As a lifelong admirer of stop-motion animation and a devoted fan of Wallace & Gromit since their debut in the late 80s, I can confidently say that Vengeance Most Fowl is shaping up to be an absolute triumph. The fact that it’s already garnered a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics hailing it as a must-see, speaks volumes about its quality. Even Metacritic, which can sometimes be a bit stingy with its accolades, has given it an 82 out of 100 – that’s impressive!
The Expected Stop-Motion Sequel – “Revenge of the Feathered Fiend
It’s worth questioning whether the scoring method used by Rotten Tomatoes might not fully reflect the perfection of “Vengeance Most Fowl.” This is because Rotten Tomatoes simplifies all opinions into either positive or negative, with even slightly favorable reviews contributing to a movie’s success. However, it seems that this rule may not apply in the case of “Vengeance Most Fowl,” as a glance at Rotten Tomatoes reveals a large number of very positive critic reviews for the film.
As a movie enthusiast, I can attest that Metacritic’s evaluation lends credibility to the glowing reception this animated film has been receiving, earning it an impressive average score of 82 out of 100, securing Metacritic’s coveted “must-see” label. To put things in perspective, let’s consider that the blockbuster hit, Wicked, from 2024, boasts a Metacritic medium score of 73 and an 89% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. For Netflix, this suggests that 2025 could be their year, with this film promising to be one of the standout releases of the upcoming season.
What’s Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl About?
Wallace and Gromit’s adventure kicked off in 1989 with the release of “A Grand Day Out,” a humorous stop-motion short film featuring an eccentric inventor and his devoted canine sidekick. Over the next few years, they appeared in two more shorts: “The Wrong Trousers” (1993) and “A Close Shave” (1995). Both were highly acclaimed by critics and viewers alike, making Wallace and Gromit iconic figures of Aardman Studios. However, their reign was short-lived as “Chicken Run” took over in 2000. But fear not, their story didn’t end there, it continued on…
2005 marked the debut of Wallace and Gromit in their full-length feature film, “The Curse of the Were-Rabbit”. This movie, apart from being the second highest-grossing stop-motion film after “Chicken Run”, couldn’t seem to initiate a new era for the duo. Instead, only a short film titled “A Matter of Loaf and Death” followed in 2008. Since Aardman Studios last produced something for their renowned character over a decade ago, fans have been eagerly waiting for “Vengeance Most Fowl”, which was released in October 2024 at the American Film Institute. The anticipation was high, but critics have praised the movie following its premiere.
In typical franchise mischief, the story of “Vengeance Most Fowl” unfolds as Wallace creates an automated garden gnome. However, this creation rebels against its maker after being hacked by their longtime adversary, Feather McGraw. First appearing in “The Wrong Trousers”, “Vengeance Most Fowl” serves as a direct sequel to the short film.
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance, Most Fowl will air only in the UK on both BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Christmas Day, December 25th, 2024. The global audience will have to wait until Netflix releases it on January 3rd, 2025.
