is it harder than hand-drawing? Maybe, maybe not... but everything has to be just right, which makes it seem like more of a process than the computer animation of today (2015).But the story is not that great, or at least not as memorable. Today, "Wrong Trousers" and "Chicken Run" are something of modern classics, but "Were Rabbit" has been more or less forgotten. A huge splash in 2005-2006, perhaps, but only decreasing in popularity since. Unfortunate, really, given the great voice talent (Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes) involved.

I watched this movie for maybe 30minutes. Wallace & Gromit were hired by people that had gardens. They had a truck and would capture animals that would ruin people's gardens.They would capture lots of rabbits and them back to their business. There was a built in shoot at in the kitchen like a laundry shoot and they would take rabbits by the bunch and let them slide down the shoot where they all landed and stayed captured. They would dice up lots of carrots and send them down the shoot to feed the rabbit.When things start getting out of hand Wallace starts to experiment how he could brainwash the rabbits into not eating cabbage, carrots and other vegetables. He used an electric helmet attached to his head and put the rabbits in a tube where they get the signals from his brain to theirs.Something went wrong and they changed. At some point I stopped watching because they show a rabbit breaking into a church and breaking the stain glass windows. There was a Cross in the church that ended up on the ground and the minister sees something that scares him and uses two cucumber as a cross to block the scary rabbit and faints.Aardman makes great animation movies and series like Shaun the Sheep. I felt this was insulting so I stopped watching. Humor is good but not when you use religious objects in a offensive way just because it is in a animated movie.
