We like it because ...
It can be criticized that it has a not too original argument, it is in a way foreseeable, but against 'Wallace & Gromit. The curse of vegetables' is a movie absolutely funny.
It is a wonder the result achieved by its creators with such a peculiar animation, with great care and where it stands out the great detail of each scene, of each character without losing that traditional and artisan air in no time.
It is a very well defined couple and they get along very well and are characters that immediately captivate the viewer with their sympathy. And the best part is that we adults can find a very peculiar tribute to horror stories such as the werewolf, King Kong, Frankenstein ... but simplified and adapted to the clay universe created by Nick Park and Steve Box (their authors they named it the first vegetarian horror movie).
