History Trivia / TheCurseOfTheWereRabbit

* 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.

* SameContentDifferentRating: While the film received a PG rating in the United Kingdom, it and Spirit are the only Dreamworks films to receive a G rating in the United States.

* ExecutiveMeddling: This film was really where Aardman began to feel the pressure from Creator/DreamWorksAnimation which would eventually lead to them [[CreatorKiller 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]]

* DuelingMovies: With ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'', another stop-motion film starring Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter. 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]].

* RealLifeRelative: Herman López directed the Latin American Spanish dub and was one of the additional voices, while his then-wife Norma Iturbe voiced Miss Thripp.

** Creator/PeterSallis voiced Wallace and Hutch.

* NoBudget: The budget for this movie was only $30 million, the smallest budget in Creator/DreamWorksAnimation history to date.

** One version of the ending would have featured Lady Tottington marrying PC Mackintosh. 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.

** Peter Sallis voiced Wallace and Hutch.

* CreatorBacklash: While neither had ever spoken ill of the film, Creator/NickPark and Peter Sallis 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.

** 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".

*** This would've played a part in an even bigger subplot. It would be revealed that Wallace took up the ukulele because 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 the Wallace and Gromit having to get him back.

* 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". 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.

** At one point, Wallace would have written a song for Anti-Pesto, which he would have sung 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".
