I really refused to see this movie. I refused to go with the school and I refused to go with my parents. Just by looking at the trailer it looked stupid, to me anyway. One of my friends wanted to... Full review

When Wallace and Gromit burst onto the scene in their academy award winning short, "A Grand Day Out," they created a fresh new look at claymation. After two more shorts, Aardman's dynamic duo returned for this thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining... Full review

There are a few aspects to Park's movies, and in particular Wallace & Gromit, that I would say make them so great. The first is subtlety and observation, the flagship of which is the character of Gromit. He doesn't speak,... Full review

Wallace and Gromit are the main characters in some of the best cartoons ever crafted. The excellent mix of visual humor and claymation makes "A Grand Day Out," "The Wrong Trousers," and also "A Close Shave" some of the best... Full review

This first (and hopefully not last) Wallace & Gromit feature lives up to expectations. There are plenty of jokes (some a bit cheeky) as well as some great tributes to past Science Fiction movies. With the barrage of awful and... Full review

A very enjoyable film. You can see there's much more subtlety in the characters with regard to facial expressions. The voice actors did a great job, and there are some great gags, some of which are not for children, but... Full review

if these guys can weave a better yarn.....the mystery is in figuring out why genius creator Nick Park would fall back on such a hackneyed plot.....Wallace & Gromit in A Matter of Loaf and Death only gets a passing grade taking into account the lovable history of the characters themselves..... ...

With its deft humour and unique touches, Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an inspired adventure for every age.
Warm, funny, with a ripe sense of the ridiculous, the heart of any story about Wallace and Gromit, lies in the strength of the man/dog relationship.

You can expect all manner of King Kong pastiches once the remake opens in December, but Wallace & Gromit succeeds in spoofing the great ape months in advance.
An array of new humans now figure - including PC McIntosh (voiced by Peter Kay), Lady Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter) and her no-good snooty suitor Lord Victor Quartermaine (Ralph Fiennes, in Rigsby mode) - as do numerous not-so-cutesy rabbits.
