Sixteen years after the last Wallace and Gromit movie, “A Matter of Loaf and Death,” the new 70-minute adventure is to be released and shown on BBC as part of their Christmas Day schedule and then on Netflix. First announced in 2022 the new film is titled Wallace and Gromit : Vengeance Most Fowl and sees the return of the villainous Feathers McGraw almost 40 years after he was seen in 1993’s Oscar-winning short “Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trouser” .
The voice cast sees Ben Whitehead return to voice Wallace, the eccentric cheese-loving inventor, and Peter Kay back as Chief Inspector (formerly PC) Mackintosh. Jopingin the cast are Lauren Patel (“Everybody’s Talking About Jamie,” “Lloyd of the Flies”) and Reece Shearsmith (“League of Gentleman,” “Inside No.9”), with cameos from Diane Morgan (“Afterlife,” “Motherland”), Adjoa Andoh (“Bridgerton,” “Invictus”) and Lenny Henry (“Three Little Birds,” “The Lord of the Rings”).
“I’d had the idea of a film about garden gnomes turning bad for more than a decade, but I could never work out what made them bad,” said Nick Park, the director and creator of “Wallace and Gromit.” “It occurred to me that the single most asked question I get when I meet fans is, will the penguin Feathers McGraw, Wallace and Gromit’s original antagonist from ‘The Wrong Trousers’ 30 years ago, ever return? We’ve had fun bringing him back in cameo capacities but now, three decades on, it felt like the right time. Then it hit me: What if Feathers was involved with these gnomes? We’re hoping that this film will appeal to fans of ‘Gnome Noir’ everywhere and that people will be gratified when they see what Feathers has been up to since ‘The Wrong Trousers.’”
