Wallace and Gromit return with a thrilling new adventure!

The beloved animated duo, Wallace and Gromit, is back with a new full-length feature film, 'Vengeance Most Fowl,' which is set to debut on Netflix around the world, excluding the U.K., on a Friday. This marks a significant return for the franchise, as it has been 20 years since the last full-length 'Wallace & Gromit' film was released in 2005. Over the five years of production, the team, including directors Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, created intricate stop-motion animation blending traditional methods with digital technology to enhance the storytelling. The film features a returning villain, Feathers McGraw, who previously wreaked havoc in 'The Wrong Trousers.' His reintroduction was made easier thanks to positive audience reactions to teaser materials. Throughout production, there were numerous technical challenges, particularly animating the character of Feathers McGraw, who was noted for being difficult to work with due to his design and lack of spoken dialogue. However, the dedication of a large crew, including 32 animators and 200 more staff members, made it possible to execute ambitious chase sequences and visual effects, maintaining the charming handcrafted feel that audiences expect. The emphasis on both traditional stop-motion techniques and the thoughtful integration of CGI highlights the balance between embracing new technology and preserving classic artistic values, a theme that resonates throughout the film as Wallace’s invention causes chaos.
