Firm animation favourites Wallace and Gromit are back in their first ever full length feature film.

The Curse of the Were-Rabbit sees our hapless hero Wallace and his faithful side-kick Gromit in a new role as humane pest controllers Anti-pesto.

And their expertise couldn't have come at a better time with the village giant vegetable show just around the corner.

But something is lurking in the shadows, waiting to munch it's way through the prize veg - has Anti-pesto bitten off more than it can chew?

Nick Park returns with Steve Box and Aardman productions to bring Wallace and Gromit to the big screen.

More than five years in the making, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit has been painstakingly produced by hand and is clay animation at its absolute best.

Ten years after first producing A Close Shave, Nick Park has perfected his talent with only some minor help from the technical team at Dreamworks.

Each facial expression tells a tale and none more so than the mute dog Gromit.

With every credit to the animators, Gromit's eyes and ears do more talking than any voice ever could.

The only non-talking character, Gromit is a firm favourite with adults and children alike. I challenge anyone to watch the dancing rabbit scene and not laugh out loud.

This is one of the film's major strengths, as it plays to audiences on many levels, from all age groups.

Playing on the archetypal Hammer House of Horror genre The Curse of the Were-Rabbit cleverly takes the best from iconic films, including King Kong and The Matrix.

Its humour is based as much around what characters say as what we see. Keep a close eye on the backdrops for hidden gems!

An all-star cast help keep the film in the best-seller listings with Wallace, voiced by Peter Sallis, joined by Ralph Fiennes as Lord Victor Quartermaine and Helena Bonham Carter as Lady Tottington.

Other new village characters include

Peter Kay as Pc Mackintosh, Liz Smith as Mrs Mulch and Nicholas Smith as The Rev Clement Hedges.

He gets most of the more provocative one-liners although Lady Tottington complaining Lord Victor doesn't appreciate her 'produce' while standing in front of huge melons has to be seen to be believed.

With Wallace still inventing gadgets to make his life easier and the world a better place, this is your ultimate feel good movie.

Audiences laugh from start to finish and its warm welcome in America stems from its portrayal of quintessential England where the streets are still cobbled, homefires burn and a good local bobby pounds his beat.

And if this wasn't enough to make this a must-see film, remember for each scene Nick Park and his team move our heroes just a millimetre at a time, each day's work producing only seconds for the film.

A surefire hit for all the family.
