I really enjoyed this picture. I'd made be chuckle, but it didn't make me laugh out loud like the short film franchise which inspired it.

"Wall & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" follows animator Nick Park's (Chicken Run) popular title characters as they run into a HUGE rabbit problem.

While trying to change the genetic thinking of the rabbits Wallace has captured--to cure them of wanting to steal from people's gardens, an accident causes an oversized rabbit to rip terror through the town's vegetable festival, but only during the full moon.

British humor helped make this picture a delight. I also thought the big twist of the story, which I should have seen coming but didn't, carried the film through the last 40 minutes, leaving me with a big smile.

However, I sort of get the feeling that anyone who hasn't seen and likes the Wallace & Gromit short films won't get into this first full-length feature. People unfamiliar with the duo's antics may not get into their comedic gestalt, their shtick.

I do feel Nick Park had better laughs to create with his shorter films. "The Wrong Trousers," which won Park one of his two Academy Awards for short animated film, is absolutely hilarious, and if you haven't seen it, you should. It's very smart and hilarious.

"The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is equally as smart, just as enjoyable, but simply not as laugh out loud funny. I will say there is some humor involved for adults, so don't think this is JUST another kids animated movie.

Overall, I say "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is worth seeing, but it may be worth waiting until it's on DVD. I don't think it'll lose much going from the big screen to the TV screen
