Wallace & Gromit The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was Wallace and Gromit’s first ever feature film, directed by Nick Park and Steve Box and produced with DreamWorks Animation. Peter Sallis was joined by a voice cast including Helena Bonham-Carter, Ralph Fiennes and Peter Kay. It was a critical and commercial success and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
Wallace and Gromit’s latest business venture – a humane pest-control outfit called ‘Anti-Pesto’ – is booming, but the enterprising duo are finding it hard to manage all the captive rabbits taking over West Wallaby Street.
And now they’ve been tasked with tracking down the mysterious beast that’s been decimating the town’s vegetable plots. With the fate of Lady Tottington’s much-loved Giant Vegetable Competition hanging in the balance, can Wallace and Gromit save the day?

Vege-mania!
16 years after audiences were first introduced to Wallace and Gromit in the animated short A Grand Day Out, the duo starred in a feature film. The original film title was ‘The Great Vegetable Plot’ but this was later changed to appeal to a wider, international audience. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit went on to be nominated for 37 awards internationally and topped the worldwide box office for three weeks.
