I took my 6 yr old son to see this movie and we really enjoyed it together! There is some adult hidden type humor that went over the kid's heads to keep us 'old' people amused (LOL) too, so there's something for everyone. We will be buying the dvd when it's out.
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.
Cute Movie!...Claymation a Wonderful Change From All The CGI Out There!
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!
LOVE love love this movie. Wallace and Gromit are the best. And this film has a rabbit! Very fun and enjoyable stop motion format. Fun for kids, tweens and adults.
Great movie for younger kids, and tweens might enjoy it, too. The only violence is very cartoon-esque, and the scary isn't too scary. I enjoyed the genius contraptions that Wallace comes up with, the loyalty of Gromit, and the friendship the two share. Nothing objectionable here, and one that's great not just for Halloween viewing.
Aardman has great animated films, the claymation is so well done and the storyline is very engaging. Some scenes could be a little scary for little kids and some grown ups references might be a bit offending. At the end Gromit rescues Wallace and proves once again that their friendship is strong.
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.
The only thing that is concerning is that it's a bit scary. Obviously, the 'were-rabbit' is a rabbit monster. Admittedly, that monster is still a big, fluffy rabbit, but it's shown with a suspense-style ... spooky music, big shadows of the monster you can't see. I had to sit through this with my four year olds a few times, so they were comfortable with it, but they enjoy it. I would not let my two year old watch it.
Devoid of most formula processes (predictable plot, hip kid language, smart aleck behavior and inane devices tht reinforce mainstream pop culture) this one is refreshing and original. Adults can sit through it (think clever earlier cartoons that could be comprehended on many age levels) and actually appreciate it. One strong attraction is evidence of being hand-made. While there is plenty of computer manipulation, it is refreshing to see the human touch in a cartoon film these days. Makes you want to go home and get out the clay and make such characters yourself. A very creative approach to entertainment. Too over-stimulating for younger children. Best for kids around 10 and up, and their parents. Adults may also wish to track down the brilliant and hilarious short by the same creator (Nick Park), "Creature Comforts".
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.
