Aardman Animation had originally signed a multi-picture deal with DreamWorks to fund and release their films as their previous effort, Galline in fuga (2000), had been a huge box-office and critical success. However whilst Curse of the Were-Rabbit did very well at the UK box office and was successful in Europe and many overseas markets, DreamWorks felt it under-performed when released in the U.S. and partly blamed it on the fact that Aardman, and Nick Park in particular, refused point blank to make any compromises for U.S. audiences (such as cast a major Hollywood name in the voice cast like he did in Chicken Run). Park on the other hand blatantly refused to make any wholesale changes to the Wallace & Gromit formula and its particularly British quirky sense of humor. He reasoned that if the beloved short films were good enough to win academy awards then there was no reason to meddle with what audiences loved about them.Whilst the film was certainly not a flop on its U.S. release, DreamWorks felt it was not the blockbuster they were expecting at the American box office and decided to terminate early the multi-picture deal with Aardman. Aardman's next theatrical release, Pirati! Briganti da strapazzo (2012) was released through Sony Pictures and their films since then have been released through French distributor StudioCanal in Europe (and independent distributors worldwide) who, unlike the Hollywood majors, have been happy to let Aardman make their films without interference.
