RIP Angela Lansbury and Robbie Coltrane, the world is less magical without you two :(
Yes but maybe save your tributes for the Crazy Cartoon Cast
My condolences to Angela. She was a spectacular actress. Even though she wasn't in this film but she was in Beauty and The Beast
She was an absolute treasure and I will miss her beautiful voice.
May they rest in peace.
@Mekhi "Vampire" Loud Angela Lansbury voice Mrs Potts from beauty and the beast while Robbie Coltrane plays hagrid from Harry Potter movies
When I found out that it took 2 YEARS to make that one transformation scene,I was amazed by how dedicated these guys were when making this,
With stop motion, you may only end of filming a few SECONDS of animation in a day.
2 years to make a scene that will last forever
100% worth it
Heck yeah i give Aardman a big round of applause and appreciate there effort in making stuff
I agree with Victor being a cartoon villain but at the same time genuinely threatening at times, I legit got kinda disturbed at some scenes cause just from the way he looked, you could tell that he was actually going to try and *_straight uP MURDER WALLACE._* Even as a kid I picked that up and it genuinely made me kinda scared.
I feel like Victor is a very underrated animated villain. Early on, his scenes seem to be played for comedy with how over the top he can be, but once he shows how serious he is on getting Wallace out of the way of his goals, he becomes a real threat. Truly a memorable transition.
Bro that scene where Wallace turns into the wererabbit and Victor just turns to look at Gromit with an evil grin legitimately scared the shit out of me as a kid. I clearly remember feeling like he was dangerous and I couldn't see the rest of the movie without being scared of him after that scene
omg the scene where he looks through the car windscreen at Gromit TERRIFIED ME
Tbh he's one of the recognizable villains in Wallace & Gromit franchise sadly In DreamWorks he's overshadowed by other great villains
Fun fact: this is not only is the first and only stop motion film to win an Oscar, but it’s 3rd Oscar that the duo won.
The movie felt like an extended Wallace and gromit short but in a good way. I like how this movie shows the relationship between the duo. Gromit always goes out of his way to clean up Wallace’s mess because how much he cares about him. He’s like the father figure to him. This was a grand entertaining feature to watch. Also, I can’t wait to see the new Wallace and gromit movie set to be released in 2024.
Also, I’m sensing your next Review is Tokyo godfathers. Great! It’s an underrated masterpiece of a Christmas movie by satoshi kon.
There's going to be a new Wallace and gromit movie?
Wallace has the greater enthusiasm and technical know-how but is too invested in short-term gain, while Gromit has a respect for the grander case scenario but isn't always invested in immediate matters because of it, yet they value each other's company and their respective breakout quirks often compliment each other very well. That, combined with the fact the film very much plays up a common theme here in the UK of small communities valuing their immediate resources, cements the most crucial qualities of the franchise. Regards, Samuel Farris.
I can't wait for his review on Tokyo godfathers and it's a shame no other stop motion movie has won best animated feature since Wallace and Gormit took home the Oscar in 2006 as I think Paranorman or Frankenwinnie should've won BAF in 2013 over Brave and if Spider verse didn't win best animated feature in 2019 though I'm happy it won still, I would've loved to Wes Anderson's Isle of dogs win but knowing the Oscars, Pixar or Disney would've won so I'm glad spider man got the award instead as maybe G.D. Toro's Pinocchio or HS's W&W could win in next year's Oscars but again they'll be nominated at best but I could be wrong.
It’s also the only other non-American animated film to win Best Animated Feature, the other being Spirited Away. It’s sad those are the only 2 non computer animated films to win Best Animated Feature considering how the Oscar views animation now. I swear the members that voted for the Best Animated Feature category during its early years feel like it was run by people that actually respected animation as a film genre and a cinematic art form.
@@tayloredwards4968 yep i can't believe it
This movie is the true example of why British animation is amazing.
