There's been chatter for a while now about plans for a new Wallace & Gromit movie and Aardman Animations has confirmed Vengeance Most Fowl is coming to the BBC in the UK this Christmas.
Don't worry, though, because - as we first reported on Toonado.com - it will debut on Netflix worldwide around the same time.
With a 70-minute runtime, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl will be the first feature-length adventure for these two since 2005's The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2008's A Matter of Loaf and Death clocked in at less than 30 minutes).
The biggest news, however, is the fact this movie will feature the return of iconic villain, Feathers McGraw. The twisted penguin debuted in 1993's Oscar-winning The Wrong Trousers and, if that title is any indication, he's eager for revenge!

The 70-minute adventure, titled Vengeance Most Fowl, will see the iconic duo face off against their nemesis who was last seen in the 1993 Oscar-winning short film The Wrong Trousers. I’d had the idea of bringing him back for a while and always thought about creating this story based around the character returning.

Forget Thanos. Forget The Joker. Forget Darth Vader. We all know the most despicable supervillain in cinema history is Feathers McGraw, the beady-eyed felonious fake fowl who was last seen (rightfully) rotting in jail at the end of Aardman Animations' BAFTA and Academy Award winning 1993 short The Wrong Trousers. But now, thirty years later, he's back! Yes, the pernicious penguin who laughs in the face of the law is set to return in the im-peck-ably titled Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Check out a sneak-peek at the film, which is set to release on both Netflix and the BBC simultaneously this Christmas, below:
Netflix and Aardman also shared a synopsis for the feature-length stop-motion caper: "Vengeance Most Fowl sees Gromit’s growing concern as Wallace becomes over-dependent on his inventions – which proves justified when Wallace invents a ‘smart gnome’ that seems to develop an evil mind of its own.

Netflix unveiled first looks at a whole host of its upcoming animated shows and features during an event on Thursday, and Rebel Moon director Zack Snyder was on hand to introduce the first footage from his Norse Mythology series, Twilight of the Gods.
“I love mythology,” said the filmmaker. "On a scale like this, I feel like animation was the greatest way to tell the story.”
First announced way back in 2019, it's taken quite a while to find its way to our screens, but we recently learned that the show will finally premiere on Netflix this Fall.
The project has been described as "Anime-influenced," but judging by these clips, we'd say the animation style has more in common with the Academy Award-nominated Cartoon Saloon studio.
“When most people think about animation, they think about Saturday morning cartoons, or G-rated movies,” said the presentation’s host, Christopher Sean. “But animation is...

Ab Weihnachten wird das jüngste Abenteuer von Wallace und seinem Hund Gromit bei Netflix zu sehen sein. Jetzt wurde ein Teaser-Trailer veröffentlicht.
„Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl”, in dem der kriminelle Pinguin Feathers McGraw ein Comeback feiert, spielt 16 Jahre nach „Wallace & Gromit: Eine Frage von Brot und Tod“. Gromit macht sich Sorgen um sein Herrchen, den Erfinder Wallace, der zu sehr von seinen Erfindungen abhängig ist. Als gerechtfertigt erweist sich diese Sorge, als Wallace einen „intelligenten Gnom“ erfindet, der ein eigenes böses Wesen zu entwickeln scheint. Aber wer oder was könnte die Ursache dafür sein? Als die Ereignisse außer Kontrolle geraten, liegt es an Gromit, seine Bedenken beiseite zu schieben und die finsteren Mächte zu bekämpfen, sonst wird Wallace vielleicht nie wieder etwas erfinden können.
In Großbritannien startet „Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl“ zu Weihnachten bei BBC One und im BBC iPlayer, im Rest der Welt bei Netflix.

Wallace And Gromit return in feature length special Vengeance Most Fowl, a new 70 minute film coming this Christmas.
It’s a commonly held view among both animation aficionados and film fans in general that The Wrong Trousers is one of the best animated films ever made. Thirty perfect minutes crammed with character, jokes and the most well directed train chase sequence every committed to film, it won a BAFTA and an Academy Award.
It’s perhaps no surprise that for their big return to the small screen, Wallace and Gromit will face off against their iconic foe, Feathers McGraw, once more in Vengeance Most Fowl. The BBC has confirmed that the new film will be bigger in scope than its previous four short films – A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and A Matter of Loaf and Death – and will in fact be a feature film closer...

Netflix Animation held its first slate preview event June 6 at the Tudum in L.A., as a lead-up to the Annecy Animation Festival (June 9-15), where it will premiere Shannon Tindle’s “Ultraman: Rising” (streaming June 14) and tout some of its upcoming works in 2024 and 2025.
Hosted by Christopher Sean (the voice star of “Ultraman: Rising”), attendees were treated to exclusive presentations, previews, and special announcements. The biggest announcement was the full title of Aardman’s next stop-motion feature, “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” which will have an Oscar-qualifying run this winter before streaming in 2025.
Directed by franchise creator Nick Park and creative director Merlin Crossingham, who offered a pre-recorded introduction, “Vengeance Most Fowl” marks the return of the villainous penguin, Feathers McGraw, from the Oscar-winning short “The Wrong Trousers.” The film is a cautionary tale of high-tech gone wrong involving an out-of-control “smart gnome” with a mind of its own.

The BBC has officially unveiled the return of one of the U.K.’s favorite duos: Wallace & Gromit.
The pair are back and set for a brand new adventure, made by independent studio Aardman Animations, which will premiere on the BBC and BBC iPlayer this Christmas, as well as heading to Netflix worldwide this winter.
The new film, titled Vengeance Most Fowl, will be 70 minutes long and feature the return of the iconic supervillain Feathers McGraw, who is now back for revenge following his appearance in the Oscar-winning 1993 short The Wrong Trousers.
In Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, Gromit becomes increasingly concerned over Wallace’s dependence on his inventions. Things take a turn for the worst when Wallace’s creation “smart gnome” seems to develop an evil mind of its own. “As events begin to spiral out of control, it’s up to Gromit to put aside his qualms and battle sinister forces,...

Four years ago, Rebel Moon filmmaker Zack Snyder and producing partner and wife Deborah Snyder met with Netflix executives to discuss possibilities in animation.
The medium was growing fast inside the company, as fast as its subscriber base. One exec threw out the idea of doing something with Norse mythology. Zack Snyder, who had spent much of his career making movies with grand mythological overtones, took to it. Partnering with storyboard artist and animation director Jay Oliva, the Snyders eventually came up with a love and revenge story titled Twilight of the Gods.
“We pitched them an outline; they had a few notes but they let us have free reign,” Deborah Snyder told The Hollywood Reporter at a Netflix animation event Thursday. “They had no guardrails, no limitations.”
That lack of guardrails or limitations may be the best way to describe the free-wheeling, anything and everything goes ethos that has overtaken Netflix’s animation arm.

Aardman co-founder Peter Lord has revealed details about the plot of the new Wallace And Gromit film, which will be broadcast at Christmas 2024.
There are few franchises as universally beloved as Wallace And Gromit. What began as Nick Park’s student film project grew into two of Britain’s most iconic animated characters.
So far, the titular heroes have starred in four short films – A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers – which won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film in 1994 and features arguably the best train chase sequence ever put on screen – A Close Shave and A Matter Of Loaf And Death. There’s also the 2005 feature film The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit, a series of even shorter films called Cracking Contraptions and a videogame, Wallace And Gromit: Project Zoo.
