Product Description Wallace and his loyal dog, Gromit, set out to discover the mystery behind the garden sabotage that plagues their village and threatens the annual giant vegetable growing contest. .com A decade after their last hilarious short, the Oscar-winning A Close Shave, Claymation wonders Wallace and Gromit return for a full-length adventure. Daffy scientist Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his heroic dog Gromit are doing well with their business, Anti-Pesto, a varmint-hunting outfit designed to keep their English town safe from rabbits chomping on prized vegetables. Wallace meets Lady Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter), who appreciates Wallace's humane way of dealing with rabbits (courtesy of the Bun-Vac 6000), and sets up a rivalry with the gun-toting Victor Quartermaine (Ralph Fiennes, enjoying himself more than ever). Creator Nick Park, with co-director/writer Steve Box, delivers a story worthy of the 85-minute running time, although it stretches the act a bit; the formula plays better shorter, but the literally hand-crafted film is a joy to watch. Taking a chapter from classic horror films, a giant were-rabbit is soon on the prowl, and the town is up in arms, what with the annual vegetable contest close at hand. (Anyone who's seen the previous three shorts knows who saves the day.) Never content to do something simply when the extravagant will do, W&G's lives are filled with whimsical Rude Goldberg-style devices, and the opening number showcasing their alarm system is pure Aardman Animation at its finest. Even though there's a new twist here--a few mild sight gags aimed at adults--this G-rated film will delight young and old alike as Park, like team Pixar, seems incapable of making anything but an outstanding film. --Doug ThomasSee more clay animation and Wallace & Gromit titles...

Wallace and Gromit – Quirky British Charm at Its Best
Wallace and Gromit never get old! The claymation style is charming, the humor is clever, and the characters are lovable in the most endearing way. It’s smart, funny, and delightfully weird—in the best possible way. Great for kids and adults who appreciate good storytelling and a little old-school whimsy. Highly recommend!

Always a fun watch
This movie never fails to make me smile and even laugh out loud! One of my son and my favorite "fun" movies. Just hilarious. Understated comedy, great voice talent, cute and quirky plot, and with Aardman's signature stop-motion-esque animation style. Very entertaining. Recommend!

A classic!
This was my introduction to Wallace and Gromit, two very charming characters. Wallace, a cheese-obsessed British chap, and Gromit, his silent but very expressive sidekick dog (who can make tea, drive, etc.) have a humane pest control business named "Anti-pesto." Yes the puns run rampant throughout this film, from the jar of "Middle Age Spread" on the kitchen table, to the classic novels with altered cheese-themed titles ("Waiting for Gouda," "Grated Expectations," etc.)among many others. The film is rich with texture and humor. The sets are delightful, from the charming British neighborhoods to the manor house of Lady Tottington. The plot is about an experiment of Wallace's that goes awry leading to the creation of a giant, vegetable devouring rabbit that comes out at night with the full moon and devours the gardens of the townfolk, including the prized oversize vegetables they're nurturing for a vegetable competition at Tottington's estate. Tottington summons Anti-pesto to contain the beast, much to the chagrin of her bunny-blood-thirsty hunter fiance, Victor Quartermaine, who would love to "bag her bunny" and be the local hero with a furry trophy. The film is beautiful to watch and full of visual humor and clever dialogue and gags of all sorts. Pay attention to Lady Tottington's outfits suggestive of certain vegetables and some mild humor in the style of Benny Hill. Be sure to read anything in print--the tongue-in-cheek humor is planted throughout the film. The music score is wonderful and the filming style is very effective. Be sure to watch the behind the scenes video to gain an appreciation of how painstakingly and lovingly the film was put together by its creators. My husband and 3 year old daughters love this movie. There's humor for everyone, any gender, any age. We watch it all the time. Enjoy!

One of the all time greats
This movie is just awesome. Detail is incredible. I was honestly too distracted by how good the sets looked. The craftsmanship makes me go crazy, and I suspect they might've used some black magic

Perfect
I loved this movie as a kid and it is amazing to have a physical copy now. Unfortunately sometimes services take it offline and I didn't want to try and pirate it. Thankfully I was able to find a DVD for myself!!

Absolute Fun for Ages 5 to 90!
Wallace and Gromit are an endearing pair. This movie continues the antics and adventures of Wallace, an English tinkerer and inventor and his canine sidekick, Gromit, a dog who never says a word but floods the screen with emotions and commentaries with his facial expressions.In this movie, they create a company dedicated to the humane removal and disposal (by letting them go in the country) of rabbits and other vermin.They scramble to rid the town of a rabbit invasion which is destroying everyone's prize vegetable gardens. It is a movie that will tug at the heartstrings and evoke laughter in children and adults alike.If you like this movie, be sure to see their original Claymation trilogy: "The Wrong Trousers", "A Grand Night Out" and "A Close Shave". Nick Park, the creator of the pair, won awards for the countless hours invested in making this rag-tag duo a favorite.
