My kids are 6 and 4 years old and we've had this movie for about a year and a half. They really like this movie and so do I! The clay animation is so fun to watch, even if the story might get a tad slow in places. Yes, there is some that British humor that the kids won't get, and some scenes that sensitive kiddos might be frightened by, but all in all it's a very entertaining movie. There is some burping and raspberries blown by the bunnies, if some of the parents want to steer clear of that kind of humor. There is also the matter of the hunter and his gun, the dogs going after each other, Wallace dying but not really dying. My kids have always been fine with everything in the movie, but I have also made a strong point with them that it's only a story, not real. Great flick and highly recommended!

What Parents Need to Know
About Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Parents need to know that the movie includes some mildly scary images of the were-rabbit's transformation -- first in shadow and then in person. These images follow the werewolf pattern, with teeth, fur, paws, and snout indicating the beast's emergence. The townsfolk and one hunter in particular pursue the were-rabbit, with guns and garden tools (again, following classic horror conventions, as in Frankenstein). Characters drink at a party, and make occasional bawdy, Benny-Hillish sexual references, most of which will go over little ones' heads.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the enduring friendship between Wallace and his dog Gromit. How is this relationship a model of loyalty, trust, and affection set against the conniving and pettiness among the humans? And how is their friendship briefly threatened by Wallace's romantic interest in Lady Tottington (who ends up being a terrific good sport too)? How does the film set up a nice tension between the very cute rabbits who are, admittedly, gobbling up the town's vegetable gardens and the monstrous were-rabbit?

Great Aardman classic, that still makes me laugh today. Children may get scared by dark sinister senes, but otherwise it's a must see.

Halloween Treat for Younger Kids
This is a fall favorite in our house. In this adventure Wallace & Gromit are working as bunny catchers. Rather than kill the bunnies Wallace attempts to reprogram their brains. Wallace's invention backfires and results in his transformation into the were-rabbit. It's has a lot of funny take-offs on classic horror style films without any gore or really scary stuff. The little bunnies crack my kids up and there is a very pro-vegetable message which is always helpful with picky preschoolers in the house.

A very good film.
I saw it, and that is great. It has great messages for the family. Though it is based on the Wallace and Gromit line, consumerism isn't an issue. Obviously tastier than the Cloudy with a chance of meat balls movie.

Good/OK
Scary in some parts, and the transformation of the rabbit is a little odd. It is a little funny though, and I enjoyed it!

A great way to spend an evening
This is a very fun movie. **WARNING: There is some innuendo via things being misconstrued. All it is is Lady Tottington (sp?) giggling with Wallace and Victor (Wallace's rival suitor) miscontrues it. It's still really funny though.** Really fun. Still like Chicken Run, but not.

Great Family Movie
This is the perfect movie for all ages. There is almost no objectionable content, and parents will probably enjoy along with toddlers and everyone else (as long as they have a bit of British humor.) Although there are a few very mildly raunchy-ish jokes, it will go over little kid's heads. Also, it may be a bit too suspenseful for toddlers who get scared easily. But besides that it's good for everyone in the family.

yay wallace and gromit
This is a fun family movie, but be warned. In all the reviews I have ever read for this, NONE of them point out that in the end ***WARNING WARNING SPOILER ALERT WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE AAAAAH!*** Wallace almost dies, and he looks dead for a minute, and I remember hearing kids crying in the theater, but then Wallace wakes up at the smell of cheese, so warn your sensitive kids before watching this.
