Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Ware Rabbit Poster

I really like this poster from Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Ware Rabbit.

I like it because it uses colours that stand out. I also like the way that they used the same font at the top where it says "chicken run" as it is on the chicken run film title.

I think the way that Gromit is reaching out towards the viewer (but actually to the figure casting the shadow) is really creative because it looks like he is trying to draw the viewer into the film.

I also like how Wallace and Gromit seem to keep their character's face as if they were in the film at that precise time (that the poster is actually a film still)

Wallace's face looking as though he actually hasn't got a clue as to what is going on, also how Gromit's face looks as though he is the one doing all of the work - just as he normally does in the short films.

I think that the way that the shadow of the "Ware Rabbit" is going across the title making it look bolder is really clever. It also makes the poster look more frightening because the viewer can't see what the creature looks like (however it does show that it is a Ware Rabbit because of the title.)

I like the use of colours on this poster, they are all bold colours and quite contrasting, white on the black shadow and also yellow on the black shadow and the red on the blue sky.
