Cracking news: Wallace & Gromit are returning to UK cinemas with a release of Wallace & Gromit: Curse Of The Were-Rabbit.
The triumphant return of Wallace & Gromit to screens at the end of last year culminated in the sublime Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, comfortably one of the best films of 2024. Directed by Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, and produced by the wonderful team at Aardman, I can’t be alone in having already watched it multiple times. I intend to watch it many times more.
The film only got a brief cinema release in the UK before heading to BBC One and BBC iPlayer, but two decades ago, the terrific Wallace & Gromit: Curse Of The Were-Rabbit got a full big screen outing. And, this April, it’s getting a fresh outing on the big screen to mark its birthday.
The folks at Park Circus will be re-releasing Wallace & Gromit: Curse Of The Were-Rabbit in UK cinemas on 18th April 2025. It doesn’t look like it’s going to be a particularly wide release, with the listing at the moment suggesting just north of 25 cinemas around the country. But it’s worth having a word with your local to see if they’ll show it, as new DCPs are likely doing the rounds as part of the re-release. As it stands, it’s likely to be playing in bigger towns and cities.
It’s such a cinematic film though, and as better people than me have pointed out, beautifully shot. Hopefully, lots of opportunities present themselves to see it on a huge screen.
We’ll leave you with the trailer, and the synopsis. Like you need either.
And the very brief synopsis…
Wallace and his loyal dog, Gromit, set out to discover the mystery behind the garden sabotage that plagues their village and threate ns the annual giant vegetable growing contest.
Cracking…
