Heroes Return - Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit review by Steve
Maybe not quite at the level of the Wallace and Gromit short films for the dose of sweet joy they impart, but the much loved claymation duo's first feature is still extraordinary, and the animation even a little more sophisticated. And it successfully sustains the magic formula over a longer format. Our heroes are still funny, and uncannily heartwarming!
It was made for DreamWorks, so there is a pair of proper stars for the publicity. Helena Bonham Carter is the lady of the manor who Wallace has a crush on, and Ralph Fiennes his idiot rival. But it doesn't compromise on the quintessential Englishness. Thankfully, Peter Sallis returns to voice Wallace. And it is dense with quality puns and other dad jokes...
The inventor and his companion are in business protecting local gardens and allotments as the annual prize vegetable competition approaches... But Wallace disastrously gets his pest control apparatus mixed up with a brain moderation gadget and creates a giant... well, a were-rabbit. The science isn't clear... but it's extremely hungry.
Gromit must save the day, again. The suits didn't like its parochialism and dropped the Aardman contract. Even though much of this was inspired by Universal horror. Still, it's a milestone in screen animation both in terms of craft and content. And a family film that appeals to adults and children alike. Yet it's more; W&G make the world seem kinder, and more charming.
