The supernatural curse of the were rabbit is a fascinating and terrifying legend that has been passed down through generations. According to the legend, a person can be cursed with the ability to transform into a rabbit during the full moon. This transformation is said to be involuntary and accompanied by the loss of rational thought and control. The legend suggests that the curse is the result of a witch's curse or a punishment from the gods. It is believed that those who have been cursed with the ability to turn into a rabbit are destined to roam the earth as a fearsome creature, spreading chaos and terror wherever they go. The curse of the were rabbit is said to be particularly dangerous because of the creature's insatiable appetite for destruction.
Park has dispelled two niggling doubts with his rather inspired Curse of the Were Rabbit. The first is: can Wallace and Gromit sustain an eighty-five minute feature (absolutely, yes – even though it's Gromit's movie through and through) and secondly can anyone work with Dreamworks' Jeffrey Katzenberg and stop their movie becoming a generic tossed salad designed to 'homage' recent Hollywood and leave story sense and characters to care for out of the mix? Well, aside from a relatively painless invasion of the CG penguins from Madagascar (a short before the feature) there are scant clues that Katzenberg's paws have soiled the clay. This is Nick Park. This is Aardman animation and this is great, great fun.
As far as the voice talent is concerned, I m reminded of Ewan MacGregor s advice to his co-star Ricky Gervais when they performed for the CG animated Valiant. All the animation and art direction is spot on but in order to create the eponymous were rabbit, a bit of personality transference has to take place not strictly a Wallace and Gromit thing despite the former s penchant for invention.
The curse of the were rabbit is said to be particularly dangerous because of the creature's insatiable appetite for destruction. When transformed, the person becomes a mindless beast, driven by a relentless desire to wreak havoc on their surroundings. This can include destroying crops, attacking livestock, and even endangering human lives.
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit Trivia Quiz
Wallace and Gromit have formed a business to save the vegetables of their village from rabbits. They catch the rabbit as he's after the old lady's precious pumpkin, but as he's being carted away, he gives them a big toothy grin and the old lady realises her false teeth are missing.
2. What is Gromit growing for the Vegetable Show?
Answer: A marrow
Gromit is growing a giant marrow for the fete. This is a very popular and esoteric pastime. The biggest marrow grown was 9st 10lb 11oz - (164 lb 11 oz or over 74kg)! Gromit is hoping to win 'The Golden Carrot'.
3. When the vicar is describing the perpetrator of the dastardly attack on the Harvest Festival vegetables, what is not something he says?
Answer: "A supernatural rabbit"
Victor Quartermain is the one who says it isn't a supernatural rabbit. He describes the rabbit as a big fellow.
4. While Wallace is retrieving the giant 'Lady Rabbit' model from the bridge he's driven it into, Gromit goes and sits in the van and starts knitting. You can tell he's nervous, as the cloud clears from the face of the full moon. He tunes the radio, and what is the song that plays?
Answer: Bright Eyes
The expression on Gromit's face is hilarious! For a character who doesn't speak (he doesn't even have a mouth) he has all the best lines! The song is by Art Garfunkel. 'Run Rabbit Run' was a wartime song, 'White Rabbit' was by Jefferson Airplane and I hope Lita Rosa will forgive me for what I've done to 'Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow-Wow'. If your mother wouldn't buy you a Bun Wun, would you Thumper? Sorry.
5. What is not one of the settings on the van's windscreen wipers?
Answer: Snow
Loam is a sort of soil, and this setting proves very useful when Wallace and the van are dragged down the rabbit hole by the were-rabbit. Strangely enough, no car I have driven or owned has this setting. The van, besides de-ice and de-mist, also has de-mud, which makes it shakes itself clean like a dog. I wish my car had a de-pigeon droppings setting!
6. What is the only item of human clothing the were-rabbit retains after changing?
Answer: A red and white spotted bow tie
The trousers split for the scut before flying off, his feet split the shoes and the y-fronts flew off and hit Victor Quartermain in the face.
7. Victor only has three gold (24 carat!) bullets to destroy the were-rabbit. What is not the fate of one of them?
Answer: Accidentally fired by Phillip (Victor's dog)
With all his bullets gone, Victor is reduced to using the 'Golden Carrot' trophy, loaded into a blunderbuss. But he's thrown off the roof of Tottington Hall by the were-rabbit, who has climbed (King Kong-like) up there with Totty. Gromit to the rescue in an aircraft, pursued by Phillip.
8. Which cheese does Gromit use to bring Wallace back to life?
Answer: Stinking Bishop
Stinking Bishop cheese is made in Gloucestershire by Charles Martell from milk of Gloucester cattle. It gets its name because it's immersed in Perry made from the Stinking Bishop pear. After the film, Charles Martell could have sold his business, because demand for the cheese rose 500%, but he preferred to carry on as he was. Gorgonzola and Wensleydale are both popular cheeses, but I made Rancid Rector up.
9. What does it say on the box that Gromit hastily gives to Wallace to cover his modesty, besides 'Cheese'?
Answer: May contain nuts
This is one of many sight gags in the movie, such as the vegetable shop called Harvey's (Harvey was a film with James Stewart about a giant rabbit) and another called Rare Bits.
10. What becomes of Tottington Hall at the end of the film?
Answer: Becomes a Bunny Sanctuary
All the captured bunnies are released to have the time of their lives and Wallace promises to visit them all frequently. I hope you loved the film as much as I did and you enjoyed the quiz.

Reviews for "The Folklore of Ferocity: Were Rabbits in Different Cultures"
1. John - 2 stars
"The supernatural curse of the were rabbit" was a disappointment for me. The story felt all over the place and lacked coherence. The humor fell flat, and the characters were not as charming as in previous Wallace and Gromit movies. I found it hard to connect with the storyline and was left feeling underwhelmed by the whole experience.
2. Mary - 1 star
I really didn't enjoy "The supernatural curse of the were rabbit" at all. The animation looked outdated, and the plot was trite and predictable. The attempts at humor were forced, and I didn't find any of the characters compelling. It felt like a lazy cash grab rather than a thoughtful continuation of the beloved Wallace and Gromit franchise. I was truly disappointed by this film.
3. Michael - 2 stars
I must say, "The supernatural curse of the were rabbit" did not live up to my expectations. The concept had potential, but the execution fell short. The pacing was off, and the attempts at comedy were hit or miss. Additionally, the storyline felt disjointed, and I struggled to stay engaged throughout the entire film. Overall, it was a lackluster experience for me.
4. Sarah - 1 star
I regret watching "The supernatural curse of the were rabbit." The animation was subpar, with characters that lacked depth and emotion. The plot was cliché and offered no surprises, making it a rather dull viewing experience. I expected more from a Wallace and Gromit film, but this one failed to deliver. I would not recommend it to anyone seeking an enjoyable animated movie.
