"Anti-Pesto" is a humane pest-relocation service in which Wallace and Gromit capture rabbits and other critters who have been eating the produce from local gardens and give them new

The final work justifies every meticulous, monastic, masochistic effort.
Top CriticThe finished article is so CGI-like that you wonder whether all that organic stop-frame stuff was necessary. Sorry, chaps.
Despite its vocal distractions, this clay-animation comedy adventure managed to dazzle me with its sheer audacity and inventiveness.
There is something for everybody here: an unholy mixture of Philip Larkin and Bruce Wayne.
It's slightly amusing and I'd say when it comes out on video or if you catch it on cable, but to rush out to theaters...
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.
A dry yet whimsical touch, specifically British and also aware of cinematic tradition
This is a kids film everyone can enjoy,
It's not as good as the Oscar-winning shorts The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave, but it is good.
Park and co have shaped a wonderfully warm and fuzzy family adventure out of old horror clichà (C)s.
Without question, both the best non live-action film and best family film since last year's The Incredibles.
Instead of vainly pursuing today's latest trends, only to see them turn into tomorrow's embarrassments, Park and co. fall back on the values of the past, preferring substance and craft to the fleetingly voguish.
It's a one-joke premise, but part of Nick Park's madness/genius is the skill and detail with which he approaches it.
With Were-Rabbit, Mr. Park establishes Gromit as the best animated canine character since Snoopy.
Translates quite well into a feature length pic.
Full of the British wit and kinetic action-movie thrills that have made Nick Park's cartoons so popular.
...cute and pleasant (yet essentially forgettable)...

It's a surprising misstep from the people who gave us Chicken Run.
The comedy is never indulged at the expense of the plot, which flies off in genuinely unexpected directions, culminating in a boundlessly inventive funfair chase sequence.
I don't see how anyone who enjoys their animated movies won't enjoy all of this one.
Gromit...could teach ninety percent of the actors working today something. He can say more in a glance than most actors can using their entire range of tools.
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an inventive pseudo-thriller in the Claymation style.
An unqualified success.
