It's kinda ironic how expressive Gromit is for being a Claymation model. He's more expressive than some CGI is today.

Lady Tottingham's hair looks like either a Wotsit or Cheeto.

You be the judge.

I see what you did there XD

Jambareeqi I think it’s a good thing you’re not reviewing a bad movie this Halloween because I wouldn’t want to see you having an unpleasant movie experience during Halloween.

This is still one of my favourite movies, I rewatched it again last Christmas, getting nice and cozy and I was surprised at how it was even better than I remember. Along with the nostalgia of watching Wallace and Gromit with my gran. The movie even inspired me to plant my own vegetable garden at her house and I tended to it every weekend I was ‘round hers. And good God I remember I would spend hours going through al the bonus features and behind the scenes content.
It just ticks so many boxes for me, excellent sense of scale, lush cinematography and art direction, a focus on animals, quaint British life meeting epic stakes and the virtue of being a genuinlly good, British animated film. Makes me wish we could have our own animation revolution - maybe with stop motion and hand drawn animation.
I certainly agree that seeing all these locals with their broad Northern accents reminds me of people I know and live around me. Especially the older people I meet each week at the village hall for art class. It just gives me warm fuzzies. I especially love seeing all the different designs and the fact that they are all part of their own families and have a sense of character to them. I also really love the game for this movie on the PS2, meeting all these background characters in all these colossal, open-world settings throughout different Yorkshire environments.

This, Chicken Run and Shaun the Sheep Movie are in my opinion the best Aardman movies, I can't decide which one is the better one! Aardman is my favorite animation studio and the one that inspires my own animation style

This is my favourite Jambareeqi Halloween episode. XD

[josepharmstrong]

I didn't grow up with Marry Poppins at all and it's one of my favorite live-action movies.

MY GAWD, how did I never notice that?!

My my you Brits are more cheeky then I thought

[masterknife]

You should've talked more about the vicar. He's easily the funniest character in the entire film with his doom and gloom attitude to the Were Rabbit

[skunkman]

Hutch is so adorable and very funny
That’s why he’s my favorite character

[edenanimates]

This is my favourite movie
I literally watched it a thousand times

[HydraSpectre]

It is actually rated U in the UK and the PG rating is because of the DVD bonus content.
It includes the rather dark short film Stage Fright which got the entire DVD a PG rating.
This also happened with The Phantom Menace but I don’t know which bonus featurette got it a PG rating on DVD and Blu-ray, though the film itself was rated U even with Darth Maul getting sliced in half.
It also happened with the Star Ware Trilogy 2004 DVD box set which got a PG rating entirely from the Empire of Dreams bonus documentary though the films themselves were still rated U.

Great review Jambareeqi, I absolutely adore Curse of the Were-Rabbit! It's just such a great film and personally it reduces me to helpless (and very loud!) laughter every time I watch it - particularly in the 'A bullet?' scene! Probably my two favourite characters in the film - apart from W&G themselves - are the Vicar and the police constable, they're both brilliant! Fantastic review!

[georgerobertson]

Jambareeqi did you know during the production of this movie dreamworks wanted to replace Peter Sallis as Wallace with a celebrity? (If so do you think the guys at dreamworks are idiots for trying to make that choice)

[JaredGriffiths]

Actually this movie is only rated U in the UK. The reason why the DVD is rated PG is because of the bonus features.

[nathanforester]

I like how it builds up to the reveal that the wererabbit is Wallace as a result of hte brainwashing gone horribly wrong, and the transformation scene is really clever not just because of how it is animated and designed but because of the nods to An American Werewolf In London.

[MrDEdits]

That woman's hair looks like a cheese puff.

[konnordano]

As a northerner and living in a small village eerily similar to that as in the movie, I was genuinely scared of the Were-Rabbit as a naive child for the fear that it could be something that very well existed. The way in which the movie captures the idyllic nature of a North Yorkshire village paired with horror elements that now make me laugh as an adult living in the same setting, make it a perfect watch for every stage of my life so far where I live. It brought something different for every age at which I re-watched it and is now one of my all time favourites

When I saw as this as a kid, I *almost* wanted to try vegetables.
