Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit -- Nick Park and Steve Box
Curse of the Were-Rabbit is one of those movies that I hope becomes a seasonal classic. There's very little that would date it and the humor is pop-culture reference free (something Dreamworks struggles to avoid). Even the famous actors providing voices, Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham-Carter, are inconspicuous.
Yeah, this movie should have legs. And why not? It's hilarious; filled with sight gags and puns and some surprisingly adult humor. The animation is great, seamlessly mixing stop-motion and CGI. Wallace and Gromit are so darn lovable that the only thing preventing it from becoming a classic is if people don't show it (I booked it at my theater last October and it did really well, so that's encouraging).
There's really not much to say about Curse of the Were-Rabbit except that it's aces all around. And Ollie loved the theme song.
