strredwolfI'm actually typing this inside of a Starbucks in DC, because I wasn't sure there was a Starbucks with WiFi at my local Muvico and partly because I wanted to travel a bit away and get some air. I just finished watching Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the WereRabbit and I will say, I throughly enjoyed it.
You see, there's a few things I do like about the origional W&G shorts -- one of them is the contraptions. I've always been a fan of working Rube Goldberg machines (most simplest things in 20 steps or more), and I must say Nick Parks is the rightful heir to Mr. Goldberg's throne. He has elevated the art from paper and flat imagery to 3D claymation. The additions of several injokes and much of Gromit's actions speak volumes. I could spend all day picking apart the movie, but I don't have the time: I'm watching Serenity at 4:05pm today.
Is it worth it? Yes. Bring your kids too, they'll love it also. Just make sure if you go by yourself, you stay through the credits. You'll want to see the ending.
