    • Trivia
      The film required 2.8 tons of Plasticine in 42 colors and 1000 baby-wipes per week to wipe it off animators' fingers.
    • Goofs
      The prices in the fairground scene at the Giant Vegetable Contest are in the old pounds, shillings and pence, showing that this film is set before this form of currency was abolished on 15 February 1971 (indeed, Gromit's calendar in one scene shows that 1 September is a Thursday, so the latest this film could be set is 1966). Yet Pesto's technology uses LEDs, which didn't become available until the mid-70s, and diode lasers, which weren't available to the general public until about 2000. However, Wallace has been shown to be a genius inventor, it's quite possible he invented all of these things himself, long before the items became available to the public.
    • Quotes

      [Quartermaine's hairpiece has been sucked up in the Bunvacc]

      Lord Victor Quartermaine: I want...

      [lowers voice]

      Lord Victor Quartermaine: ... toupée, please.

      Wallace: Oh, grand. We take cheques or cash.

      Lord Victor Quartermaine: Toupée, you idiot! My hair is in your machine.

      Wallace: Oh, no, it's only rabbits in there. The hare, I think you'll find, is a much larger mammal.

    • Crazy credits
      Rabbits float up the screen during the closing credits. On the Sci-fi music, they flash in different colors. On the romantic music, two rabbits act romantic and sometimes fly in other directions. The final line in the credits is "We would like to stress that no animals were harmed during the making of this film", and a rabbit hits its head on the text and falls.
    • Alternate versions
      When it was released in the USA, Wallace's line "How's your prize marrow of yours coming on?" was changed to "How's your prize melon of yours coming on?". This is most likely due to being that marrow was a common vegetable in the UK but not in the US. Strangely, US TV broadcasts such as on Cartoon Network and WGN America keeps the original line as well as Netflix UK prints uses the US version with that edited line.

    The World's First Vegetarian Horror Movie Is Outstanding
    'Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit' is one of the funniest and most delightful films of all time. I've always loved Aardman's claymation and their movies. I adore Nick Park's previous short movies of Wallace and Gromit. Gromit is definitely one of my favourite movie characters. Coming back to this movie, the story definitely follows the horror movie trend and pays homage to movies like 'King Kong' and 'Jaws' (just to name a few). The quirkiness and humour is superbly in tune. It has a very British humour. The characters are strong and hilarious.

    The colourful set designs, props and claymation are remarkable detailed. The music brings an overall energetic feel. The cinematography is great. The voice casting that includes Peter Sallis, Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes is excellent.

    This is Aardman's first feature film in 5 years since the hilarious and adventurous 'Chicken Run' so perhaps one will have to wait 5 more years before the next movie (as the making does take a considerable amount of time). It has been longer since Wallace and Gromit appeared on screen and it was just awesome to see them back with a new mission. Wallace being the inventer and Gromit as his loyal friend and support, these two form a fabulous duo and I believe any new adventure with them would be worth the wait.
