WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT [2005] review

I really like the Wallace & Gromit animated shorts, the only previous existence of these characters until the feature length WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT came out. The shorts were, well, short…giving them a feeling of intimacy and concentrated magic that was lost in a 90-minute film. It seemed too big. Wallace & Gromit were not meant to be in a story that long.

Still, the larger budget showed in the production value of the film. It looked gorgeous. Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes did great work voicing there respective characters. I don’t think anyone would recognize Ralph at all. It would be nice to see in out-takes him in the recording studio while speaking like his character Victor.

I hope Nick Park makes another Wallace & Gromit short next, not another movie.
