Film Review - Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2025)

Wallace and Gromit Vengeance Most Fowl is the new Aardman animation film and sees Wallace (Ben Whitehead replacing the late Peter Sallis) and Gromit struggling to pay their bills so Wallace invents a handy new Garden Gnome called Norbot (Reece Shearsmith) but little do they know that Feathers McGraw has gotten wind of Norbot after a news story and he begins to plan his vengeance.

I was never really into Wallace and Gromit growing up (I was more into Disney animation as a kid in the 90s) but I heard very good things about this movie and Feathers McGraw as a villain (those eyes are like the Terminators in the first two films) so I decided to give it a watch.

And my goodness I loved every minute of this movie and I really really pity the other animated films released this year because this one has set the bar and firstly I have to mention the stop motion animation as it is not only gorgeous but you can really tell that there is a human touch to it all especially in the eyes of the characters where the good guys have a real soul to them while the villains well it’s like staring into the Abyss especially with Feathers McGraw.

Speaking of Feathers McGraw what a great villain, cunning/unassuming and moves with stealth like precision plus is a master of disguise (you can’t fool me with that glove Feathers, I know your not a chicken) in fact during one of his disguises I laughed so hard I had to go back as I missed a line of dialogue and in a couple of occasions I was reminded of Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget.

And lastly this movie is a riot, I laughed pretty much out loud the entire time I was watching it and I will not lie a part of me wishes this was in cinemas this summer holidays because it would’ve been a massive hit with families but alas we’ll have to settle for it being on Netflix instead (This is all Feather’s fault.)

So LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND, Feathers McGraw is out there, he can’t be bargained with, he can’t be reasoned with, he doesn’t feel pity or remorse or fear and he absolutely will not stop.

EVER,

Until he has Vengeance and as for this movie well I loved every minute of it and I have no hesitation giving it a full 5 out of 5.
