Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is a new installment in the beloved franchise, but with a twist. The film follows the same format as previous movies, with Wallace and Gromit getting into their usual mischief. However, a key element that was present in previous films, Gromit being framed and in trouble with the law, is flipped and instead it is Wallace who is framed in this latest installment.
The movie opens with Wallace and his new AI, Norbot, being used by his neighbors to solve their problems. However, Norbot becomes self-aware and begins to cause chaos, leading to Wallace being framed for the crime. The movie parodies the police and media’s quick judgments, while the audience knows that the real culprit, Feathers McGraw, is the true mastermind behind the crime.
The film is a faithful return to the franchise, with references to previous movies, including the appearances of characters like Feathers McGraw and Chief Inspector Mackintosh. The diamond from The Wrong Trousers makes a reappearance, as do other small nods to previous films.
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl has received a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, and is set to be released on January 3, 2025. The movie features a runtime of 79 minutes and a cast including Ben Whitehead, Lauren Patel, Reece Shearsmith, and more.
