WALLACE & GROMIT
THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT
SYNOPSIS
The cheese-loving Wallace (Peter Sallis) and his
ever-faithful dog Gromit-the much-loved duo from
Aardman's Oscar®-winning clay-animated "Wallace &
Gromit" shorts-star in an all new comedy adventure,
marking their first full-length feature film.
As the annual Giant Vegetable Competition
approaches, it's "veggie-mania" in Wallace and
Gromit's neighborhood. The two enterprising chums
have been cashing in with their pest-control outfit,
"Anti-Pesto," which humanely dispatches the rabbits
that try to invade the sacred gardens.
Suddenly, a huge, mysterious, veg-ravaging beast
begins terrorizing the neighborhood, attacking the
town's prized plots at night and destroying everything
in its path. Desperate to protect the competition, its
hostess, Lady Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter),
commissions Anti-Pesto to catch the creature and
save the day. Lying in wait, however, is Lady
Tottington's snobby suitor, Victor Quartermaine (Ralph
Fiennes), who'd rather shoot the beast and secure the
position of local hero-not to mention Lady Tottington's
