Sex and nudity in Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Contains several instances of mild, comedic innuendo. While showing Wallace her garden, Lady Tottington holds two large melons in front of her chest and later discusses the "silken flesh" of her giant carrot. In one scene, Wallace covers his nudity with a box that reads "May contain nuts." A villain's bare buttocks are also briefly seen in a non-sexual, comedic context. This content is all played for laughs and is likely to be missed by younger viewers.

Violence and gore in Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Violence is frequent but entirely slapstick and cartoonish, with no blood or gore. The primary antagonist, Victor, repeatedly tries to shoot rabbits and later the Were-Rabbit with a gun, leading to chase sequences. Characters fall from heights without injury, are hit with objects (like a spoon), and get into comedic fights. The climax features an aerial dogfight between two dogs flying toy planes from a carnival ride, which ends in a small explosion.

Language in Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Language is very mild. A character mishears the word "arson" and jokes it must be "someone arsin' around." In a quick background shot, a poster for a fertilizer company uses a word that resembles a mild curse word.

Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Substance use is not depicted. One character accuses another of having been drinking the communion wine, but this is not shown. In a running gag, a character holds an unlit pipe but never smokes from it, once accidentally taking a "drag" from a watering can instead.

Mature themes in Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

The main themes involve the consequences of tampering with nature, as seen with Wallace's invention gone wrong. There are also themes of greed and jealousy represented by the villain, Victor. A significant moment involves a main character appearing to be dead after a fall, which leads to a sad scene before they are revived, which could be briefly upsetting for children.
