Wallace and Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

ALL AGES WELCOME ► This month’s Cinema Sunday presentation is a marvel of stop-motion animation and sophisticated imagination!  Understated humour combines with Buster Keaton-style slapstick gags as the uniquely British Wallace and Gromit continue to charm the world one frame at a time. The Plasticine pair is in for a spooky and hilarious adventure when a mysterious creature begins attacking their town’s vegetable gardens — just days before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition. After their humane pest control company Anti-Pesto is commissioned to capture the culprit, Wallace and Gromit race against time to save the day before an archrival beats them to it. In an era of ever-expanding CGI animation, the movie, five years in the making, was created using traditional, painstakingly detailed methods — a testament to directors Nick Park and Steve Box’s vision and their amazing ability to create such genuine and lovable characters out of clay, wire, and faux-fur. The film won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. "A universe of boundless optimism, in which two creatures who are perfectly suited to each other venture out every morning to make the world into a safer place for the gentle, the good and the funny" (Roger Ebert). Colour, 35mm, 85 mins.
