Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit
You have to be a fan of British humor to enjoy this silly movie.
W&G run a humane pest control service called "Anti-Pesto" in a town that is obessesed with produce and the yearly vegetable competition is only days away. W&G are praised for saving the prized veggies of the townfolk as well as Lady Tottingham and all is well and good.
Wallace comes up with the idea that he can brainwash the rabbits into disliking vegetables. He just happens to have a braincontrol contraption in his basement. He hooks it up, puts the bunnies in a big hopper thingy and uses lunar power to encourage the process. Needless to say, something goes horribly wrong and a single bunny somehow gets sucked up the connecting tube and stuck to Wallace's head. Gromit saves the day by shutting down the machine. The bunny that gets trapped on Wallace's head (named Hutch) appears to have stopped being interested in veggies. Wallace congratulates himself on his brilliance and tottles off to bed.
Just days before the big vegetable fete is to be held, the township is raided by a horrible, huge rabbit that ravages the Vicar's garden as well as other townfolk. (Wonder how that happened!) W&G are called in to capture the beast and Lady Tottingham's wannabe boyfriend, Quatermain wants to blow it to smitherines. Lady T is a softie and doesn't want the critter hurt.
W&G do their best to subdue the Were-rabbit and madness ensues at the Vegetable Faire held at Tottingham Hall. The best part of the movie starts from this point on so I won't ruin it for you.
There are double entendres here and there and the bunnies are really strange looking with snouts rather than little bunny noses. The grotesque mouths of the characters are a bit distracting, but I am guessing that is the artist's signature (either that or a comment on British dental care.)
Wesley loved it and had a good time. Jessica was bored within 5 minutes and proceeded to drive me nuts throughout the whole movie - but at least I didn't get a drink poured on me this time!
