And with the eagerly anticipated Giant Vegetable Competition approaching, the townsfolk couldn't be happier that the duo is hard at work. That includes wealthy socialite Lady Tottington (voice of HELENA BONHAM CARTER) whose estate is literally hopping with bunnies, thus endangering her prized veggies she plans to enter into the competition.
Her snooty suitor, Lord Victor Quartermaine (voice of RALPH FIENNES), would just as soon shoot the bunnies, but Wallace has invented a giant vacuum system that sucks the rabbits from their burrows after which the pests are stored in the inventor's basement. Wallace has also created a lunar-powered brain manipulator device that he hopes will transform the bunnies into vegetable friendly beings. Unfortunately, things go terribly wrong during a test of the device, leaving Wallace with increasing rabbit traits and a test bunny with the apparent tendency to metamorphose into the giant and ravenous, veggie consuming Were-Rabbit.
With Wallace otherwise incapacitated by his new state and the gargantuan bunny now on the loose and eating up the townsfolk's veggies, it's up to Gromit to save the day and all of the vegetables as the Giant Vegetable Competition arrives.
A big game hunter tries to shoot the gargantuan Were-Rabbit, while various characters strike or otherwise hit others and some property damage occurs (all played for comedy or action and adventure).
Those scenes, other moments of peril (including a major character briefly appearing to be dead with others reacting to that) and some playful, scary/spooky scenes might be unsettling, suspenseful or frightening to very young kids, but everyone else likely won't have that much of a similar reaction, if at all.
Some potentially imitative behavior is present, the villain has bad attitudes, and various characters hold unlit pipes while one may drink something alcoholic in celebration (but that's never clarified either way).
