Wallace & Gromit review: Another triumph of pure British silliness, fused with pure British genius writes BRIAN VINER
Almost two decades have passed since the first feature-length Wallace & Gromit film, 2005's The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit.
An unfailingly modest fellow, Park will doubtless try to re-direct the plaudits towards screenwriter Mark Burton and all the brilliant stop-motion animators at Aardman, the Bristol studio where ‘feet of clay’ does not suggest a character flaw, but a month’s hard work. Voiced by Ben Whitehead, replacing the late Peter Sallis but sounding very much like him, Wallace is his old familiar self, living with Gromit in West Wallaby Street surrounded by a plethora of daft Heath Robinson-style gadgets merely to get him up in the morning. Luckily, dim-witted Chief Inspector Mackintosh (Peter Kay, reprising his role from The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit) has a smarter sidekick, PC Mukherjee (Lauren Patel), while Wallace of course has the resourceful Gromit, putting aside his reading matter (A Room Of One’s Own by Virginia Woof) to rescue the reputation of his hapless master.
