Aardman’s all-new stop-motion comedy adventure, nominated for a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for best animated feature, follows Wallace’s new invention - Norbot, a ‘smart’ gnome that seems to develop a mind of its own; film hits the streamer today, January 3.
Aardman’s all-new stop-motion comedy adventure, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, nominated for a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for best animated feature, is now streaming on Netflix.
With Academy Award-winning director Nick Park and Emmy Award-nominated Merlin Crossingham at the helm, the epic adventure centers on Gromit’s growing concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions, which proves justified when he invents a “smart” gnome, Norbot, that seems to develop a mind of its own. When it emerges that a vengeful figure from the past might be masterminding things, it falls to Gromit to battle sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again!
Reece Shearsmith (League of Gentleman, Inside No.9) lends his voice to Norbot and Ben Whitehead stars as Wallace, the eccentric, cheese-loving inventor from the North of England. Whitehead previously worked with Peter Sallis (the original voice of Wallace) on several Wallace & Gromit brand projects. The voice cast also includes Peter Kay, Lauren Patel, Diane Morgan, Adjoa Andoh, Muzz Khan, and Lenny Henry.
Mark Burton penned the screenplay based on a story by himself and Park. John Powel is the composer.
Enjoy the final trailer to get a taste of Aardman’s iconic animated duo in their latest romp.
