Wallace and Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit: Winner of the Academy Award for best animated movie in 2005, this movie is fully worth a spin in the DVD player. The movie is not as “adult oriented” as some of the other animated movies we have seen lately, but still has jokes and references that only older views will get. Clay animation is used to bring this story to life and it really is the star of the movie. Wallace and his sidekick Gromit (a dog) own a pest control company which helps the neighboring farmers control the rabbit problem they are having. Each year the town has a contest / festival for the largest vegetable grown. This year we have a very BIG problem as a giant rabbit is on the loose eating every vegetable in sight. The mysterious giant rabbit proves to be a tough catch for Wallace and Gromit, to help catch him they may just have to look into a mirror. Voicing some of the characters are Ralph Fiennes, Helen Bonham Carter and Peter Sallis. A great movie for kids that adults will like as well!!
