For the Family!

It's 'vege-mania' in Wallace and Gromit's neighborhood, and our two enterprising chums are cashing in with their humane pest-control outfit, "Anti-Pesto." With only days to go before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, business is booming, but Wallace & Gromit are finding out that running a "humane" pest control outfit has its drawbacks as their West Wallaby Street home fills to the brim with captive rabbits. Suddenly, a huge, mysterious, veg-ravaging "beast" begins attacking the town's sacred vegetable plots at night, and the competition hostess, Lady Tottington, commissions Anti-Pesto to catch it and save the day.

I was never fond of the series of Wallace and Gromit, because it didn't "connect" with me. I knew this film would be good but it started off slow. I really wasn't interested in anything but as the film goes on, it picks up and picks up and picks up. It will make you watch until the ending!

I also need to point out that there are many cultural references to this film, but I'm not from the UK so I couldn't spot many of them. Most notable is the King Kong scene, just like another film I've just seen: Flushed Away. This film has twists and turns, leaving the movie really unpredictable and it's also good for adults as it's good for kids.

There are even some funny jokes in the film with some light heartedness. It's a harmless film and might probably the best animated film of 2005. Wait, that (in my opinion), is for Shrek 2, so this one is a runner up. You'll also love the lovable characters.

Children might like the film, adults may want to sit through it if they have some heart left in them. It's funny, witty, imaginative, unpredictable, etc. That's one good film!
