Wallace & Gromit Return with ‘Vengeance Most Fowl’

The first trailer for “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” marking the beloved duo’s return to the small screen, has been unveiled. The upcoming feature-length film will premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this Christmas, before being available globally on Netflix starting January 3, 2025. This project represents Wallace and Gromit’s first full-length cinematic adventure in 19 years, and the latest creation from renowned studio Aardman Animations.

Directed by Nick Park, who co-directs with Merlin Crossingham, ‘Vengeance Most Fowl’ has been written by Nick Park and Mark Burton. The screenplay, crafted by Mark Burton, promises to deliver the delightful blend of wit and adventure that Wallace & Gromit films are known for.

This new installment revives the classic adversary Feathers McGraw, who is back seeking vengeance after his last appearance in the 1993 Oscar-winning short “The Wrong Trousers.” Wallace, the quirky, cheese-enthusiast inventor voiced by Ben Whitehead, finds himself the main suspect in a series of thefts involving garden goods across the region. As he protests his innocence, it falls to his loyal dog, Gromit, to uncover the true culprit and save the day.

In addition to Ben Whitehead, the film’s voice cast features Peter Kay reprising his role as Chief Inspector Mackintosh. The upcoming film also boasts cameos from popular actors such as Diane Morgan, Adjoa Andoh, and Sir Lenny Henry, alongside Lauren Patel and Muzz Khan in undisclosed roles.

This latest project is the duo’s second feature-length film in the franchise, following “Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” released in 2005. “Vengeance Most Fowl” promises a 70-minute runtime filled with signature stop-motion animation, humor, and intrigue that have captivated audiences worldwide for decades.
