[CLAYMATION] Nick Park is a British animation artist who does amazing and remarkable pictures using clay, that ancient substance most thought relegated to Gumby and Davey and Goliath. His greatest achievement, Wallace & Gromit, deals with a bumbling technical genius named Wallace and his shrewd but silent dog Gromit. Producing three half-hour shows, and now the movie Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Park managed to merge Hitchcock suspense, wry humor and meticulous Rube Goldberg devices with Jerry Bruckheimer pacing. The result is a genuine white-knuckle thriller, made entirely of soft, colorful, molded clay. Stars Helena Bonham-Carter and Ralph Fiennes. Rated G/85 minutes. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]
