If like me you watched Wallace and Gromit’s ‘The Curse Of The Were Rabbit’ over Christmas you may have spotted a rather peculiar fridge branded as Smug! Let us explain…

The Curse Of The Were Rabbit!

In the film Wallace and Gromit come to the rescue of a village plagued by Rabbits in the run up to the annual vegetable competition. Struggling to cope with the rabbit invasion of their home and with a terrifying Were Rabbit on the loose Gromit escapes to the kitchen for a well deserved rest and a brew. His Smug Fridge (a Smeg 50’s Retro Style Fridge) then takes centre stage! Gromit opens the fridge door to discover hundreds of rabbits packed inside! Find out how they got there, and what Gromit does next by watching a short snipet from the film below film! Can Gromit save the day?

The Director Explains…

Creator of the animated masterpiece Nick Park explains “ the Smug fridge idea came from the fact that we’d all be pretty pleased if we had a Smeg fridge of our own and that perhaps Wallace might be a bit ‘smug’ about owning a Smeg fridge. It was all a bit silly, but it went down really well with our audiences and people still reference it today, so hopefully it’s one of those little details that people appreciated.”
