Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is a 2005 British stop-motion animated comedy action film produced by Aardman Animations in partnership with DreamWorks Animation. United International Pictures distributed the film in the United Kingdom, and it was the last DreamWorks animated film to be distributed by DreamWorks Pictures in the United States. It was directed by Nick Park and Steve Box as the second feature-length film by Aardman after Chicken Run (2000).
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is part of the Wallace and Gromit short film series, created by Park. The film follows eccentric inventor Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his intelligent mute dog Gromit in their latest venture as pest control agents, as they come to the rescue of a village plagued by rabbits before an annual vegetable competition.
The film features an expanded cast of characters relative to the previous Wallace and Gromit shorts, with a voice cast including Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes. It was a critical and commercial success, and won a number of film awards including the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, making it the second film from DreamWorks Animation to win (after Shrek), as well as both the second non American animated film and second non computer animated film to have received this achievement (after Spirited Away). It is also the only stop motion film to win the award.
Tottington Hall's annual Giant Vegetable Competition is approaching. The winner receives the coveted Golden Carrot Award, and the residents of the local township are eager to protect their vegetables from damage and thievery by rabbits. Wallace and Gromit apply their inventive panache to running a vegetable security and humane pest control business, "Anti-Pesto", servicing every vegetable plot in town.
