My 2 1/2 son recently started watching Wallace and Gromit and loves the trio of shows and the were-rabbit movie, too!

A Close Shave is a wonderful movie. A definite classic that both children and adults can really enjoy. Definitely add this one to your Wallace & Gromit collection - it's a must have!

These Two Have Got "It", so you better get it! Suspense! Romance! Violence! Sheep! What a personal touch the producers of this series have! 100% Classic. A must-have.

What a fun movie! The sheep are adorable, and I will never hear "Organize yourselves" again without laughing. Charming clever movie that I show all my friends.

I love all of Nick Park's characters in his movies I absolutly love the character Gromit because he aks so civilized. I also enjoy Wallace's loving,care free,and sometimes comical moods.

I have seen all four shorts (A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave, A Matter of Loaf and Death) as well as the full length movie "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit", and out of all of these gems this film is by far my favorite. The pace of the movie is just right, I love the developing romance between Wallace & Wendolene and the movie is chock full of delightful nonstop family friendly humor. Of all the films I also found this one to have the most in terms of exposing non-Brits to aspects of British culture.

Just about the ONLY drawback to this film is that it was meant to be seen in anamorphic widescreen, but Lionsgate seems to have a consistently bad habit of producing almost all of it's DVD's in "pan-&-scan" full-screen only, making a loss of over 33% of the intended picture ratio. I believe Lionsgate's business strategy is to only produce full-screen W&G films to DVD, but to then offer proper widescreen versions on BLUE-RAY disc only.

That aside, of all the W&G films I recommend this one the most and it should be an instant classic for many years of family viewing!
