by

As a connoisseur of cinematic delights, having spent countless hours immersed in the celluloid realm, I can confidently say that Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl has left me utterly smitten. After a hiatus of nearly two decades, the return of this beloved duo feels like reuniting with long-lost friends. The early reviews are nothing short of glowing, promising a masterpiece in stop-motion animation that could very well earn that coveted 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Initial feedback for the anticipated sequel, “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl“, is overwhelmingly positive, suggesting it might be the highest-rated film in the entire stop-motion series. In this latest adventure, Wallace and his loyal dog companion, Gromit, are back for their fifth big-screen outing, making a return since their last appearance in “The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” from 2005. After a nearly two-decade break, there were concerns that the new film might mirror the reception of 2023’s “Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget“, which received a mix of praise and criticism from both fans and critics. However, it seems Aardman Studios has regained its form with the return of Wallace and his love for cheese.

Currently, just seven reviews have been posted on Rotten Tomatoes for the upcoming Wallace & Gromit film, titled “Vengeance Most Fowl“. However, these early assessments suggest a fantastic fifth adventure for this beloved duo. Remarkably, all of the reviews so far have awarded near-perfect scores. It’s intriguing to consider if this film could secure that highly coveted 100% RT score. Ian Sandwell from Digital Spy has commended the new movie as another “outstanding installment”, one that is sure to be re-watched multiple times. Tori Brazier of Metro UK shares a similar viewpoint, describing it as: “another exceptional outing“.

This stop-motion animated movie is a delightful trip down memory lane, crafted with dedication over many years. The combination of increased tension, the reappearance of Feathers, and adhering closely to the successful formula from before results in an experience that lives up to your expectations.

In terms of criticism for the movie “Vengeance Most Fowl,” it has only been slightly negative, with William Bibbiani at The Wrap comparing it to a lengthy Wallace and Gromit short film. However, this statement is said in a positive light as he acknowledges its strengths, including having outstanding heroes, an unforgettable villain, and an abundance of whimsy that might exceed medical recommendations for what’s considered healthy. Jacob Fisher of Discussing Film provides the most accurate summary, awarding the film a perfect 5/5 rating in his review.

In a manner tailored to the current zeitgeist of popular culture, filmmakers Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham bring back Wallace & Gromit, making their comeback after 16 long years feel like a heartwarming greeting from cherished companions. For fans, this is exactly what they’ve been hoping for.

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl Releases This December

Alongside the reappearance of Aardman’s beloved characters Wallace and Gromit, the film “Vengeance Most Fowl” introduces a notorious antagonist: Feathers McGraw. Although Wallace is well-liked within his community, public opinion has shifted towards the “inventor with a dark side,” whose reputation is being tarnished by the wicked penguin. The synopsis states:

If it becomes clear that a malevolent individual from the past could be orchestrating events, it is up to Gromit to fight against ominous powers and rescue his master… otherwise, Wallace might never have another opportunity for invention.

Aardman’s films, including the spooky-yet-festive “Curse of the Were-Rabbit,” have a vibe that makes them feel like Christmas movies, even though it’s Halloween. Continuing their tradition, Aardman is releasing their latest stop-motion film, “Vengeance Most Fowl,” during the winter holidays. It will hit theaters on December 18 in a limited release, and will be available for UK viewers on BBC iPlayer on Christmas Day (December 25). From January 3rd, it will be added to Netflix’s library for international viewers. If you want to catch “Vengeance Most Fowl” before the year-end, consider going to your local cinema to show your support.
