Aardman Animations has just dropped the highly anticipated first trailer for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, the latest installment in the beloved claymation franchise. Directed by four-time Academy Award® winner Nick Park, this new epic adventure sees the return of everyone’s favorite inventor-and-dog duo for a thrilling, feather-filled caper.
A New Invention Gone Awry
In Vengeance Most Fowl, Wallace’s dependence on his quirky inventions once again lands him in trouble, as he creates a “smart” gnome that takes on a life of its own. Gromit, as ever, is left to clean up the mess when it becomes clear that there are sinister forces at play. The trailer teases plenty of the signature slapstick comedy and intricate inventions that have become synonymous with the franchise, while hinting at a mysterious figure from Wallace’s past who might be pulling the strings behind the chaos.
From Gromit’s worried glances to Wallace’s cheery obliviousness, fans will be delighted to see the same charming dynamic between the two characters as they face their biggest challenge yet: saving Wallace’s ability to invent… or risk it being lost forever.
