Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit: Critic Reviews

The Curse of the Were-Rabbit bestows generous blessings on all that's good in Englishness, in moviedom, and, of course, in cheese.

The stop-motion pooch and his cheese-loving master return in a silly and sublime feature-length adventure.

Were-Rabbit is a tiny plasticine masterpiece.

A whimsical success of a very high order: The pace never lags, the invention is incessant, and it makes you want to have a bite of cheese afterward.

Hare, hare!

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit soars with comic absurdities and innocent silliness while embracing old-world quaintness and a sweet heart.

It's among the most inventive animated movies ever made.

Blessedly, Were-Rabbit is as much fun to watch as it must have been to write.

There is something for everybody here: an unholy mixture of Philip Larkin and Bruce Wayne.

Wallace and Gromit are arguably the two most delightful characters in the history of animation.

Most of us come from common clay. Wallace & Gromit do not.

All in all, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is a comic blessing.

W&G remain as lovable as ever.

If the premise is wonderfully silly, the pursuit of its end is a dazzling parade of invention and inspiration.

The movie is filled with the usual Wallace & Gromit favorites, from meticulously designed miniature sets to chase scenes, double-entendres and sight gags built around tiny props and the clay figures, which seem quite alive at times.

Despite its vocal distractions, this clay-animation comedy adventure managed to dazzle me with its sheer audacity and inventiveness.

Consistently charming.

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit demands more than a single viewing to catch everything -- and audiences of all ages won't mind one bit.

A silly and cuddly dab of Silly Putty animation from the folks who gave us Chicken Run but who made their reputations doing short films about a daft Englishman and his dog.

The cheesy puns are as thick as rabbits in the bucolic England of inventor Wallace and his loyal mutt Gromit, and that's a gouda thing.

At first glance, these lumpy creatures do not strike you as the best claymation efforts since God created Adam but Park's work is brilliantly understated.

The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is lively and boisterous, but it also has a quiet heart.

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is a bloody delight on every level.

It's one of 2005's few non-live action feature capable of engaging all members of the family.

Two of the funniest cartoon characters ever make a delightful feature debut.
