Eccentric inventor
Wallace (voice of
Peter Sallis) and his faithful if often perplexed dog
Gromit are back in their first feature-length adventure from animator
Nick Park.
Wallace and
Gromit have launched a new business venture just in time for a major gardening competition in their neighborhood of West Wallaby. "Anti-Pesto" is a humane pest-relocation service in which
Wallace and
Gromit capture rabbits and other critters who have been eating the produce from local gardens and give them new homes somewhere else. Business has been going well, and when the woman hosting the garden show,
Lady Tottington (voice of
Helena Bonham Carter), discovers a massive tribe of rabbits has been making a mess of her garden, she calls in
Wallace and
Gromit to move the bunnies elsewhere.
Wallace is quite taken with
Lady Tottington, but he's not the only one --
Victor Quartermaine (voice of
Ralph Fiennes) is a slick but arrogant upper-class type who wants to win
Lady Tottington's hand (and fortune) and is convinced he can do a better job capturing the rabbits than
Wallace. However,
Wallace's attempts to brainwash the rabbits away from veggies using his latest invention has disastrous results, and soon
Wallace has to deal with a beastly bunny as well as a heavily-armed
Quartermaine.
Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit followed
Park's previous film with the duo,
A Close Shave, by ten years, and was produced after
Park broke through to mainstream success with the feature
Chicken Run.
