After nineteen years, we have another full-length Wallace & Gromit feature heading our way. It’s called Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl and, as today’s trailer confirms, features the return of the world’s best boss, the penguin Feathers McGraw, who Wallace and Gromit helped put behind bars.
Here’s the synopsis for the film:
In this next installment, Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that seems to develop a mind of its own. When it emerges that a vengeful figure from the past might be masterminding things, it falls to Gromit to battle sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again!
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl comes once again from Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham. “Garden gnomes have long been a part of Wallace and Gromit’s world, but this is no cute patio ornament,” Park and Crossingham told Tudum. “Norbot is the ultimate gnome—a ‘smart-gnome.’ We’re so excited to see Wallace unleashing his latest invention, Norbot, into the world. However, his long-suffering pooch, Gromit, may be a little less sure…”
Park added that the two characters he created are “like an old married couple in some ways, who know each other so well—it’s a sort of love-hate relationship, but when the chips are down, they are always there for each other. Wallace pushes Gromit’s loyalty to the extreme, and Gromit always wants Wallace to change. It’s something everyone can relate to.”
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl premieres on Netflix on January 3, 2025.