💯💯💯💯
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Britain's animation is something to be inspired by and be awe at with how most of their animated movies are great and something we don't see here from the states.
Is it just me, or is British animation always so amazing, Enjoyable, and charming? Seriously, some of my favorite animated works from England include most, if not, all works by Aardman (this film included), Yellow Submarine, Who Framed Roger Rabbit (The animation was entirely produced in England), and Thomas the Tank Engine, just to name a few. I guess British animation really is THAT enjoyable.
@@arbytv5139 Wow! I didn’t Who Framed Roger Rabbit was entirely British animation. I would have thought Disney’s animation studio did the animation.
I’m glad you recognise this winning a Best Animated Feature award. Keep in mind that Shrek won the very _first_ one despite the competition. *_DID YA HEAR THAT PIXAR!?!_*
I find it funny people always say Disney AND Pixar win too much, but like that's just Pixar cause WDAS first win was in 2013 (then 2014, 2016 and 2021).
Fun fact: It's only happened twice so far at the Academy Awards (2006 & 2012) where no Disney or Pixar film was nominated for Best Animated Feature.
@@andrewharkin9774 I think you mean 2011?
Cause Wreck it Ralph was nominated and Brave won 2012. 2011 idr the nominees but Rango won and KFP2 was nominated but can't recall the rest
@@pokefanalex9504 Yeah Disney doesn't win that much and apparently people say Luca should have won over Encanto. I like Luca but it's not Oscar-winning worthy. I do hope Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio wins the next best animated feature we need a Netflix animated film to win an Oscar but it never happened. Klaus should have won best animated feature imo.
@@frozenthingsstudios2452 Blame Pixar for squeezing out a sequel nobody asked for that coincidentally screwed DreamWorks’ last chance, _their last chance,_ to win that award for the HTTYD trilogy.
Here's some crazy history: DreamWorks, the company that distributed this film, wanted Wallace to have an American impression which Aardman fought against. They also wanted a ton of pop culture references and toilet humor, though twas a fortunate twist when Aardman got what they've wanted and kept Wallace's British voice, thus ridded of what DreamWorks executives intended at first. This was before Aardman cut their ties with DreamWorks upon the box office failure of Flushed Away and became an independent animation powerhouse.
It’s very crazy indeed.
I think that was the best choice considering how nowadays most animated films based on cartoons like SCOOB and Space Jam: A New Legacy have a tendency to replace the veteran voice actors with celebrities for the purpose of marketing. The same thing almost happened with A Goofy Movie where Jeffrey Katzenberg wanted to replace Bill Farmer, the current voice of Goofy, with a recognizable celebrity, but fortunately Kevin Lima was able to convince him to keep Bill in the film.
Powerhouse?
This was their last film
@@aaronfield7899 they are bringing out a sequel to Chicken Run later this year as well as another Wallace and Gromit film in 2025
interesting how it nearly got the doogal treatment.
I loved this movie as a kid and as I’ve grown up I love it even more. Wallace and Gromit’a first feature film was a smash hit! I hope we see them again on the big screen one day.
I still remember the trailer for this:
"Wallace is an inventor who never says die! Gromit is his dog who never says...anything."
And then crickets while Gromit calmly knits in the van
I've seen that trailer before, I thought it was cringey
I was obsessed with this movie when I was a kid, I used to watch this back to back everyday, eventually my dvd copy worn out, but I got a new copy of the movie a couple of years back. I know this movie like the back of my hand. I love the story, music and basically everything. This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and that’s never gonna change.
Oh my god, I'm not the only one...
Curse of The Were Rabbit, like Shaun of The Dead, succeeds brilliantly on multiple levels:
- it's a superbly made comedy
- it's an uproariously funny parody of its target genre
- it's also surprisingly effective as an actual [zombie / monster horror] movie
- it's an entertainingly enjoyable movie, whether being watched for the 1st time or rewatched again & again
- it's an impressive piece of moviemaking from a technical standpoint
In my opinion
The Curse of The Were-Rabbit is a best option to see on Halloween than the Nightmare before Christmas.
