Editorial Reviews

Composer Julian Nott has been associated with Wallace and Gromit since their beginning in short films, so of course his signature theme for the duo pops up in the Were-Rabbit soundtrack (try figuring out how many times Nott sneaks it in). This time around, he gets a much bigger orchestra, which perhaps explains the involvement of Dreamworks go-to scorer Hans Zimmer as producer, and also the musical contributions from Rupert Gregson-Williams, James Michael Dooley, Lorne Balfe, and Alastair King. Unlike Wallace and Gromit themselves, who escaped the transfer from short to feature-length film unscathed, Nott's music has lost a bit of its intimate, veddy British charm in the process. This is most obvious in "actiony" tracks like the generic-sounding "Fire Up the Bun-Vac." Sometimes, bigger isn't better. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Claymation Symphony.......2007-06-13

Often soundtrack recordings disappoint by being more electronic keyboard than real orchestra. This CD is quite the reverse. The characters in the movie may be only made of clay, but they get the full symphonic treatment, not just an orchestra, but choirs as well. A great sound. No point in trying to match the tracks to scenes in the movie, just sit back and enjoy. The superb big sound is so magnificent at times it's funny!

Magic.......2006-08-08

In 2005, Nick Park and Aardman studios did what no one thought possible - they created the world's first vegetarian horror movie! When poor Wallace is turned into a were-rabbit, he becomes a terror to the local villagers who are preparing for their annual giant vegetable contest. It's a hilariously funny movie, chockfull of that great British humor.

The soundtrack to this great movie is a real joy to listen to, bringing back the magic of watching the movie itself! My wife bought me this CD, and I am sure glad that she did. I loved the movie, and I love the CD, and I highly recommend both!

British Classical Music is not Dead.......2006-06-28

A blend of Elgar, Britten, Herrmann, Copeland. Too bad the themes are so short. I would love to hear Nott write a full symphony. His marches are so invigorating. After believing that real classical music was dead for so long, it now seems that it lives on after all, in the soundtracks of popular movies like this one.

Wallace & Gromit: CotWR.......2006-06-03

While I missed seeing this movie in theater due to NO BODY in my family wanting to go see it with me, and being forced to babysit my lovely little daughter during the time it was in theaters... my just due came about. My little girl (now 1 year and 8 months now-during the review as of June 2006), does NOT watch Barney, she does NOT watch The Wiggles, she does like Sesame Street some, but what we hear from her the most is "Wat Walice! Wat Walice" Which translates into "Watch Wallace!". So we're graced by watching most of this movie nearly EVERY DAY. She sits unmoving to my favorite duo's plastasine HBO short's new movie nearly non stop, yes, EVERY day! So, while I have the soundtrack on order through here... I feel like I have the soundtrack already memorized! And Nott has done a "smashing" job through the movie with the original heavy-tuba theme we all fell in love with in the late 1980's. Yes, it HAS been that long. From the open title track to the intense thematic music during the "dogfighting" sequence, to even the snazzy "cheeky" verion of W&G we hear as Gromit dances in the van! The music is classic material and just a delight to hear... over and over and over again. While we notice new details in the movie with our DAILY viewings, I've also noticed new details in the score as well through the movie as far as instrumentation and the different styles used. Considering they only recorded about 3 seconds of footage a day, how they mixed the final movie with the music is just simply amazing beyond belief. So until the next movie comes out, I guess I'll be enjoying this soundtrack for years to come, or until our daughter grows out of Curse of the Were-Rabbt... eh, maybe not. I'm 34 and STILL enjoy Nick Park's wonderfull duo! Wonderful music for such a wonderful movie. It's a 5, chuck!

A SUPERB PIECE OF BRITISH CULTURE.......2006-03-16

I donn't know if cd's are getting destroyed when you listen to them frequently (as the plder vinyl records did).If so,i am afraid i have to buy an additional copy of this O.S.T as i listen to this several times a day!
We are talking about a brilliant main theme (we were familiar with this from the three previous short films of WALLACE & GROMIT-A close shave,The wrong trousers,A Grand day out).But the whole O.S.T. consists of "catching" melodies,that make you want listen to the cd again and again.
It is one of the few times that music is "getting married" so succesfully with the movie.
A brilliant piece of British culture.
