Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, the first feature-length installment of the beloved British duo’s adventures, marked the culmination of nearly half a century of consistent and inventive work from the legendary Aardman Studios. Champions of stop-motion - and especially claymation - Aardman raised the technique from humble beginnings into a globally recognized, uniquely British art form. From charming short films to global box office success, the studio helped bring clay animation to maturity, and eventually to Oscar-winning acclaim, thanks in part to their collaboration with DreamWorks.

This film is a delightful romp for audiences of all ages, blending high-spirited action, mystery, slapstick humor, and clever wordplay. At its core lies the tale of a mysterious “were-rabbit” wreaking havoc on the vegetable patches of Tottington Hall under the full moon—a parody-rich story brimming with loving nods to classic monster movies and the iconic horror tradition of Hammer Films. The film’s plasticine characters radiate personality and warmth, crafting a whimsical narrative that also touches tenderly on themes of friendship and companionship.

The Curse of the Were-Rabbit won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, cementing Wallace and Gromit as cultural icons and affirming Aardman’s role as master storytellers in the animated realm. Thodoris Karamanolis
