20 years later, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is still as clever and funny as it was in 2005

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

It's been 20 years since Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit first graced our screens, and it's still one of the sharpest and funniest horror comedies – and animated movies – ever made. Now, to celebrate two decades of Hutch the talking rabbit and Philip the dog's change purse, repertory film specialists Park Circus are bringing the movie back to theaters.

Co-directors Nick Park and Steve Box referred to the movie as the world's "first vegetarian horror film", and it combines typical Aardman stop-motion charm with classic monster movie parody. The titular pair's latest scheme is 'Anti-Pesto', a humane pest control company that protects local residents' vegetable patches from hungry rabbits ahead of the annual giant vegetable competition at Tottington Hall. Their weapon of choice is the 'Bun-Vac 6000,' a giant vacuum that sucks up rogue bunnies and traps them in a large glass container, before they're deposited in hutches back at Wallace's house.
