This is disgusting

Currently scheduled for an October release, the slightly-less-than dynamic duo will be putting their talents to work chasing a were-rabbit that threatens the town's vegetables.

Firstly, the term is "differently abled". Secondly, who the hell does Nick Park think he is, enforcing bigoted ablecentric paradigms that reinforce stereotypes of helplessness and dependency?

Please don't forget we're all boycotting the evil media companies.

Speak for yourself, loser. Personally, I try to go to films twice if the media company who makes it is evil, simply to off-set the impact of your boycott.

Back on topic:

Wallace and Grommit never did much for me, but "Chicken Run" was such a hilarious movie that I'm willing to give it another chance when the new film comes out.

Sean the Sheep

I just wanna see Sean...he was the coolest character! Course, since they're chasing a were-rabbit instead of a really mean old bulldog, I suppose I'll have to wait. *sigh*

We'll make an exception. It'll make for A Grand Day Out, especially if I remember to have A Close Shave and don't wear The Wrong Trousers.

I think...

I think that Wallace and Grommet should be boycotted by the slashdot community for their negative stereotyping of penguins as evil criminal masterminds!

(you do realize this is a joke, right?)

Re:I think...

[jestered1]

I'm confused. I'm only half-way into "The Wrong Trousers" and I thought the criminal was a chicken. How about a spoiler warning next time!

Mmm... Helena....

[computerme]

Helena Bonham Carter.

I would watch her read a telephone book on film.

Then buy the DVD too.

Oh yeah. I eagerly await the new W & G flick too!!!

Hardly "slightly-less-than dynamic"

[Jtheletter]

First off, Wallace and Gromit have come out on top in every adventure they've been in, from picnicking on the moon to battling an automatic-trouser-stealing penguin burglar.

And secondly, they are made of clay. It doesn't get much more dynamic than that. :P

Re:So, they're chasing Bunnicula?

[Lemmeoutada Collecti]

As someone else pointed out, Bunnicula was a vampire rabbit. So, in the spirit of questionable movies (e.g. Dracula vs. Wolfman) I want to see Bunnicula vs. Wererabbit!

The penguin will rule them all!
