Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

I watched Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit last night with Lou and we were both unimpressed with it. The concept of most Wallace & Gromit films is similar and has worked in the past largely due to the running time coming in at around 30 minutes. However, it's move to the 'big time' and the full Hollywood treatment does nothing but make the plot look thin and cover the same ground over and over again when we all know what is going to happen [i.e. they will save the day and everyone lives happily ever after].


Nick Park is therefore in a quandry. No doubt kids will love the film and a sequel will be demanded but I don't think the world needs more Wallace & Gromit. I hope that he instead concentrates on new and original characters and returns to making short films where his style suits rather than throwing out a bad full length feature every 5 years.

I would give this film 2 wabbits out of 5.
