!!Various Trivia:

The movie won the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for "Best Animated Feature", the second [=DreamWorks=] picture to achieve this after the inaugural ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1''. It's also the second non-American film to receive this honour, and the second non-computer animated film (the first in both cases was ''Anime/SpiritedAway''), and would be the last one until ''WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio'' won 17 years later. It also won the British Academy Film Awards' "Best British Film", the British Comedy Awards' "Best Comedy Film", and the UsefulNotes/HugoAward for "Best Dramatic Presentation - Long Form", among many others. It's currently the second highest-grossing stop-motion film ever, behind Aardman's own ''Chicken Run''.

!!Trivia Tropes:
* AccentDepundent: This exchange, which depends on the second character's very posh RP accent.
-->'''Wallace:''' [on phone] Just stay right where you are, Your Ladyship, and we'll be with you in an... ''(gets yanked upstairs)'' Aaahhh!\\
'''Lady Tottington:''' In an hour?[[note]]pronounced "awr"[[/note]] I can't wait an hour. I have a major infestation!
* ActingForTwo:
** Creator/PeterSallis voiced Wallace and Hutch. This is carried over to the various foreign dubs.
** According to Creator/NickPark, some of Wallace's lines were actually recorded by Ben Whitehead, who also voiced Mr. Leaching. Whitehead went on to voice Wallace for specific projects whenever Sallis was unavailable, and became the character's permanent voice in 2010 when Sallis retired from acting altogether.
* CompletelyDifferentTitle: In Latin America, the film is titled "La Batalla de los Vegetales" ("Battle of the Vegetables").
* CreatorBacklash: While neither had ever spoken ill of the film, Creator/NickPark and Creator/PeterSallis have separately stated that the characters of Wallace and Gromit work much better in shorts than in a feature. This could be due to the executive meddling that happened during the production.
* CrossDressingVoices: Creator/MarkGatiss as Miss Blight.
* DeletedScene: One from the beginning of the film. It involved PC Mackintosh coming across a poster for the vegetable competition when walking down the street, and remarking the citizens as "vegetable mad". He would then see a rabbit-shaped shadow behind him and turn around, only to reveal that it was actually a moth's shadow amplified by a streetlight. Creator/DreamWorksAnimation apparently forgot to inform the merchandisers, though, as some storybooks and similar promoting the film mention the scene as if it were in the final movie.
* DirectedByCastMember: The Latin American Spanish dub was directed by Creator/HermanLopez, who was one of the additional voices.
* DuelingMovies: With ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'', another stop-motion film starring Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter. Both films were nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards, with ''Curse of the Were-Rabbit'' winning. Although if WordOfGod is anything to go by, both parties were very supportive of one another. The two films even share [[Creator/MovingPictureCompany the same post-production team]].
* DVDCommentary: With directors and co-writers Nick Park and Steve Box.
* ExecutiveMeddling: This film was really where Aardman began to feel the pressure from Creator/DreamWorksAnimation which would eventually lead to them breaking off their contract two films early. Jeff Katzenberg pushed Creator/NickPark to "Americanize" some aspects of the film, such as the designs of Wallace's car and even replace Creator/PeterSallis with a more famous American actor. He also wanted the film to have DenserAndWackier humor in the wake of the success of ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1''. Aardman politely but firmly dismissed these suggestions, eventually compromising by casting well-known British actors like Creator/RalphFiennes and Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter, while keeping Sallis in the title role, and toning down the British accents. They also re-dubbed almost every mention of marrows to "melon", in the US release, because DWA thought most Americans wouldn't know what a marrow was.[[note]]It's a type of squash.[[/note]]
* ExtremelyLengthyCreation: The film took five years to make. Production started not long after the release of ''WesternAnimation/ChickenRun''.
* KidsMealToy: The movie's Burger King toyline from 2005 would be the last time BK licensed from Aardman.
* NoBudget: The budget for this movie was only $30 million, the smallest budget in Creator/DreamWorksAnimation history as of 2023.
