NEW YORK REVIEW
In Wallace, the cheese-loving, cardigan-sweatered London-suburban inventor, and Gromit, his wiser-than-his-master dog, animator Nick Park has created a stop-action claymation Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, with a good slice of Monty Python absurdism slathering the sight-gags. In their feature-film debut, the duo does battle with the menacing rodent-monster of the title, whilst protecting the entries in the town’s Giant Vegetable Competition and winning the affection of the alluring, if dentally impaired, Lady Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter in full, fruity voice). If the puns sometimes strain—W&G’s extermination company is called Anti-Pesto; Wallace’s library includes the novels Grated Expectations and Fromage to Eternity—the meticulous detail of Park’s Aardman Animation (how do they get clay to reveal the texture of rug fabric and leather car seats?), combined with the ceaseless flow of jokes and action, make Were-Rabbit a pungent delight. Now, how about a cuppa tea and toast with some "Middle-Aged Spread"?— Reviewed by Ken Tucker, New York Magazine
