Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) co-written and directed by Nick Park and co-directed by Merlin Crossingham
After capturing the notorious penguin criminal Feathers McGraw when he stole a diamond, Wallace and Gromit live a life of technological luxury, of a sort. Wallace invents their tech, a hobby that is a bit costly. Initially invented to help out Gromit in the garden, Wallace's new invention may get them out of debt. The invention is a robotic garden gnome who can do all sorts of gardening tasks, including ones Gromit does not want done. The gnome is voice activated, which is a problem for the speechless Gromit. A news crew comes and interviews Wallace, creating a plethora of customers who saw the gnome on TV. Also seeing the gnome on TV is the prisoner Feathers McGraw, who hatches a scheme to get revenge on the duo who put him in jail. With a little bit of hacking of the zoo's computers (where else would a penguin be incarcerated?), McGraw hacks the gnome and turns it to evil. Comic antics ensue.
The show is another round of the fun and creative whimsy viewers have come to expect from Nick Park's Aardman Animation. This movie isn't as good as Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but what could be? The movie is a lot of fun and well worth watching.
Recommended.
