The Return of Wallace and Gromit
blamanj writes "Aardman Studios have release the first peek (Quicktime) at the new Wallace & Gromit film, Curse of the Wererabbit. 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. Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter supply lead vocals. Character creator Nick Park co-directs his story."

Hey, be fair.
The visual presentation means a lot, but any truly great feature is made truly great by fantastic writing, characters and voices.
Both Pixar and the W&G crew have these going for them.
Wallace: Cheeeeeese!! Gromit: [Shrug with Upturned Eyebrow]
The folks at Pixar et al are great at what they do, and they put in a lot of detail... but the computer rendering is also responsible for a bunch of the look. Here you have straight-up, old-fashioned hard work, care, and love on the part of the animators.
You sound like someone who hasn't watched the "behind the scenes" DVDs from the Lord of the Rings series (particularly ROTK). Holy crap, digital effects take a huge load of hard work, care, and love, too.
You probably shouldn't click this.
(you do realize this is a joke, right?)
If I weren't an AC I'd mod you overrated for that. Dear slashdotters, could you please stop spoiling each and every joke?
I know, I know, by not doing so you run the risk of being modded troll or a flamebait, but that's part of the game. People will never learn it if they're being spoonfed all the time.
Culture and America should be carefully used together in the same sentence as with the current Presidential Administration, The Head Church Mongers and other over sensitive nutzo's, who are censoring everything and not allowing the diversity of America to prosper. Look at Europe, much more accepting and much better movies at many times. I blame the PTA committee and George W, Monkey Man, Bush lol
About you? Nobody.
