Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) review

Bag-pipes- that’s a choice!

Plot: Gromit's concern that Wallace has become over-dependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a "smart gnome" that seems to develop a mind of its own. As events spiral out of control, it falls to Gromit to put aside his qualms and battle sinister forces - or Wallace may never be able to invent again.

I genuinely have so much respect and cherish Aardman Animation studios as a company, as they have developed their own distinct style of stop-motion claymation and have stuck to it through thick and thin. So much so that after a few box office bombs it looked like they were going to go out of business, yet luckily Netflix (and the BBC) came to the rescue and allowed their films to live on through streaming. I’m a huge ambassador for the cinematic theatrical experience, but it is times like this when a streaming platform has its benefits. Hence with last year’s Chicken Run sequel and now a new Wallace & Gromit feature, Aardman is back to its old tricks, and we are here for it. That being said, this was my first entry into the Wallace & Gromit franchise, so my opinion is based sorely on this individual film, rather than comparing it what has happened to these characters before.

The BBC really knocked it out of the park with its festive releases this time around. The Gavin & Stacey finale episode was one of the best sitcom show endings ever, and now Wallace & Gromit is a true belly of laughs and heart. This movie is utterly charming, from the many visual gags and throwaway jokes, to the character animations and voices - it’s all really cute and amusing. However, someone’s got to say it, and by someone I mean the entire internet has been discussing it heavily these last few days (at least on Letterboxd), and I will add fuel to the fire by agreeing that Wallace is an utter tw*t of a character. Honestly, he’s a diabolical self-centred narcissistic a-hole who deserves to be assassinated. He’s so mean towards his pet/housemate Gromit, who he treats like a slave and scum of the Earth, and is endlessly dumb and stupid, and what’s worse is his silly actions cause so much chaos and problems for everyone else. And all Wallace has to say for himself is “oh dear” and then proceeds to blame everyone else. This ugly bald chap is a piece of work, and had I been Gromit, I would have long sunk my teeth into and ripped the skin off his neck. Wallace - you’re a wally and deserve the worst of it all! He’s so annoying that for the first 20 minutes or so of this film I was actually questioning if I should stop watching, as Wallace’s personality and actions were so diabolical and horrible.

Luckily the movie does find its footing once the villainous penguin Feathers McGraw appears, as honestly anything this character did was absolutely hilarious. He doesn’t speak at all, and has a really plain and simple design, so his entire expression and delivery comes from his eyes and wings, yet they animators manage to craft some truly hilarious sight gags with him. Truly, anything with McGraw was top tier comedy. Nice to also hear Peter Kay voicing the chief inspector - it’s good to have him back really. You have to give huge credit to Ben Whitehead, I honestly had to check that AI wasn't used to recreate the voice of Peter Sallis, it was seamless, what an incredible vocal performance as Wallace. Even if Wallace is an annoying c**t.

Vengeance Most Fowl is a wonderful watch, which I am sure will please fans of the franchise, but also is a great entry point for newcomers such as myself, and in fact since seeing this me and my wife have already began delving into the previous entries of Wallace & Gromit. Have now watched Curse of the Were-Rabbit, and who would have thought Ralph Fiennes was in that? And on top comedic form too mind you.

Overall score: 7/10

Mini-review:

It's taken a very long time for us to get another feature-length Wallace & Gromit movie, but the wait has been more than worth it. From the very first scene, it throws you back into the delightful and whimsical world of these characters, with a good ol' dose of wholesome humor that hits the right spot. And, of course, Aardman's animation is simply incredible; stop-motion doesn't get smoother than this. You can just tell how much love and passion was put into making this film. All in all, Vengeance Most Fowl will delight both longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise. First movie of the year and the bar is already sky high!
