In January 2022, a stand-alone sequel feature film was announced, which is due to release in 2024 on Netflix worldwide, except for the UK, where it will premiere first on the BBC before also coming to Netflix at a later date. It also received critical acclaim and won a number of film awards including the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, making it the second and last film from DreamWorks Animation to win that award. While the film was considered a box-office disappointment in the US by DreamWorks Animation, it was more commercially successful internationally.
The film features an expanded cast of characters relative to the previous Wallace and Gromit shorts, with a voice cast including Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes. However, the duo soon find themselves against a giant rabbit consuming the town's crops. They come to the rescue of their town plagued by rabbits before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition. The film centres on good-natured yet eccentric cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his intelligent quiet dog, Gromit, in their latest venture as pest control agents. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is a parody of classic monster movies and Hammer Horror films and also serves as part of the Wallace and Gromit series, created by Park. The film premiered in Sydney, Australia on September 4, 2005, before being released in cinemas in the United States on 7 October 2005 and in the United Kingdom a week later on October 14, 2005. It was the last DreamWorks Animation film to be distributed by DreamWorks Pictures, as the studio spun off as an independent studio in 2004 until being acquired by Universal Pictures in 2016. It was directed by Nick Park and Steve Box (in Box's feature directorial debut) as the second feature-length film by Aardman, after Chicken Run (2000). Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is a 2005 stop-motion animated supernatural comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and Aardman Animations.
