Scheduled for a festive premiere on the BBC and BBC iPlayer this Christmas, along with a worldwide release on Netflix this winter, this 70-minute special promises to reignite the magic that has captivated audiences for decades.
In “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” we see Gromit growing increasingly worried about Wallace's dependence on his whimsical yet quirky inventions. Matters take a dark twist when Wallace's latest creation, a “smart gnome,” appears to develop a nefarious mind of its own. As chaos ensues, it's up to Gromit to put aside his reservations and battle the looming threats or risk Wallace never inventing again.
Directed by Nick Park, the creator who has brilliantly steered the Wallace & Gromit franchise, “Vengeance Most Fowl” brings back the unforgettable villain Feathers McGraw. First introduced in the 1993 Oscar-winning short “The Wrong Trousers,” the penguin's return adds a layer of thrilling nostalgia. Nick Park reveals he had contemplated the story of rogue garden gnomes for over a decade, and it was the desire of fans to see Feathers McGraw's return that brought the idea to life.
The cast is a delightful blend of old and new faces. Ben Whitehead voices Wallace, while British comedian Peter Kay, Lauren Patel, Reece Shearsmith, and cameos from the talented Diane Morgan, Adjoa Andoh, and Sir Lenny Henry enhance the ensemble.
For fans of the franchise and newcomers alike, “Vengeance Most Fowl” promises to deliver a warm, whimsical journey infused with humor, suspense, and the quintessential British charm of Wallace & Gromit. Whether you're a longtime admirer or discovering the charm of Wensleydale cheese for the first time, this film will be a perfect holiday treat for families and fans worldwide.
