The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an animated comedy film that was released in 2005. It is a spin-off from the popular British television series Wallace and Gromit, created by Nick Park and Aardman Animations. The film follows the adventures of the eccentric inventor Wallace and his loyal but silent dog Gromit as they are tasked with protecting a vegetable competition from a mysterious creature. The story takes place in the fictional town of Tottington Hall, where the annual Giant Vegetable Competition is about to take place. Wallace and Gromit, who run a pest control company called "Anti-Pesto," specialize in catching rabbits that threaten the town's gardens. However, their routine is disrupted when a giant rabbit-like creature starts terrorizing the town's vegetables.
These two don't interact much, but Fuu is a great interpreter, along with Hikaru. Fuu is the only one to address Mokona as "Sir Mokona".
After commenting on those who had wanted to become the Pillar or destroy it , Mokona sends Hikaru and Eagle, whose hearts were the strongest, to Tokyo to decide the new Pillar. Mokona Modoki, two characters that appears in two of CLAMP s other works, xxxHOLiC and Tsubasa RESERVOIR Chronicle , were created by the two series Yūko Ichihara and Clow Reed after meeting the original, albeit with slight differences.
However, their routine is disrupted when a giant rabbit-like creature starts terrorizing the town's vegetables. This creature, known as the Were-Rabbit, is believed to be the result of one of Wallace's inventions gone awry. As the Were-Rabbit continues to wreak havoc, the townspeople become increasingly desperate to catch it before it destroys their chances of winning the vegetable competition.

Lady Tottington, the wealthy and kind-hearted owner of Tottington Hall, hires Anti-Pesto to capture the creature without harming it. However, things become more complicated when the local hunter, Victor Quartermaine, is also determined to kill the Were-Rabbit to impress Lady Tottington. Wallace, with his usual enthusiasm, comes up with a plan to use his new invention, the "Bun-Vac 6000," to suck up the Were-Rabbit and return it to its normal state. Gromit, who is always the brains behind Wallace's ideas, is skeptical but decides to go along with it. The duo faces numerous challenges and mishaps along the way, including an encounter with Victor and attempts to keep the Were-Rabbit at bay. Throughout the film, there are plenty of humorous moments and clever references to classic horror films, showcasing the unique British humor that the Wallace and Gromit franchise is renowned for.

Reviews for "From Cottontails to Monsters: The Evolution of the Were Rabbit"
- John - 1/5 stars - The Curse of the Were Rabbit was a complete disappointment. The story was weak and uninteresting, and the characters felt flat and unmemorable. The humor felt forced and didn't make me laugh at all. The animation was average at best, with some scenes looking choppy and poorly rendered. Overall, I found this movie to be a waste of time and money.
- Sarah - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for The Curse of the Were Rabbit, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The plot had potential, but the execution was lacking. The pacing was off, with some scenes dragging on for too long, while others felt rushed. The animation was decent, but nothing groundbreaking. The jokes were hit or miss, and overall, I just didn't find it as enjoyable as I thought I would. It's not the worst movie I've seen, but definitely not one I would recommend.
- Mark - 2/5 stars - The Curse of the Were Rabbit had an interesting concept, but it failed to deliver a captivating story. The characters were forgettable, and I couldn't connect with any of them. The humor was childish and didn't appeal to me as an adult viewer. While the animation was decent, it didn't make up for the lackluster plot and unengaging narrative. Overall, I was disappointed and wouldn't recommend this movie unless you're a die-hard fan of the franchise.
