The first teaser for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl promises fans a thrilling adventure this Christmas on BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
The BBC has unveiled the highly anticipated first teaser trailer for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, sending fans of the beloved duo into a frenzy of excitement. Set to premiere on BBC iPlayer and BBC One this Christmas, the film offers a sneak peek into Wallace and Gromit’s latest escapade filled with intrigue, comedy, and, of course, inventive mishaps.
The trailer introduces a gripping storyline, as Wallace and his newly programmed smart gnome, Norbot, find themselves embroiled in a recent crime wave sweeping across the region. With a string of garden goods disappearing, suspicion falls squarely on Wallace’s shoulders. While he passionately insists on his innocence, it’s up to his loyal canine companion, Gromit, to confront the dark forces at play—or risk Wallace never inventing again!
Adding a twist of nostalgia to the narrative, the notorious Feathers McGraw, last seen in the 1993 BAFTA and Academy Award-winning short The Wrong Trousers, makes a dramatic return. This fan-favourite villain promises to bring chaos, and fans are left guessing about the extent of his schemes.
The voice cast features familiar talents, with Ben Whitehead reprising his role as Wallace, the eccentric inventor from the North, and Gromit, his ever-loyal dog. Joining them are Peter Kay as Chief Inspector Macintosh and Lauren Patel, known for her roles in Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and Lloyd of the Flies. Additionally, the film boasts cameos from well-known actors such as Diane Morgan (Afterlife, Motherland), Adjoa Andoh (Bridgerton, Invictus), Muzz Khan (Brassic, Galavant), and Lenny Henry (Three Little Birds, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), with more details about their characters to be announced soon.
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (1×79’) is directed by the legendary Nick Park, the creative genius behind the Wallace & Gromit franchise and Shaun the Sheep, alongside Merlin Crossingham, the Creative Director of Wallace & Gromit and Animation Director of Early Man. The story is co-written by Nick Park and Mark Burton, renowned for their work on Madagascar and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, with Mark Burton also responsible for the screenplay. The film is produced by Richard Beek, promising a delightful blend of classic charm and innovative storytelling.
Fans can look forward to the film’s Christmas premiere on BBC iPlayer and BBC One, while audiences outside the UK can enjoy Vengeance Most Fowl globally on Netflix starting 3 January 2025. With the return of Wallace and Gromit, viewers can expect a heartwarming and comedic adventure that showcases the beloved duo’s ingenuity, friendship, and determination in the face of adversity.
As excitement builds for this cinematic comeback, both longtime fans and new audiences alike eagerly await the chance to join Wallace and Gromit on another unforgettable journey.