As a kid, I LOVED the visuals of this movie, the texture of the produce, how the dirt flies and piles onto the van when it goes underground, it’s all so satisfying that I didn’t quite understand as a kid.
As a child, this was my favourite spooky movie to watch. I remember the scary bits being the beginning with the garden, and the transformation in the woods. This was the first Wallace abd Grommit thing I watched, but I'm so glad that others enjoy it too!!!
Victor Quartermein: I don’t want to alarm anyone but the beast isn’t actually dead yet.
Constable: THE BEAST ISNT ACTUALLY DEAD YET?!?!
….oops.
(Chaos Ensues BIG Time)
I actually remember seeing this movie in theaters and I loved it! This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I hope Aadrman bring them back to the big screen one day. Wallace and Gromit are a perfect duo.
💯💯💯. It’s a childhood fav of mine
@@chasehedges6775 They are the best. In fact I’m actually gonna go rewatch this movie. Thanks Animat!
Well, there's another movie coming out in 2024 on Netflix.
@@aiden417 YAY!!!
Honestly, I’m surprised that they didn’t do a follow-up Wallace and Gromit movie years ago. Seriously- imagine a Wallace and Gromit take on the spy genre.
This movie is the reason why I'm so much into the gothic horror aesthetic and themes, and mainly werewolf stories. What a fantastic way to introduce kids to these topics without scaring them.
Ah. This take me back when I was just a kid. This was my first time seeing Stop Motion Animation way before I gave The Nightmare Before a Christmas a shot and I loved it. Even watching it again as an adult, it's still a classic masterpiece.
The graphics of Luigi's Mansion always remind me of Wallace and Gromit. Such a fantastic movie.
This movie is a childhood classic for me. It’s one of Dreamworks best.
Congratulations, Wallace and Gromit, for your incredible accomplishment with this film. As for the next film, I'm guessing it's a Christmas-related film.
Probably Tokyo Godfathers, it's the only movie with the song "Santa Night, Holy Night" that I remember clearly...
The mark of a successful parody is when the elements are lovingly represented, but the humor stands on its own even without knowledge of the source material
My dad and I saw this together and really had a blast. It’s fun that Ardman decided to let the duo have a feature & it works that they would satirize the Universal & Hammer monster films
This movie is my childhood, this was like my comfort film.
But May Angela and Robbie Rest in Peace.
Finally it’s great to see AniMat bring back the 10/10 rating.
It's too bad he didn't bring back the "Fan Fan."
@@abnormand78 Indeed :(
I think it's "TEN OUTTA TEN!" from the Game Grumps. While I agree that it's a shame he didn't bring it back, I'm not bothered by it.
The scene where the villain stabs the pitchfork into the lady’s hair scared me as a kid and it looked like it very painful
I love this film along with Madagascar because they were both released in the same year I was born, however, they were released before I was born, Madagascar came out months before I was born and Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was released days before I was born, even though I wasn't born when they were both released in theaters, their both spectacularly magnificent and they both definitely deserve the Animat Seal of Approval.
That movie is a childhood favorite of mine, and I still enjoy it to this day. Great crackin’ review Mat!
I remember watching the shorts growing up as a kid, and this movie too. This movie is what introduced me to Wallace and Gromit. This really is a milestone for the duo from the original three classic shorts to a full-length movie.
And also, great timing to review this for Halloween!
Something I found funny was that every newspaper was covered in stories about the vegetable competition, imagine living in a world were big vegetables are considered front page worthy, must be a stress free life.
Before a certain dark blue werehog used to rock Halloween, this gullible but super adorable Wererabbit who toke the eyes of the storm!
