Every Wallace and Gromit movie needs a great villain, and the new one is no exception. The latest stop-motion production, titled “Vengeance Most Fowl,” sees our favorite inventor and his faithful dog face off against an all-new chicken enemy. Wait a minute, he’s getting something out of his head. no! That can’t be true! That’s not chicken! It’s Feathers McGraw!
Yes, the famous villain from the 1993 short film The Wrong Trouser is back and, as the title suggests, out for revenge. The dastardly jewel thief made a brief cameo in the final scene of last year’s Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nuggets, but now Feathers, the sphenoid Napoleon of the criminal world, is finally back in earnest. It’s coming.
You can watch a new teaser for the film above, including a glimpse of Feathers’ grand return. Read on to learn more.
What is Wallace and Gromit: Revenge of the Most Foul?
Aardman’s four-time Academy Award-winning director Nick Park and Emmy-nominated Merlin Crossingham return with an all-new epic adventure, Wallace and Gromit: Revenge of the Dead. Next time, in this episode, Gromit’s concerns that Wallace is too dependent on his inventions are justified when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that supposedly develops a mind of its own. You can see that. When it’s revealed that a vengeful figure from the past may be the mastermind behind things, it’s up to Gromit to fight the evil forces and save his master…or Wallace will never again be It may not be possible to invent it!
“Returning to Wallace and Gromit is like meeting a family friend,” Park told Netflix, adding that he thinks fans share that sense of connection. “People react to them because they feel very familiar with them. In a way, they’re like an old married couple, they know each other very well. It’s kind of a love-hate relationship, but they’re also very familiar with them. They always help each other. Wallace pushes Gromit’s loyalty to the extreme, but Gromit always wants Wallace to change. That’s something everyone can relate to.”
The two must use all their ingenuity to defeat the resurrected Feathers McGraw. “One of the questions I get asked most often is, ‘When is Feathers coming back?'” Crossingham told Netflix. “Well, now is the time. He is back with a vengeance.”
Of course, it wouldn’t be The Adventures of Wallace and Gromit without some great new tricks. “We’re excited to introduce Norbot, a ‘wily chore robot’ designed to help Gromit with his gardening chores,” said directors Park and Crossingham. “Nobot is Wallace’s proudest achievement to date and, according to Wallace, his “best invention of all time.” Garden gnomes have long been part of the world of Wallace and Gromit, but they’re more than just cute patio decorations. Nobots are the ultimate gnomes, or “smart gnomes.” We’re so excited to see Wallace unleash his latest invention, Nobot, on the world. But his long-suffering dog Gromit may be a little unsure…
Look at Gromit’s face when he first glimpses the Norbot above. Poor guy. When will Wallace learn?

How many Wallace and Gromit movies are there?
Vengeance Most Foul is the perfect access point for those who want to discover Wallace and Gromit for the first time, but if you want to catch up on all of their adventures, you’re in for a fun journey. The cheese-loving duo was featured in the 1989 Oscar-nominated space-set short film A Grand Day Out, which asked the question, “Isn’t the moon made of cheese?” I threw it. The film began as Nick Park’s National Film and Television School graduation project and was completed after joining Aardman.
In 1993, Feathers McGraw appeared in The Wrong Television, which won the series the first Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. Close Shave (1995) saw Wallace and Gromit team up with breakout star Shaun the Sheep, who won another Oscar for short film. Shaun went on to headline his own television show, a Christmas special, and two full-length shows, including Netflix’s Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon.
The series expanded to a full-length feature in 2006 with The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, which won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature (the first stop-motion animated film). The short film A Matter of Bread and Death was released two years later in 2008 and was again nominated for an Oscar. This will keep you up to date with Vengeance Most Fowl. Beyond that?
But if you’re new to this franchise, there’s no need to worry. Crossingham hopes Vengeance Most Fowl will be an introduction to a new generation of fans. “We want this movie to reach people who have never encountered Wallace and Gromit before,” he said.
