What Park has done is resurrect not just the spirit but, as it were, the bodily science of early comedy. Like Chuck Jones, and, further back, like Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd, Park is unafraid of the formulaic--—of bops on the head, of the unattainable beloved, of gadgetry gone awry--because he sees what beauty there can be in minor, elaborate variations on a basic theme.

This is more than just the best animated comedy of the year--it's the best comedy of the year, period.

A comedy masterpiece. The jokes are timeless and genuinely perfect along with an extremely interesting plot that had me genuinely surprised. This movie scared me as a child.

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is a delightful and hilarious adventure that captures the magic of the beloved animated series. From the impeccable stop-motion animation to the witty dialogue and lovable characters, this film has it all. The story follows the cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his loyal dog Gromit as they attempt to stop a giant rabbit from destroying their town's prized vegetables. Along the way, they encounter a cast of eccentric characters, including Lady Tottington, a kind-hearted aristocrat, and Victor Quartermaine, a scheming hunter. What makes this film so great is its perfect blend of humor, heart, and creativity. The comedic timing is spot-on, with numerous laugh-out-loud moments that will have audiences of all ages in stitches. At the same time, the film never loses sight of its emotional core, delivering a heartwarming message about the importance of friendship and perseverance. The attention to detail in the animation is simply stunning, with each frame filled with intricate sets, expressive characters, and subtle visual gags. The voice acting is also top-notch, with Peter Sallis and Helena Bonham Carter delivering standout performances as Wallace and Lady Tottington, respectively. Overall, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is a true masterpiece of animation that deserves to be cherished for years to come. It's a must-see for fans of the series and newcomers alike, and a shining example of the artistry and charm that can be achieved through stop-motion animation.

Most of all, Wallace & Gromit retains the clever, one-of-a-kind sensibility that made its shorter predecessors so delightful. With every studio comedy looking for a formula for success, it's refreshing to find a heroically whimsical film that succeeds by following no formula known to dog or man.

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

The result is an experience rich in pleasure and surprise, one that easily stands up to multiple viewings.

The delightful G-rated film has a story line simple enough for pre-schoolers to follow and comic sensibility complex enough for adults to savor, with an emphasis on howlingly bad (by which I mean good) puns.

Eminently worth seeing, even if it leaves you wishing it were as consistently inventive as Aardman's first feature, "Chicken Run" (2000).

From short to first feature film, the dynamic duo from all over England in a furry, hare-rising experience, in which they must stop an irrepressible and voracious beast at all costs. The typical humor is in order and with a great cast of voices. A classic in its own right of stop- motion. W&G rocks.

The animation and voice acting are brilliant but the story didn't interest me that much and the films style of humor wasn't my taste.

Big time decency on the top of our movies. I hope this was written by Benedit Cumberbatch.
