    Storyline

    • 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.

    Better than Chicken Run
    A very enjoyable film. You can see there's much more subtlety in the characters with regard to facial expressions. The voice actors did a great job, and there are some great gags, some of which are not for children, but are not overt in their adult-ness. Much more empathy for the characters in this film than in Chicken Run. Fortunately, the film is still wonderfully British, so has not suffered from Dreamworks' influence on the production. It is also good to see something hand-crafted on the big screen instead of the raft of CG animated films that usually lack a strength of script; that you could see fingerprints in the plasticine in no way detracted from the quality of the production.
