We saw Nick Park’s Curse of the Were-Rabbit (starring Wallace the inventor and his wonderful friend Grommit the dog) and it was a joyful, mesmerizing, wonderful film that was thoroughly enjoyed by Grandpa, R., the seven-year-old, and M. the mysterious woman. See it, see it, see it. (Watch for the fingerprints in the clay!)

As the film did well in the American market, late last night, Park’s Aardman Studios burned, destroying sets from earlier films. CNN has a story here. Cause is being investigated. A sad, sad event.
