"Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit" was named best animated feature film at recent Academy Awards.

"Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is the first feature-length Wallace and Gromit film. It was produced by DreamWorks Animation and directed by Nick Park and Steve Box. "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" was shot entirely in Britain.

"Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is in part a parody of the horror genre, and contains many images that parody or pay homage to specific horror films. The directors have oft referred to the film as the world's "first vegetarian horror".

Peter Sallis (the voice of Wallace) is joined in the film by Ralph Fiennes (as Lord Victor Quartermaine), Helena Bonham Carter (as Lady Tottington), Peter Kay (as PC Mackintosh), Nicholas Smith (as Rev. Clement Hedges), and Liz Smith (as Mrs. Mulch). Gromit remains silent, communicating only through body language.

Nick Park told an interviewer that after separate test screenings with British and American children, "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" was altered to "tone down some of the British accents and make them speak more clearly so the American audiences could understand it all better."

Apparently, folks at Acamedy understood them perfectly well.
