Triple bill of children’s animated adventures. In ‘Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-rabbit’ (2005), in the run up to the village’s annual vegetable growing competition, cheese-loving inventor Wallace (voice of Peter Sallis) and his long-suffering dog Gromit set up their Anti-Pesto pest control company to make sure no hungry rabbits get their hands on the prize exhibits. But after clearing the rabbits from the grounds belonging to Lady Tottingham (Helena Bonham Carter), and crossing swords with the gun-obsessed Victor Quatermaine (Ralph Fiennes), something sinister is soon afoot - a giant rabbit that only appears during the full moon, which is laying waste to the village’s vegetables. Can Wallace and Gromit stop the were-rabbit before it’s too late, and, more importantly, can Wallace win the hand of Lady Tottingham before she is swept off her feet by Victor Quatermaine? In ‘Mr. Peabody and Sherman’ (2014) Mr. Peabody (Ty Burrell) has the achievements to support claims that he is the smartest being on Earth. An influential and highly successful scientist, inventor, businessman and all-round polymath, he also happens to be a dog who, in a somewhat unusual turn of events, has adopted a human boy, Sherman (Max Charles), to look after. However, when the curious Sherman creates havoc with Mr. Peabody’s latest invention, the WABAC time-travelling machine, the duo must embark on an adventure through history to try and put things right, meeting figures including Leonardo Da Vinci (Stanley Tucci) and Sigmund Freud (Mel Brooks) along the way. In ‘Megamind’ (2010), after not-so-brilliant super-villain Megamind (Will Ferrell) finally succeeds in killing his good-guy nemesis Metro Man (Brad Pitt) after years of botched attempts, he becomes directionless and bored without a worthwhile enemy to defeat. He decides to create a new adversary for himself in the form of Titan (Jonah Hill) - but to Megamind’s consternation, Titan sets out to destroy the world instead of using his powers for good, leaving it up to Megamind to save the day for the first time in his life.
