5. Wallace & Gromit In The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit
The claymation duo's feature-length adventure ends with a denouement in which romantic tension between Wallace and the bunny-loving toff Lady Tottington was dissolved and reconstituted into a platonic friendship based around looking after all the rabbits which Wallace and Gromit had prevented from devastating East Lancashire's finest organic produce. It was a lovely, well-rounded ending. Everyone enjoyed it. It was fine. Christ knows why, but it was mooted at one point that Lady Tottington was going to get together with the incredibly minor character PC Mackintosh. I dont know how, I dont know why. PC Mackintosh is in the film for four reasons: firstly, the PC/Mac gag; secondly, so he can make the arson/arsing gag; thirdly, to accidentally tell everyone that the beasts not actually dead; and fourthly, because Peter Kay has a magnet in his head which draws him toward any creative venture which mentions the north of England in any form, and as such Aardman had to sort him out with a part or face the prospect of him turning up to the studio every day for the next four years shouting GARLIC BREAD and reminiscing about things which happened in the 1970s. What PC Mackintosh is not in this film for is to make amorous advances to Lady Tottington. His heads like an enormous big toe with eyes and a moustache. Common sense eventually prevailed.