* OrphanedReference: The "veg bad" spiel that Wallace gives to the rabbits in order to brainwash them is meant to completely echo the "cheese bad" spiel he gives to ''himself'' when the Mind-Manipulation-O-Matic first appears. Notice that he doesn't show any interest in cheese after that moment until Gromit used a slice of Stinkin' Bishop to revive him. In the final film, Lady Tottington's call interrupts him just before he turns the machine on.
* TheOtherDarrin: In the Latin American Spanish dub, Alejandro Villeli voices Wallace instead of Alfredo Sandoval.
* RealLifeRelative: Creator/HermanLopez directed the Latin American Spanish dub and was one of the additional voices, while his then-wife Norma Iturbe voiced Miss Thripp.
* TheRedStapler: The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stinking_Bishop_cheese Stinking Bishop cheese]] is featured in a plot-critical moment. Sales of this niche culinary product rose by 500% after the film was released.
* SameContentDifferentRating: While the film received a PG rating in the United Kingdom, it and ''WesternAnimation/SpiritStallionOfTheCimarron'' are the only Dreamworks films to receive a G rating in the United States.
* TwoVoicesOneCharacter: Though Creator/PeterSallis reprised his role as Wallace, Ben Whitehead voiced some of the character's additional dialogue.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The planned opening sequence was much gloomier and mysterious, with shots of the camera roving through moorland while a sinister rendition of the movie’s {{Leitmotif}} played. This was replaced by the warmer and humorous sequence of the camera scrolling through photographs of Wallace and Gromit.
** Wendolene from "WesternAnimation/ACloseShave" was originally supposed to return with Wallace as her gardener, but as production moved on, she was replaced with Lady Tottington.
** The design for the Were-Rabbit was much more ferocious-looking and bigger, but was toned down to make it less scary.
** At one point, Wallace would have written a song for Anti-Pesto, which he would have played on a ukulele early in the Film, and later in bed. Some lyrics in the Song would have also referred to their window cleaning business from "WesternAnimation/ACloseShave".
*** This would've played a part in an even bigger subplot. It would be revealed that Wallace took up the ukulele because he wanted to join a band. Unfortunately, the band kept rejecting him because his playing wasn't good enough. When Hutch begins to act like Wallace later in the movie, he would be successfully inducted into the band, leading to Wallace and Gromit having to get him back.
** One version of the ending would have featured Lady Tottington marrying PC Mackintosh and have Wallace and Gromit dumping the rabbits over the Yorkshire border. In the audio commentary for this particular final scene, [[WordOfGod Nick Park]] stated that test audiences hated it because [[DidNotGetTheGirl Wallace didn’t marry Lady Tottington.]] The supposed DownerEnding was quickly scrapped, but the Yorkshire border joke was reused in a later short.
** One version of the ending [[spoiler: had Wallace left with the rabbit ears after changing back from the Were-Rabbit, necessitating Wallace and Hutch going through the Mind-Manipulation-O-Matic a second time to change Wallace back and leaving Hutch a normal rabbit again. In the final version, Wallace's brief detransformation sequence during his DisneyDeath shows his human ears still having the Were-Rabbit's fur on them during the last shot before he is fully human again. (This is why Lady Tottington's mouth movements don't match when she says, "The Rabbit's gone," as her original line, "In Bunny Heaven" was redubbed.)]]
** The prize was originally a silver carrot since traditionally silver bullets kill a werewolf, which is why some tie-in media shows a silver trophy. It was changed to a gold one during production for the sake of the "24-carat" joke.
** The Victor Quartermaine character was once known as Tristrum, and was originally written into the script as Lady Tottington's son.
* WorkingTitle: The film was originally planned to be titled "Wallace and Gromit: The Great Vegetable Plot". However, it was rejected in favor of its current title due to it being disliked by market researchers, arguing that "vegetables are a negative with kids".

!!The video game contains examples of:
* TheOtherDarrin: Whilst the majority of the cast (even the small roles) have the cast reprising their roles from the film, Victor, PC Mackintosh and Mr. Growbag are voiced by Creator/KayvanNovak, Dean Williamson and Nick Haverson rather than Ralph Fiennes, Peter Kay and Edward Kelsey. Also, despite Peter Sallis reprising Wallace, Hutch is voiced by Ben Whitehead.
