16 Years. Has it really been that long since Nick Park's most beloved duo began their film careers with their first short movie A Grand Day Out? Ah the memories...
Anyway, that's enough nostalgia for the moment, time to get cracking with Aardman's smashing new film and Wallace and Gromit's cinematic debut, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
With just 4 days to go until Tottington's annual Giant Vegetable Competition, Wallace and his dog, now making a living as humane rabbit disposal service "Anti-Pesto", are assigned to the task of stopping the local wildlife from spoiling the event.
However, when things take a turn for the worse, leaving the locals terrorised by the mythical creature, the Were-Rabbit, are they up to the job of stopping it?
This film is wonderful. With a script full of witty one-liners, hilarious sight gags, and enough heart to make everyone fall in love with the characters, this film proves you don't need huge budgets and enormous production houses to produce a good film (Disney, take note), and the distinctly British feel will have all us Pom's feeling right at home.
There's plenty for everyone. The superb animation and adorable plasticine bunnies for the kids, and enough film references and sexual innuendo (wahey ) to keep the parents satisfied.
One final point, if you're worried that your kids may be frightened of the Were-Rabbit, don't be. It's about as frightening as a kitten in a bow tie.
And as much as I tried to resist saying it...
