Wallace and Gromit


"Wallace and Gromit" creator Nick Park talks about his Oscar nomination, nutty inventions and jokes that foreigners don't get.

In a year full of big blockbusters and heavy message films, "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" offered audiences something altogether different: pure fun. The claymation confection, starring a quirky cheese-loving inventor and his mute but remarkably expressive dog, emerged not just as an Oscar contender, but also as the best-reviewed movie of 2005. The second feature-length film from writer/director Nick Park (the first was 2000's exuberant "Chicken Run"), "Were-Rabbit" scored a 95 percent positive rating with critics, according to an amalgamation of the film's reviews compiled by RottenTomatoes.com, which ranks films based on their critical reception.
