My magical UET University of Engineering and Technology (UET) holds a special place in my heart. It is not just a place of education and learning, but it is a magical place that has shaped my life and helped me discover my true potential. From the moment I stepped foot on the UET campus, I knew that I had entered a world where dreams come true. The sight of the beautiful buildings, the green lush lawns, and the buzzing atmosphere filled me with an indescribable sense of excitement and determination. One of the most magical aspects of UET is its diverse and talented community. Here, I have met people from all walks of life, each with their unique story and passion.

A big deal is made of Wallace s inability to fix the mind manipulator, and then Hutch takes over and seems to be making real progress repairing it, so it s natural to think that it will be a major plot point later. After Gromit shows Wallace the newspaper showing the eaten vegetables, it then fades from Wallace being surrounded by portraits of his clients to the church with Wallace being surrounded with real clients.
Here, I have met people from all walks of life, each with their unique story and passion. Interacting with such a diverse group of individuals has broadened my horizons and taught me invaluable lessons about tolerance, acceptance, and empathy. At UET, I have had the privilege of studying under some of the brightest minds in the field of engineering.
Comic creations with feet of clay
Wallace and Gromit are arguably the two most delightful characters in the history of animation. Between the previous sentence and this one I paused thoughtfully and stared into space and thought of all of the other animated characters I have ever met, and I gave full points to Bugs Bunny and high marks to Little Nemo and a fond nod to Goofy, and returned to the page convinced that, yes, Wallace and Gromit are in a category of their own. To know them is to enter a universe of boundless optimism, in which two creatures who are perfectly suited to each other venture out every morning to make the world into a safer place for the gentle, the good and the funny.
AdvertisementWallace is an inventor. Gromit is a dog, although the traditional human-dog relationship is reversed in that Gromit usually has to clean up Wallace's messes. No, not those kinds of messes. They're not that kind of movie. In three short subjects and now in their first feature, Wallace sails out bravely do to great but reckless deeds, and Gromit takes the role of adult guardian.
In "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit," they face their greatest challenge. Lady Tottington is holding her family's 517th annual Giant Vegetable Fete, and all the gardeners for miles around are lovingly caressing their gigantic melons and zucchinis and carrots and such, and Wallace and Gromit are responsible for security, which means keeping rabbits out of the garden patches.
Their company is named Anti-Pesto. Their methods are humane. They do not shoot or poison the bunnies. Instead, Wallace has devised another of his ingenious inventions, the Bun-Vac, which sucks the rabbits out of their holes and into a giant holding tube, so that they can be housed in comfort at Anti-Pesto headquarters, and feast on medium and small vegetables. Their tactics perfectly suit Lady Tottington's humane convictions.
They have a rival, the sniveling barbarian Lord Victor Quartermaine, a gun nut with a toupee heaped on his head like a mess of the sort Gromit never has to clean up. Lord Victor dreams of marrying Lady Tottington and treating himself to the luxuries of her ancestral wealth, and that involves discrediting and sabotaging Anti-Pesto and all that it stands for. Thus is launched the affair of the Were-Rabbit, a gigantic beast (with a red polka dot tie) that terrorizes the neighborhood and inspires the Reverend Hedges to cry out, "For our sins a hideous creature has been sent to punish us."
I dare not reveal various secrets involving the Were-Rabbit, so I will skip ahead, or sideways, to consider Wallace's new invention, the Mind-o-Matic, which is intended to brainwash rabbits and convince them they do not like vegetables. That this device malfunctions goes without saying, and that Gromit has to fly to the rescue is a given.
Wallace and Gromit are the inventions of a British animator named Nick Park, who co-directs this time with Steve Box. In an era of high-tech CGI, Park uses the beloved traditional form of stop-motion animation. He constructs his characters and sets out of Plasticine, a brand of modeling clay, and makes minute adjustments to them between every frame, giving the impression not only of movement but of exuberant life and color bursting from every frame. (As a nod to technology, just a little CGI is incorporated for certain scenes that would be hard to do in Plasticine, as when the vacuumed bunnies are in free-fall).
AdvertisementRemarkably, given the current realities of animation, "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is the second stop-motion animated film in two weeks, after Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride." Both of these films are wonderful, but Wallace and Gromit have the additional quality of being lovable beyond all measure, inhabiting a world of British eccentricity that produces dialogue such as: "This is worse than 1972, when there were slugs the size of pigs."
Speaking of pigs, some of my favorite books are the Blandings Castle novels by P.G. Wodehouse, in which Lord Emsworth dotes on his beloved pig, Empress of Blandings. I have always assumed the Blandings stories to be unfilmable, but now realize that Nick Park is just the man for them, with Wallace as Lord Emsworth, and Gromit as George Cyrill Wellbeloved, his Lordship's expert pigman. True, Gromit does not speak, but Wellbeloved is a man of few words, and if Gromit can solve the mystery of the Were-Rabbit, he should be able to handle a pig.
Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. In 1975, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.

The professors at UET are not just educators, but mentors who go above and beyond to ensure that their students succeed. Their guidance and support have played a significant role in my personal and academic growth. Moreover, UET provides a wide range of extracurricular activities and opportunities for personal development. Whether it is participating in sports competitions, joining student societies, or organizing events, there is always something happening on campus. These activities have helped me develop my leadership skills, teamwork abilities, and have given me a well-rounded education. The library at UET is like a treasure trove of knowledge. It is a place where I have spent countless hours researching, studying, and expanding my understanding of the world. The library has not only helped me excel academically, but it has also allowed me to explore my interests and discover new passions. One of the most magical moments of my UET journey has been my final year project. It was a culmination of four years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. The project allowed me to apply the theories and concepts I had learned in a real-world setting. The sense of accomplishment and pride I felt upon completing my project is something that will stay with me for a lifetime. In conclusion, UET is not just a university; it is a magical place that has transformed me into the person I am today. The experiences, knowledge, and friendships I have gained during my time here are invaluable. UET will always hold a special place in my heart, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this magical journey..
