...Wallace and Gromit shorts were intimate affairs: the man, the dog and one or two other characters. Were-Rabbit creates a panorama of rural England: dozens of humans with the standard Nick Park facial expression (dazed) and eccentricities (too much mouth and not enough teeth). Aardman's feature films are sponsored by the Hollywood studio DreamWorks, but their tone and humor are totally, defiantly, blitheringly English, in a manner reminiscent of the classic Ealing comedies.

Behind the wheel of a musty camper van emblazoned with his smiling face, the personable Key is talking about the quirks of his rural electorate by the sea, with its mix of farmers, retirees, Auckland workers and alternative lifestylers - and about the main contest. "We have to create a bigger economy, not just change the way we slice it up." Yes, the tax package he designed is offering big tax cuts. No, the government won't have...
