Something wicked this way hops

Last night, courtesy of Queue, I got to see Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Not surprisingly, lots of fun. I mean, how could I not like a movie with this much cheese punnage? And more of Wallace's weird inventions, and Gromit's amazing expressiveness despite lack of mouth. Plus, cute bunnies. And one really big bunny... Somehow this movie struck me as much more full of color than the other Wallace & Gromit adventures. Of course, it helps that the focus was on lots of competition vegetables.

Before the movie was a 10-minute short, "A Christmas Caper," featuring four penguins (who seem to be from Madagascar; maybe I should try to see that sometime). Very cute (once the projectionist had fixed the sound balance), incredible slapstick. And who knew that camels were Jewish?

I think the screening was sponsored by Mix98.5 (radio station): there was a guy from the station asking trivia and such to win prizes. Which is why I have a Gromit mask, and got to hear Queue do a Wallace imitation.

Whee!

Yeah, the trailers suggest that those are the Madagasgar penguins.

What was the trivia question you answered?

I didn't answer a trivia question, actually, since the masks were being given out as we walked in. (I should learn to write more clearly...)
