There is something about gromit (the dog) that is so fundamentally adorable, i cant help falling in love with him and his silly British, cheese loving owner. I truly feel for the poor dog, who in his owners absence must continue on working. In this newest series of wallace and gromit, they are protecting veggies from bunny rabbits. These furry rodents are being captured humanly by wallace and gromit and then being kept in their basement. The idea is to make sure everyone can grow the biggest veggies so they can compete for the golden carrot.

BUT! Wallace has and idea. why not make the rabbits not like carrots... he makes his contraception and something goes terribly wrong. Next thing they know, instead of a rabbit not liking carrots they have a giant rabbit that eats all the big veggies in town! Its a disaster! The were-rabbit is on the loose!!

This film is so cute there is nothing not to like about it, except that some of the females have lips that are way too big. It is even pretty self reflexive as a piece of film. For example, in one section you hear doom organ music like in horror films, and someone said "oh cut it out" and then you see it is a little old lady playing the church organ. The claymation is adorable and fun to watch, especially these days when claymation is done so rarely. Little details in the film make it alive and full.
