It’s been 19 years since the last feature-length Wallace & Gromit film. Thankfully, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is here to bring that drought to an end. And it’s bringing a classic Wallace & Gromit villain along for the ride!
Criminal mastermind penguin Feathers McGraw, of The Wrong Trousers fame, is back for vengeance in this new claymation caper. In the film’s latest trailer, we see his plan beginning to take shape. He hijacks Wallace’s (voiced by Ben Whitehead) latest creation: a smart gnome named Norbot (voiced by Reece Shearsmith). With his settings now set to “evil,” Norbot embarks on a crime spree to break Feathers out of his zoo prison. Can Wallace and his trusty beagle Gromit put things right?
What follows is another wonderful addition to the Wallace & Gromit series. As I wrote in my review for Mashable, “the film is a delightful romp in all ways. Silliness reigns supreme here, with Vengeance Most Fowl‘s smallest details — including a deluge of puns and a cheese-themed captcha — just as likely to send you into orbit as its madcap set pieces, which involve everything from boats to office chairs.”
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl hits Netflix Jan. 3.
