Anyone seen the Curse of the Were Rabbit yet?

It was only released on Friday in England so I'm hoping to see it tomorrow.

The Wallace & Gromit films are as well-done and amazingly clever and funny as anything in the history of animation. The fact that they are "old school low-tech", IMO makes them even better!

I can't wait to see the new release...

SAW IT!

Opening day we took the girls. Had we planned better, we would have gone during the day, as it was they were excited to go, but we took them late and they thought it was a little scary. Loved it though. I think they would have liked it better if they weren't getting tired. We will see it again on video though.

and it's very, very good. I really liked the Thunderbirds theme running through it.

Like many of the Wallace and Gromit films, you need to see it several times to get all the subtle points.

Yes, we saw it last weekend.
Tottie is great :)
And the chase sequence.

The thunderbirds theme I was a little disappointed, as they used that in the past (a close shave).
But still a good film.

Lots of refrences to other films for the grown ups.
Lots of fun for the kids.
The usual mix, though quite scary for youngsters I'd think.

The were-rabbit was very well done.

Of course next day out shopping we HAD to buy the tempreature testing Gromit tea mug.
And visit BK a couple of times to get the toys.
My wife is a big kid really :)

Did you hear about the fire at the Aardman archive?
Original (old) sets, models, storyboards, all lost.

Was it Preston ?
Or Mrs Tweedy's revenge?
