Review of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) by Jon — 11 Oct 2005

I took my 3 yr old to this movie. I had already taught him to say 'Come along Gromit, we have windows to wash!' in Wallace-speak. I have been a long time fan of the shorts. We went with high expectations.

I believe if this was filmed with live actors it would have received an R rating. Themes of hate, betrayal, classist division and murder run through this offensive animation. This is 'Family/Kids'? How do I explain that the bunnies are crying because they think Wallace is dead? Killing bunnies does seem an appropriate theme for a kid movie.

One of the main characters is driven by hate, guns, killing and murder. That the system wrote, approved and filmed this, then marketed it to families is considered state of the art is a telling factor in the degradation of this society.
