Reece Shearsmith lends his voice to Wallace’s latest invention in a new clip – check out the Vengeance Most Fowl teaser below.
In Vengeance Most Fowl, Wallace and Gromit might just have their work cut out for them.
After a previous teaser revealed the duo’s first outing since 2008’s A Matter Of Loaf And Death would see the return of perhaps the world’s most dangerous criminal – master of disguise and all-round ne’er-do-well Feathers McGraw – it seems the villain won’t be the only one keeping the pair on their toes.
Taking to the social media platform formally known as Twitter, Aardman have offered a look at one of Wallace’s latest inventions: Norbot the Smart Gnome, voiced by League Of Gentlemen and Inside No. 9 alum Reece Shearsmith.
“We are delighted to introduce Norbot, a ‘Nifty Odd-jobbing Robot’ gnome, designed to help Gromit with his gardening chores,” say co-directors Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham. “We’re so excited to see Wallace unleashing his latest invention Norbot into the world. However, his long suffering pooch Gromit, may be a little less sure…”
Venegance Most Fowl is the second feature-length film starring everyone’s favourite plasticine pairing, after 2005’s Curse Of The Were-Rabbit became the first stop-motion film to take home the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature (Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, which came to Netflix in 2022, became the second).
The film marks the latest in a series of collaborations between Aardman and Netflix after the studio’s latest film, Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget debuted on the platform last year. The new film will air on BBC One over the festive period in the UK, before heading to Netflix for an unspecified global release.
Much more (we’re unreasonably excited) on Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl when we have it.
