Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

The Parkway Theater is screening Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit on Saturday, October 17, as part of its 'Spooky!' series—a run of four family-friendly scary films. The movie is rated G, so it's one of those rare October outings you can actually bring the kids to without worrying about what they'll see.

Released in 2005, the film was directed by Nick Park and Steve Box, with Peter Sallis and Helena Bonham Carter providing voices. It follows Wallace, an eccentric inventor, and his dog Gromit, who run a pest control business. They land a job from the alluring Lady Tottington to stop a giant rabbit from destroying the town's crops, and Wallace's eagerness to please his client pushes the situation further than anyone would like. It's the same stop-motion charm the series is known for, just with a bit of a Halloween twist.

Doors open at 12 PM and the movie starts at 1 PM, so it's a matinee rather than a night show. Advance tickets are $8 for age 13 and up—$11.27 with taxes and fees—and $6 for under 13, which comes to $8.95 with taxes and fees. If you wait until the day of, it's $12 for age 13 and up and $9 for under 13, with taxes and fees included in those door prices. The theater is at 4814 Chicago Ave in Minneapolis.
