"Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit": who else has seen it?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

I thought it was great!

What a great racket for Helena Bonham Carter to do voices for both this and "Corpse Bride"... I wonder if they get paid anything like for live action films...

1. Not yet, but I can't wait.

Saw "Flightplan" w/ my sister the other day. Hardly Jodie's best work, but hey, I had a gift certificate.

I LOVE the stuff the W&G guy comes up with. "Chicken Run" -- I LOL just thinking about that film. "I don't want to be a pie. I don't like gravy."

[KitchenWitch]

2. Saw it yesterday

very enjoyable!

[Fenris]

3. Going this afternoon!

:bounce:

[flamingyouth]

12. Ah, is that what you guys are going to see?!

Have fun! :hug::D

[Gormy Cuss]

4. The jam jar labeled "Middle Age Spread"....

:rofl:

It's another good time with Wallace & Gromit.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

6. Yeah I caught that too, got a good laugh out of me...

[Robb]

14. Or the cheese package

W wore for pants, "May contain nuts"!!! :rofl:

[NYC Liberal]

5. I ALWAYS love W-n-G!

They're always very light and very enjoyable...and funny!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

7. I liked how all the rabbits always howled in response to the Were-Rabbit.

I think that was my favorite thing in the movie.

I think the "special rabbit" (trying not to spoiler) would be an excellent collector's item action figure.

[NYC Liberal]

9. I loved that too!

So did you guess what was gonna happen, in terms of the were-rabbit? I honestly thought there would be a twist!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

11. No, I didn't and I thought it was cool. So for me, it WAS a twist I guess.

[NYC Liberal]

17. I thought it was hysterical when the 'special rabbit' became

well, you know what-who! The whole end of the movie with the fair was great as well. ;)

I'm definitely getting this on DVD when it comes out.

8. One of Nick Park's first award winning films was a short called

"Creature Conforts." It was animals complaining about life in a zoo....if you can find it ...watch it...the guy is great!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

10. Documentary style interviews with the animals, very amusing...

13. I liked the leopard best

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

15. Didn't the leopard have an Italian accent or something?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. South American...he was from the rain forest

[Gormy Cuss]

16. the one who needs "Space"?

Creature Comforts is great. The only problem with it is that the accents are so thick that I had to see it several times before I caught some of the funniest lines.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

21. I NEEEEEED SPAYCE!!!!

I know many Argentine people...his accent was very much like theirs!

[bettyellen]

23. he did ads for whoever provides heating oil in britain with animals...

and i think it was done using pre existing interviews aith people on the street. very cute, people talkong about enjoying being cozy and all.
i love everything he does.
:hi:
:loveya:

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

29. He revisited "Creature Comforts" in 2003

making 13 ten minute shorts. Both are available in the US however the original is out of print & 2nd hand discs are mega-$$$

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

32. I have the original on tape

but the revisit looks quite good too!

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

34. treasure it!

There was a documentary on recently about animation in the UK which featured interviews with some of the families who were interviewed for 'Creature Comforts'. It was scary how little they'd changed in over 15 years!

The recent series was okay, but the material was stretched a little thin IMO.

[BrotherBuzz]

35. I first saw 'Creature Comforts' at an animated film festival...

It was way cool, and was sort of an add-on bonus to the billed debut of Nick Park's then newest short "A Grand Day Out" ("No crackers, Gromit! We've forgotten the crackers!") I've been a fan ever since.

[AlCzervik]

18. Saw it yesterday and i loved it!!! My daughter was howling through it

and so was i. There was a lot in there for the adults. Lady Tottinghams melon's, the dog's dogfight and the church scene when the vicar said they were being punished for growing such big vegetables. Excellent, a movie for everyone.

[bettyellen]

19. if u haven't seen "the wrong trousers" do it....

very entertaining. wallace and grommit are amazing.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

22. Yep...that was funny

HI! :hi:

[bettyellen]

24. hey you!!

i love grommit when he's feeling all jealous and neglected.
i'm going to take my nephew to see the new one next week.
:)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

25. .

[bettyellen]

26. well, thank you much!

what an evil bird she (he?) was.
LOL.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

27. Gromit is the most expressive character. I like how much expression Park

gets out of a little fold of claymation eyebrow, like in the pic above.

[bettyellen]

28. i saw that one sitting in the second row, really biiig screen and i recall

you could see a fingerprint here and there- mostly on the penquin's body, because it was sort of glossy black. it's nice that it wasn't so computerized. he's an amazingly gifted sculptor if you ask me. :)

[hippiechick]

31. 'A Close Shave' was hilarious, too !!

... that was the first one I ever saw, and immediately had to buy all 3 <Close Shave, Wrong Trousers and A Grand Day Out -- which was odd> for Hippiekid.

[Arugula Latte]

30. Saw it and loved it!

I took the kids and it was great not to have to sit through some lame-ass movie like "Herbie Fully Loaded."

So clever!

[DrZeeLit]

33. Ralph Fiennes voice is in it, too. He did that and Voldemort.

Interesting combo...huh?
Can't wait for the new Harry Potter movie!
