Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl sees the return of the iconic duo for their first feature-length adventure since 2005. Feathers McGraw, the infamous penguin villain, is back with a new heist in mind, while Wallace's attempt to modernize his home goes hilariously awry.
Forget Colin Farrell as a Gotham City gangster. The most villainous penguin to grace the small screen this year is none other than the fearsome, unflappable Feathers McGraw. Having had his diabolical diamond heist foiled by one man and his dog (though mainly the dog), the dead-eyed master of disguise clearly has some scores to settle.
And so, 31 years after his indelible appearance in the claymation neo-noir masterpiece that was Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers, McGraw returns, hoping to finally get his flippers on the elusive jewel in Aardman Animations’ sparkling new gem of a film. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl also marks the eponymous double act’s first feature-length adventure since 2005. While the impossibly patient pooch is still the strong silent type, Ben Whitehead has seamlessly taken over from the late Peter Sallis as the voice of eccentric inventor and inveterate bumbler Wallace. Time has otherwise stood still in the quaint, cosy corner of Lancashire where the two cheese-and-cracker connoisseurs lead a life of quiet routine, their retro-futuristic home cluttered with contraptions that tip over beds and catapult condiments. That is until Wallace, the original tech disrupter, misguidedly attempts to shake things up. Enter Norbot (Reece Shearsmith), a gratingly cheery busybody robot designed to turn the green-pawed Gromit’s Edenic wild garden into a manicured monstrosity. What follows is a gently pointed parable about the dangers of our tech-obsessed times as Norbot (and later an army of gnome clones) wreaks havoc on West Wallaby Street. To give more away might spoil the fun of seeing how his fastidious efforts to keep things “neat and tidy” end up being corrupted by Feathers McGraw — now a jailbird plotting an escape from behind the bars of his zoo enclosur
