 CANNES, France (AP) - The latest stars of the Cannes Film Festival have feet literally made of clay. The cheese-obsessed Brit and his crafty canine companion of the "Wallace & Gromit" TV films turned up in a preview of their first big-screen clay-animated adventure.
From DreamWorks and Aardman Animations, the outfits behind the hit "Chicken Run," "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" makes its debut in U.S. theaters Oct. 7.
Though the "Wallace & Gromit" shorts debuted in the early 1990s, had won Academy Awards for short animation and had a devoted following, Aardman opted to do a comic take on "The Great Escape," only with chickens, as its first theatrical film.
