Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl – A New Adventure for the Beloved Duo
Wallace and Gromit, the iconic claymation duo, have once again returned to our screens in their latest adventure, Vengeance Most Fowl . After years of absence, their new film, which aired during the 2024 Christmas season, brings back the much-feared penguin villain, Feathers McGraw, along with an amusing new twist on technology.
In this latest story, Wallace has created a "smart gnome" named Norbot, a seemingly helpful invention designed to make life easier. However, as with most of Wallace's inventions, things quickly spiral out of control. Norbot, designed to help with household chores, starts to malfunction, bringing chaos into the lives of Wallace and Gromit. It's left to Gromit, the ever-patient dog, to step in and save the day once again. This time, Gromit's biggest challenge isn't just dealing with the effects of an invention gone wrong but facing off against the return of their old nemesis, Feathers McGraw.
Feathers McGraw, who originally appeared in The Wrong Trousers , is back and more menacing than ever. Escaping from a high-security zoo, he’s out for revenge and determined to get his hands on Wallace's creations. This sinister penguin's quest for vengeance brings a thrilling edge to the story, combining the traditional slapstick humor of Wallace and Gromit with a more menacing plot. McGraw’s return is a highlight, as his unique brand of silent menace is as captivating as ever.

The film cleverly explores the theme of technology and its effects on everyday life. With Wallace's growing reliance on inventions like Norbot, the film offers a subtle critique of our increasing dependence on machines. It’s a reminder that, despite their convenience, there’s something irreplaceable about the old-fashioned, hands-on methods that Wallace and Gromit embody. This theme resonates especially in today’s tech-driven world, making the film feel both timeless and relevant.
As expected, Vengeance Most Fowl is filled with the quirky humor and imaginative claymation that have made Wallace and Gromit beloved for decades. The gags come thick and fast, with plenty of puns and sight jokes, and the stop-motion animation remains as charming and painstakingly crafted as ever. Despite being a little longer than the usual Wallace & Gromit shorts, the film never loses its charm. However, it does suffer slightly from a slower pace in parts, especially with a few too many dialogues that might not hit as hard as the more visual gags fans are accustomed to.
Despite these minor flaws, Vengeance Most Fowl does not disappoint. The action-packed finale, featuring a chaotic chase and wild stunts, brings the adventure to a thrilling conclusion. Even when the film seems to stumble in its pacing, the heart and humor that define Wallace and Gromit shine through. Watching them tackle new challenges and face off against old foes is an experience that will leave you feeling nostalgic and entertained.
In the end, Vengeance Most Fowl is a testament to the enduring legacy of Wallace and Gromit. After 35 years, the duo is still as entertaining and lovable as ever, and their latest adventure proves that even in the world of rapidly advancing technology, there’s nothing quite like the magic of hand-crafted animation and timeless humor. If you haven’t already seen it, be sure to catch Vengeance Most Fowl on BBC iPlayer for a delightful dose of festive fun.
