Wallace & Gromit : The Movie

Wallace and Gromit


A feature-length Wallace & Gromit movie? Cool. It's scheduled to open on October 7, 2005. According to IMDB, the full title is/was The Wallace & Gromit Movie: Curse of the Wererabbit.

In the film, Wallace & Gromit run a humane pest-control outfit called "Anti-Pesto". Their town is holding its annual Giant Vegetable Competition. A huge mysterious veggie-ravaging beast starts attacking the town's vegetable plots at night. Anti-Pesto is commissioned to catch it and save the day.

I know that this type of animation is very time-consuming but it's been a while. The last Wallace & Gromit I remember seeing was the Soccamatic short in 2002. A DVD with a series of other Cracking Contraptions was supposedly released in 2002 as well but I can't find anything but a few short reviews online. Was this ever released?
