RMS-
I’ll probably have to agree with you, there. Curse of the Were Rabbit is about as British as an animated film
can get (I mean, Wallace wears a tank top! 
) and though I’d usually say that this would therefore mean that
audiences around the world would find it very entertaining not only because of the jokes, but because of the
different kinds of jokes that are made. But it seems that in this case, it didn’t
work as well as it could’ve.
Not to worry though- Nick Parks has assured Wallace and Gromit fans that
they will be back, though whether or not the next project is a feature film is uncertain at the
moment.
vimfuego- It seems as though the split was for two reasons- the money
side, and the creative differences side. It’s possible, perhaps even probable, that if the Aardman films had
made more money than Dreamworks had expected, the deal would still be on and they’d be able to surpass their
creative differences. Also, if they all got on creatively, but had suffered finacially, they still may have
continued. In this case, both factors were negative and Dreamworks just weren’t having any of it, I
guess.
To be honest, I’m pleased- Aardman and Dreamworks represent very different sides of the animation
industry, and it seemed as though they’d never go that well together.
