This was an amazing film, it looks quite babyish but if you like Wallace and Gromit you have got to see this film. It's about "Pesto" the great pest control run by none other than Wallace and Gromit!
Suddenly their little town comes under attack by a load of rabbits!!! Wallace comes up with an ingenius machine (as always!) which will hypnotise the rabbits and brainwash them. it features the fantastic quote "Just a bit of harmless brain alteration... what could possibly go wrong!?"
But when his foot knocks the switch the rabbits brainwaves swap with his creating the "were-rabbit" will this challage be too big for Wallace and Gromit? Lady Tottington of Tottington Hall then turns up asking Wallace and Gromit (and Pesto) help with her rabbit problem and the were-rabbit is first sighted. The were-rabbit must be caught or it will ruin the anual vegtable compation which had been running for nearly 500years.

A short note about the movie
Watch this movie now! Just get out of your seat forget this article and watch it. The curse of the were-rabbit is the greatest, funniest, action-packed movie that has ever been created…ever! Forget “The mask of Zorro”, forget “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”, forget every other movie screening at the cinema and watch this.
Introduction to Wallace and Gromit
Wallace and Gromit are two of the most memorable characters ever created, if you haven’t heard of them: you are probably two years old, in which case the chances are you can’t read this anyway so it won’t concern you.
Wallace is a single, middle-aged inventor, whose job varies in each film, with new inventions to aid each one. Wallace is ‘just crackers about cheese’, having a secret store of cheeses, cleverly concealed behind a bookcase. Wallace’s inventions, despite their genius, are known to malfunction, which is where Gromit- Wallace’s canine companion comes in. Gromit is an intelligent pooch, with no mouth, hence his lack of vocabulary. Gromit provides the sensible, but firm conscience of the pair. Gromit is into activities such as knitting, but having to compensate for the faults of Wallace’s machines often disrupts his hobbies.
A History of Wallace and Gromit
Wallace and Gromit started off with short feature length films such as: “A close shave” involving a sheep called Shaun, that wears a woolly jumper made out of it’s own wool by one of Wallace’s infamous inventions, in a fight against an evil sheep smuggler.
“The Wrong trousers” was another example of their work; a brilliant adventure, in which they are very much finacially broke, so Wallace (for money) rents out his house to an evil penguin that disguises himself as a chicken to steal valuable artefacts. Eventually, Wallace, combined with Gromit’s birthday present-some mechanical trousers is involved in the penguin’s thieving antics and only Gromit can stop them.
Their third movie (not chronologically), was “a grand day out”: in which Wallace runs out of cheese and takes a trip to the moon in his custom built space ship, to get some moon cheese. However, they are not alone.
Wallace and Gromit stretches far further than these three films; they have produced many “Cracking Invention” animations: each lasts about five minutes, but there won’t be a second of those minutes when you’re not laughing at it.
Wallace and Gromit the curse of the Were-Rabbit
Note: There is a short production before the Wallace and Gromit movie, which screens the Madagascar penguins at Christmas, in which they go on a mighty adventure to find a present for a lonely polar bear.
The film starts off with an epic battle between rabbit and Wallace and Gromit’s safe secure humane pest control. The whole town relies on the duo to keep their vegetables safe from rabbit’s for the upcoming vegetable contest at Tottingham hall. However Tottingham hall has it’s own pest infestation to worry about. Lady Tottingham rules the hall, and is adamant the vegetable contest is going to happen there, but doesn’t want any harm to come to the thousands of bunnies swarming her grounds. An evil admirer, Victor (a posh villain with a nasty dog), feels it is his duty to get rid of the rabbit’s with his gun, constantly pesters Lady Tottingham! However, when lady Tottingham calls Wallace, who instantly clears her lawn with his genius invention, Victor holds a grudge on Wallace from that point onwards; yet Wallace is too, madly in love with Lady Tottingham to notice.
Meanwhile, back at Wallace’s house, the rabbit’s are becoming a huge problem, increasing in numbers, unable to be maintained in captivity for much longer, Wallace must do something. Luckily, Wallace has another invention tucked under his sleeve, harnessing moon power to control the brains of rabbits to make them hate vegetables! Nevertheless, something goes wrong, a terrible fate is unleashed unto the town as the were-rabbit begins its rampage! It’s now up to Wallace and Gromit to rid the town of this monster, before the annual vegetable contest is ruined, in this laudable conflict between rabbit, Victor, Wallace, Victor’s dog and Gromit.
Will Wallace and Lady Tottingham ever be? Will safe secure humane pest control find out who or what the were-rabbit is and get rid of it? What will lie in wait in Wallace and Gromit’s latest adventure? Go and see the movie to find out…
The End, so waste no further time, go forth to see the greatest movie of all time (no not Barbie and the Nut Cracker), Wallace and Gromit The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit
