Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were – Rabbit

I shall start by saying go and see Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were – Rabbit.

Wallace and Gromit will walk away with the best-animated feature Oscar next year, there’s no debate about it, I however feel that it should also be a very strong contender to be nominated for the Best Picture category. Where it will face off against the likes of Crash, The Cinderella Man, and Peter Jackson’s King Kong. It will also be a heavy contender in the Best Original Screenplay raced as well as several other categories.

Why is the Wallace and Gromit movie so great?

Well, for starters, it made me laugh for nearly all of the one hour and twenty - four minutes that the film lasts. I found this very impressive.

Secondly, the film is packed with references to films such as King Kong, Jaws, and An American Were - wolf in London to name a few.

Thirdly, it has a really impressive cast that includes actors such as Ralf Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter, John Thomson and Peter Kay (Not forgetting the brilliant Peter Sallis as Wallace)

Fourthly, it’s packed to the brim with Sexual Innuendos (which I found quite surprising considering the movies U certificate)

And Fifthly, It’s a film about one man and his dog.

This movie took five years to make; such is the art of Claymation. It has a phenomenal screenplay, containing pure jems of British humour. And I really believe that everyone should see this film, even if it’s the only film you see this year, even if you hate Wallace and Gromit you should see this film. It is just that good.
