Trivia:
Aardman collaborated with the UK based International Austin A30/A35 Register (aka Flying-A.net) to produce a road version of the model van for promotional purposes. Based on a 1964 Austin A35 van, the full size vehicle was fully restored then subjected to a painstakingly careful battering, rusting and discolouring to faithfully reproduce the dents and scrapes as seen in the movie. The work was completed in six weeks.

What-ho! This one is jolly good. I say jolly good, ol' chap. Or should
I say "ol' bean"? My mastery of British terminology is a little dusty.
Anyway, my biker boots and I walked into this screening with no prior
viewing experience of Wallace and Gromit. I'm happy to say that my
boots and I walked out pleased to have made their acquaintance.
While not as adult-accessible as Toy Story, W & G still manages to be
clever enough to provide the grown ups with a little humor that will
most definitely soar over the heads of the young 'uns who are too busy
guffawing at the Were-rabbit's belches to have any clue that something
is amiss. I highly suggest that you pay close attention any time you
see books or words on the screen because there are quick glimpses of
puns that you'll miss if you aren't paying attention. My favorite is a
book of monsters that refers to the Loch Ness Monster as "tourist
trappus." If you've ever been known to say, "I can really relate to
Kevin Federline," or if you're just illiterate then not only will you
miss out on these jokes, but you probably should be spending your time
learning to read instead of going to movies. Consider this a public
service announcement.
The most impressive aspect about W & G is its clay animation. Thanks to
the tedious process, it took FIVE YEARS to finish the film! According
to the press notes, there were some days when the optimum goal was to
merely accomplish 10 seconds of completed film. Folks, I sometimes have
trouble finding the motivation to finish responding to a handful of
emails or adding captions to pictures for my reviews (a point that is
proved by a lack of pictures in this review); so I can't even imagine
having the required patience for that.
I really like the rough, hands-on quality of the claymation figures.
The fact that you can see fingerprints in the clay is a nice, personal
touch. How can you not be impressed with clay characters that show more
expression and emotion than Paul Walker and Keanu Reeves combined? The
Curse of the Were-rabbit is, as director Nick Park calls it, the
world's first vegetarian horror movie that should entertain both kids
and adults alike. Relying on (and as a male who prides himself in his
shaggy-haired, cool-bearded masculinity I hesitate to use this word)
cute and (oh man, I probably shouldn't use this word either) lovable
characters rather than outdated M.C. Hammer references, W & G is proof
that DreamWorks can create entertaining animation when it chooses
cleverness over the cheap joke.
