"It's time we tried my
latest invention, the Mind Manipulation-omatic. It extracts
unwanted thoughts and desires. I haven't tested it yet, but it
should be perfectly safe. Just a bit of harmless brain
alteration, that's all" –
Wallace, regarding his cheese obsession
Why watch this? It's
hilarious action and creativity one scene after another!
Plot Summary:
When rabbits threaten the annual town vegetable competition,
inventor Wallace and his silent but resourceful dog Gromit
launch their new pest-control business, "Anti-Pesto," to
humanely catch the culprits. Their efforts become complicated by
the arrival of an enormous, mysterious were-rabbit that ravages
the town's prize-winning gardens. As the competition judge Lady
Tottington enlists Wallace's help, both he and his rival, the
hunter Lord Victor Quartermaine, race to capture the beast.
Dad's Preview:
In what is obviously an endless abyss of creativity, Nick Park
and his gang of clay-mation maestros do it again. This time our
resourceful, and technology-capable duo, have taken on pest
control to save the town's veggie gardens. This wonderful family
animated film will have you laughing out loud for its duration.
I am fascinated at Wallace's inventions, namely the dependable
BV6000 rabbit retrieval mechanism, with two settings: Suck n
Blow. I also love Gromit's expressions. Being mute, his face
masterfully emotes, often an eye-roll at Wallace's dumb ideas.
It's good clean fun for these two British blokes. So, I hope
you'll give them a watch, and you don't have to be a kid to
partake.
