lightning strikes twice

I’d only seen the briefest amount of Wallace & Gromit previously, but it seemed like good fun.  The movie version is no different.  Wallace and his sidekick and pet Gromit are Anti-Pesto, the towns best defense against rabbits leading up to the annual vegetable competition.  And it is in doing his duty that Wallace meets and falls in love with Lady Tottington, who he must battle with Victor Quartermaine for the affections of.

After a failed experiment creates a “were-rabbit”, Wallace and Gromit are enlisted to catch the large and troublesome rabbit lest the competition be abandoned.

Light hearted and ultimately very funny, there’s much much more in this film that is right rather than wrong.  The characters are engaging and entertaining, the animation is excellent, and the tone is perfect for adults and kids.
