Money cannot overcome bad writing. The recent Star Wars trilogy is the perfect example of this. They spent almost 1 billion dollars on those three movies, but they couldn't even meet basic writing requirements such as developing a good villain.

Honestly, the Aardman watermark is really high. Curse Of The Were-Rabbit is absolutely stellar, down to things like the scene compositions and lighting.

This scene is the best thing on film. From the setup to the best chase, to the stupendous conclusion, all enhanced by a stunning sound track.

It really pulled out all the stops.

On that point, Eddache recently did a really good video on what went wrong between Dreamworks & Aardman, its worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGvx1JrqJmU

I believe a few directors (perhaps Edgar Wright?) have cited this scene as an inspiration for their action scenes. It does a lot of things well: it has a clear overarching narrative but also gives the characters small problems to solve on the way, the action is funny and thrilling, and the geometry is always clear.

One of my absolute favourite things about this scene is the way they hugely exaggerate the size of the space, as scenery whips past the characters at breakneck pace. It’s silly in a way that works so well.