*BEWARE OF THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!*
This gave me nightmares as a kid, what a pleasure to rewatch these days
You're absolutely right about this movie working as a horror movie. I remember being creeped out by it as a kid and imagining a giant bunny running around at night when I slept 😂
Wallace and gromit are the kings of stop motion animation, seriously whenever stop motion is brought up or talked about they are the first names you hear, I loved this movie as a kid and still do and I’m beyond excited for they’re new movie coming to Netflix next year, I hope Shaun appears or makes a cameo cause all though he’s best known these days for his show and movies I will always remember him for his first appearance in a close shave
I grew up with this movie. I used to be a DreamWorks fans in the 2000s.
I’m a 2000s Kid and I Agree
I don’t really know what the next review will be, but with the things I’m hearing i’m excited 😊
This is one of favorite DreamWorks movies! I grew up with Wallace and Gromit!
Same here. It’s a classic
But i hate how Dreamworks treat this movie so badly due to Shrek became popular.
Saw this in theaters back when I was 13. The claymation is still amazing.
I read somewhere that Victor was modeled after Gaston from Beauty and the Beast.
Fun fact: did you know that the voice of victor Ralph vinnes was actually voldermort from some of the Harry Potter films, the voice of Alfred pennyworth from the lego Batman movie, and of course the voice of rameses from the first dreamworks film that he was involved as the voice and singer the prince of Egypt?
An all time classic that I love to watch every Halloween.
One of the best underrated animated films of all time! They’re not too many of those out there!
And to think that it came in a golden season for stop motion animation, since it came around about the same time as Corpse Bride. I remember seeing both movies twice within a month.
I still want to see a 1 or 2/10 review this year for the first time in forever and/or a review of the 1992 Tom and Jerry Movie I requested back in 2016
I saw this movie in theatres back then and don't know what's the next classic review?!
I love this movie. The comedy was so good and the bunnies were so funny. The writing was clever, like when we see Wallace after Gromit chased the Were-Rabbit in the tunnels, I still didn’t suspect that Wallace was the Were-Rabbit. Even when I rewatch it, I still don’t suspect him.
While not as successful as “Chicken Run” financially, Wallace and Gromit should still be grateful for Ginger and Rocky. Without them, they would’ve never won themselves a trophy for Best Animated Feature Film at the Oscars. May Peter Sallis, the original voice of the Wendsleydale lover, and David Hartley, Britain’s creamery manager, rest well. Also, I hope AniMat covers the last Aardman film in his classic reviews “Flushed Away”.
Really? I thought that was Arthur's Christmas?
I disagree. Curse of the wererabbit was more successful because it won best animated feature
@@bigmacintosh1766 True, but what I'm trying to say is that while "Chicken Run" was a landmark for Aardman because it's still the highest-grossing stop-motion feature of all time, "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" was also a landmark for the British studio because it's their only film to win the Best Animated Feature at the Oscars. Hope this clarifies for you.
Flushed away? I thought that movie was just average compared to this and chicken run
@@DizzyGamerOfficial I need to see that movie this year
I would watch this while sleeping over at my grandma's house. She and my grandpa are the ones who introduced little me to Wallace and Gromit, and it's such a big part of my childhood. I even gasped when someone in my 7th grade class said they've never heard of it.
Apparently this film was the start of the real conflicts between Aardman and Dreamworks (I recommend the documentary “A Grand Night In”). For instance, this film was initially supposed to have the far, far superior name The Great Vegetable Plot (brilliant wordplay), but Dreamworks pushed to change because, and I quote, “kids don’t like vegetables”. Basically with this film and Flushed Away, Dreamworks was pushing to Americanize Aardmans films, and Aardman being so unapologetically British that caused a lot of friction
I think the title they went with is more descriptive of what happens.
Where's the 10 out 10 (17:17)? It one of my favorite parts when a movie is scored a perfect score.
Easily one of my favorite animated movies of all time and as huge fan of Wallace and Gromit this was dream come true and perfect film to watch on Halloween 🎃🐰.
Rest in peace Wallaces voice actor Peter Sallis.
Wallace and Gromit are truly iconic duo.
