In their new
movie, The
Curse of the Were-Rabbit,
Wallace, and his trusty dog Gromit have formed their own humane pest
control company, Anti-pesto, and are defending village gardens from a
giant rabbit on the eve of the annual Giant Vegetable Competition.
While the British movie is packed full of some of the funniest
vegetable antics you’ll ever see, there’s another purpose to the film:
Promote a real-life Great Vegetable Challenge competition to teach
thousands
of school kids about diet, nutrition and the natural environment. Listen to the whole story (and be challenged!): Subscribe to our podcast feed so
