Trouble is brewing down on Mrs Tweedy's poultry farm: the chickens are revolting (yes ... more
that old chestnut) and clucky hen Ginger (voiced by Julia Sawalha) is planning her latest coop um coup. Getting one or two birds out of the farm is no problem whatsoever. Unfortunately Ginger plans to get everyone out at the same time and when one of the would-be escapees happens to be kind-hearted but bird-brained Babs (Jane Horrocks) Ginger is fighting a losing battle. Despotic owner Mrs Tweedy (Miranda Richardson) plans to turn the birds into the tender filling of her new range of homemade chicken pies and is waiting until the hens have fattened up. Ginger knows that time is of the essence but every daring scheme ends in disaster. Ginger needs a miracle. And fast. As she contemplates her next escape attempt with Scottish engineering genius Mac (Lynn Ferguson) Ginger sees their salvation in the form of a rooster named Rocky (Mel Gibson) if the cocksure Rocky can teach all of the hens how to fly then they can all fly out of Tweedy's clutches before she gives them the chop.

pest and win Lady Tottington (and her wealth) over? Will Wallace and Gromit survive this latest, humongous pest problem?
With its dry English humour, its witty verbal and visual jokes (including references to many well-known classic films), its meticulously crafted and beautifully rendered models, sets and props that impress with their authenticity of detail (the greenhouses, especially Lady Tottington's, are just lovely), its wonderful editing work, its astoundingly smooth and realistic animation, and the exciting scenes of rapid-fire action and suspense a la 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (watch out for Gromit's aerial dogfight in the second half), 'The Curse of the Were-Rabbit' brings you loads of good clean - and a teeny bit of naughty - fun, those fleeting, mildly naughty bits sure to fly above the heads of children. I couldn't stop ...
Advantages: great film well made characters.very funny Disadvantages: None
very good animation. Nick park is great. this film is funny but also has some sad parts. a very well made good family film. no bad language and has a very good story line that is carried out throughout the whole film and does not stray from the story. the characters were good and some were funny looking but overall very well presented. it is very good value for money. it compares well to wallace and gromit but nothing can beat wllace and gromit but this is quite close. if you want a good family film then this is the film to choose.

The Wrong Trousers (1993):
In this second offering from Nick Park and the Aardman studio our dynamic duo find themselves once again in a pickle brought about by another of Wallace's misconceived inventions, a pair of radio controlled automated trousers designed for the ultimate in lazy walking. Unfortunately our loveable pair had not counted on the devious machinations of their new lodger a mysterious penguin and Wallace unwittingly finds himself at the centre of a fiendishly planned jewel heist. It seems it's up to Gromit to save the day.
A Close Shave (1995):
This was the third and up to then the most ambitious of the films made by Park and Aardman Animation studios, both in technical achievement and storytelling. This was really was a precursor for the longer feature length projects of 'ChickenRun' and the recent 'Curse ...