Fantastic review Animat and take care and stay safe 👍.
This movie terrified me as a kid.
God i love it.
RIP Peter sallis his voice is what made Wallace the character he is :(
“A…gold bullet?!”
“YES! 24-Carrot!!!”😂
Back in the day... It was a treat watching the original trilogy on Cartoon Theater.
One of my favorite childhood films there! A true classic to this day!
I also love Wallace & Gromit. They're my second-favorite stop-motion characters after Gumby.
I forget, did you cover A Matter of Loaf and Death already?
The movie was released before the (what we thought) last Wallace and Gromit product.
Holy-
This was my childhood! I remember my parents not wanting me to watch it because they thought I'd be scared (I was verrry sensitive as a kid) but every time I watched it I just laughed my head off.
I used to watch this on every car ride! This and almost every bonus feature on the DVD
14:01 This Movie really shows how great and out there Visual humor is. Got damn 🤣
Ohhh I LOVED Wallace and Gromit too as I know who they are the greatest duo in stop-motion history, heck I used to make them out of clay themselves when I was so little.
14:01 Wallace, what are you staring at?
Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is honestly an amazing film as well as one of my favorite childhood movies. It managed to bring Wallace and Gromit to the big screen while still keeping the charm and simplicity the series is known for, and it honestly makes me a bit saddened we haven’t gotten another feature-length W&G movie since it. But hey, at least it doesn’t change the fact that this masterful movie exists.👌🏽
For once, I actually have no idea what the next review is going to be!
What a cracking fantastic movie!! I loved Wallace and Gromit since my childhood years. They were the biggest icons of British animation! The curse of the ware rabbit was definitely a fantastic Aardman movie, and I’m happy the film got an Oscar for best animated feature in 2006
One of Dreamworks best films. Please review Spirit Stallion of The Cimarron
This and "A Matter of Loaf and Death" are the most sinister W&G films
Do you ever get the feeling that this is like a mix between Halloween and Easter? 👻🎃🥚🐰
The decision to give Wallace a Yorkshire accents was an effort to shine a spotlight on lesser represented accents in the UK. Generally in media it's only RP and maybe cockney that people hear.
If I had a brain as a baby, I would convince my mom to watch this as my first movie instead of Chicken Little. lol
This movie is such a classic masterpiece and my favorite childhood movie! :’)
I’m glad this movie beaten the crap out of Chicken Little and won best animated feature film! It’s very rare for Stop motion animated movies to win best animated feature, because you see a lot of love and passion into them, but often get sidelined by big 3D animated movies.
Hopefully that can change since Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio won this year.
Next time can you do the Tinkerbell from 2008 for your next classic reviews
I remember when I rented Shark Tale on DVD, it show both trailers of Madagascar and Wallace & Gromit: The curse of the Were-Rabbit, that was a trip down memory lane. 😅👍
When the movie first came out, I had a phase where I was obsessed with Wallace and Gromit so much that it made me subconsciously like cheese more.
I definteley love this film, it was a spectacular addition to the Wallace and Gromit series. They were able to add in horror elements, but still keep the fun and charm of Wallace and Gromit.
I seriously ought to rewatch this movie, especially to get into the Halloween spirit. Although I did see some clips again recently and it still looks fun. Then again, this is Wallace and Gromit we're talking about, so it's always going to be fun.
❤️💖 🎃 As a stop motion animation fan, I do loved this movie. This movie got me interested and learning more about Wallace and Gromit. I enjoyed and loved the story, the classic stop motion animation, the likable characters, good writing, comedy humor and good music soundtrack. I'm going to watch this movie soon since this is the perfect time for the Halloween season. 🎃 😃😀😄😁😊😉 👍🏻 💖❤️
Stop motion is very underrated in the film industry and Aardman crafts a great stop motion movie every time they come around to show us they're the best in this industry when it comes to stop motion. Enjoy yourself when watching this jolly good classic again and great way to get introduced to the animated duo.
