Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl marks the long-awaited return of the much-loved duo in their first outing in 16 years.
It sees Wallace introduce his new invention, a smart gnome called Norbot, that’s designed to do any gardening task or “gnome improvement”. Gromit, as ever, is concerned and he’s right to be when Norbot develops an evil mind of its own.
But could the duo’s iconic nemesis Feathers McGraw, currently locked up in a zoo following the events of The Wrong Trousers, actually be behind it all?
