History YMMV / TheCurseOfTheWereRabbit

* LoveToHate: Victor is a piece of work, sure. But [[Creator/RalphFiennes Ralph Fiennes’s]] pompous and incredibly hammy performance makes him a delight to watch.

%% The death of Peter Sallis does not make Wallace's DisneyDeath an example of HarsherInHindsight, as the circumstances %% of his death were completely unrelated to his character's death in the film.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Peter Sallis was already a well-respected and seasoned British actor, but this was easily his best performance as Wallace.

* ToughActToFollow: Though not universally beloved, most ''Wallace & Gromit'' fans will agree that this is where the franchise peaked. ''WesternAnimation/AMatterOfLoafAndDeath'' is widely agreed to be the weakest installment and the much smaller installments since then have only had limited success in its native England, moreso since Peter Sallis was replaced at the voice of Wallace (and since died). The same argued for Aardman's proceeding feature films in general, as all of them have been {{acclaimed flop}}s at best and [[BoxOfficeBomb regular flops]] at worst.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The morning after the first were-rabbit attack, Constable Mackintosh attributes the incident to arson, then adds "someone [[{{Pun}} arsin']] around!" This becomes less funny when you realise that the Creator/AardmanAnimations warehouse burnt down in October 2005, on the day after this film premiered, no less. [[note]]Thankfully it wasn't arson, just an electrical fault.[[/note]]

* {{Woolseyism}}: While some Finnish translations just directly translate the "May contain nuts" joke as it still works in Finnish, some (such as the one ''Creator/{{Netflix}}'' uses) instead go with "Ei täysin munaton", which not only still uses the food label theme, it takes the joke even further and even adds extra meaning to it. [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Muna" is Finnish for egg, but is also slang for male genitalia. A direct translation back to english would be "[[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Not entirely dickless]]"[[/labelnote]]

* HilariousInHindsight: Lady Tottington and Victor are voiced by [[Franchise/HarryPotter Bellatrix Lestrange and Voldemort]], the latter of whom made his film debut less than a month after this film's release in ''Film/{{Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire}}''.

* EarWorm: The leitmotifs in the score are repeated so often in the movie you'll be humming them for days afterwards.

* HarsherInHindsight: Wallace's DisneyDeath becomes harder to stomach since the death of his voice actor, Peter Sallis in 2017.

* NightmareFuel:
** Both transformation scenes. The second one especially, where Gromit is pinned against the door as [[spoiler:Wallace is transforming and desperately begging him to help him.]]
** The Were-Rabbit's silhouette ominously dissipating in the mist after attacking Growbag's garden.
** The illustration of the Were-Rabbit from the Vicar's Book of Monsters is pretty unsettling.
** The stakeout scene is appropriately ominous. It's eerily quiet, with almost no music or sound. Then, after Gromit tries getting Wallace to come back to the car by honking from him, looking down the tunnel that Wallace walked through, there's a FreezeFrameBonus when he gets back in... but the shadow of his ears (or rather, something ''else's'' ears) remain.

** The reports of Creator/{{DreamWorks|Animation}}’s [[ExecutiveMeddling attempts to give the film an]] AllStarCast, and Aardman’s resistance to the idea, can come across as this when [[WesternAnimation/FlushedAway all]] [[WesternAnimation/ArthurChristmas subsequent]] [[WesternAnimation/ThePiratesInAnAdventureWithScientists Aardman]] [[WesternAnimation/EarlyMan productions]] would rely on such casts (with the exception of the nearly-silent ''WesternAnimation/ShaunTheSheep Movie''), even after the studio stopped working with [=DreamWorks=] and Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation.

[[note]] Granted, this was caused by an electrical fault rather than arson, but still! [[/note]]

* MoralEventHorizon: Victor still keeps trying to kill the Were-Rabbit even though he's aware of his identity as [[spoiler:Wallace.]] If anything, [[spoiler:discovering the Were-Rabbit is the man who's seemingly stealing his girlfriend away from him makes him even ''more'' determined to kill it]].