This film, along with the video game Wallace and Gromit in Project Zoo, is what introduced me to Wallace and Gromit. Cool fact: In the video game adaptation of Curse of the Wererabbit, the voice of Hutch is not only performed by Peter Sallis but also by Ben Whitehead, who is now the current voice of Wallace (after Peter Sallis' passing).
Corpse Bride is next
All the Wallace and Gromit Characters have animated MR. POTATO HEAD eyes.😲😳😦😧😮
I still own afew Wallace & Gromit VHS Tapes and DVDs myself
This is the film that introduced me to Wallace & Gromit as a kid as I hadn’t seen the original shorts till afterwards. But for a first introduction, it’s actually really good. This is definitely one of the best animated films based on a cartoon or short series that works well as its own stand-alone movie and you can easily get into even if you haven’t seen the shorts as viewers can still get an idea of who Wallace and Gromit are from their personalities unlike most feature films based on cartoons or short film series which sometimes have the tendency to not give outsiders time to be familiar with the characters or the world they live in and requires them to be already familiar with the original source material to understand what’s happening.
And also R.I.P. Angela Lansbury. You definitely lived a long life and enjoyed a successful career for over 78 years, giving us iconic characters like Mrs. Potts, Nellie Lovett, Jessica Fletcher, Miss Eglantine, Mommy Fortuna, Empress Maria Feodorovna, Great Aunt Adelaide, Nancy Oliver, Edwina Brown, Sibyl Vane and Mrs. Nadia Iselin. Have a nice heavenly rest.

Robbie Coltrane is gone, too. He will always be with his children and grandchildren as Hargid for many, many years. RIP
You know you should do a remake of the DreamWorks or Pixar Animation lookback series like the Disney Animation lookback+. I mean why not? The short bits of animation like when Katzenburg was messing up the black cauldron or when he left Disney were especially good.
I STILL remember watching this movie on it's premiere with my mother at five years old.
In my country (Poland) this movie is criminaly Underrated. HOW!!!?
This movie is my favorite in Aardman animations and best W&G movie.
Masterpiece!!
I renember watching this from day to night as a kid, I used to love it and still love it
Im from Brazil and this movie was such an important part of my childhood, me and my siblings would watch it all the time
Corpse bride is next such a way to come back through the minds of Tim burton and it was also release the same year as this movie and too got an Oscar nomination but this movie have won it
Fun fact: both corpse bride and cars are dedicated to joe ranft who sadly passed away from a car crash so rest in piece sir you will always be a part of the Pixar family 😭😢
Can’t wait for him to review another stop motion film big fan! 😉
Ended up not being Corpse Bride! 😆
Some scenes in this movie always creeped me out as a kid. Like for example when gromit sees Wallace turn in the woods, or the scene where gromit is alone in the town.
I am not ashamed to admit this movie made me cry laughing, especially the parts with the lady rabbit trap. The stupid honk when rabbit-Wallace squeezed the tail made my stomach hurt.
This movie was the movie they would play at my school on pajama day we’d bring are pillows and blankets to school and they made pop corn too seriously great times
Such a great movie. It still holds up as a GOAT Film. I can pop it on anytime and always enjoy it.
This is a childhood favourite of mine, and it really holds up. The shorts are fantastic as well.
From the description, I think your next review is for Tokyo Godfathers. I might be wrong though...
Congratulations! You seem to be the only one who got it right! Everyone was expecting Corpse Bride instead.
Grommet is a complex character but it's all built up by his facial expression
*Wallace and Gromit are fantastic characters in the animation industry🩵❤️*
i hope you review the wild thornberries movie for its 20th anniversary
You MUST review Spirit Stallion of the cimarron!
Apparently, I was scared of Wallace’s transformation in this movie when I was younger. On an unrelated note, this scene keeps getting memed with people putting their own spin on this scene.
The next review will probably be the corpse bride from Tim Burton [2005]
