The great Roger Ebert once called Wallace and Gromit “arguably the two most delightful characters in the history of animation,” and who are we to argue with that? Ever since 1989, a Wensleydale cheese-loving inventor and his beloved dog have starred in four short films and two features, every one of these adventures utterly joyous. Without Wallace and Gromit, the great Aardman Animation possibly would’ve never been discovered outside the UK, and arguably stop-motion as a medium might not have ever gotten critical recognition.

Everyone knows the magic trick by now: creator Nick Park builds his sets and character models out of Plasticine modeling clay, adjusting them in every frame to give the illusion of movement. The effect still looks amazing to this day, and the care put into the craft is a huge part of what makes the franchise feel like such a labor of love. But there’s...

Aardman Animations' Wallace and Gromit have stolen audiences' hearts since they debuted in the 1989 stop-motion animated short film, Wallace & Gromit: A Grand Day Out. The Oscar-winning British dog and inventor duo have appeared in multiple short films, plus a feature film, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Now, they have a new feature film streaming on Netflix.

In Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, Wallace introduces a new invention, the Nifty Odd-jobbing Robot, better known as Norbot. However, Wallace and Gromit's old enemy, the penguin Feathers McGraw, wants revenge. Feathers McGraw was introduced in the 1993 short film Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers, where he tried to steal the Blue Diamond. Feathers is now serving time in a zoo, and he hacks the original Norbot to turn evil and create more Norbots.

The "world's best boss" – Feathers McGraw – is back with a vengeance.

"He's a household gnome! What could possibly go wrong?" Netflix has revealed the full official trailer trailer for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, a new Wallace & Gromit animated movie ready to watch soon. It premiered at AFI Fest in LA last month. The "world's best boss" – Feathers McGraw – is back with a vengeance. A brand new epic Wallace & Gromit family adventure from Aaardman, the first full length W&g feature film in 19 years since BAFTA & Academy Award-winning The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. The film focuses on Gromit's concern that Wallace has become over-dependent on his inventions, which proves justified when Wallace invents a "smart gnome" 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 the sinister forces and save his master. With the voices of Ben Whitehead, Peter Kay,...

This is the first Wallace & Gromit movie to release since 2008's A Matter of Loaf and Death, and also the first to feature new Wallace actor Ben Whitehead, with him taking over from the late Peter Sallis.

Fans have waited patiently for the latest Wallace and Gromit adventure, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, and it looks like our patience has very much paid off. Netflixs new Wallace and Gromit outing continues a coveted trend held by few franchises, with Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl joining previous outings Wallace & Gromit in The Wrong Trousers, Wallace & Gromit: A Grand Day Out, and Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave in achieving a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. While the 2005 movie Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit didn't quite reach perfection, it still managed to achieve a hugely impressive 95%.

David Opie of Radio Times awards Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl a perfect score of 5/5 and calls the movie as sharp as cheddar.

With a script as sharp as cheddar and a voice cast to match, the movie's lean 79-minute runtime flies by faster than you'd like, but only because it's so good.

Nick Park and the stop-motion, claymation masters at Aardman Animations are back with a new Wallace & Gromit feature that rivals their best Oscar-winning films. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl will have audiences laughing hysterically at the return of a diabolical villain and his dastardly plan for fiendish retribution. Hide your valuables, folks. Feathers McGraw, the infamous criminal mastermind penguin, first seen in The Wrong Trousers, has again donned his rubber glove hat in a comical tale of technology gone awry. Our lovable protagonists learn the hard way that machine dependence isn't all it's cracked up to be.

The first reviews are in for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, the long-awaited sequel fans didn't know they needed, and it could be the best reviewed movie in the entire stop-motion franchise. Vengeance Most Fowl sees Wallace and his trusty canine side-kick, Gromit, return for a fifth feature film outing, and their first movie since The Curse of the Were-Rabbit way back in 2005. After a nearly 20-year hiatus, fans were worried the new sequel would meet the same fate as 2023's Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, which received mixed reviews from fans and critics. But, Aardman appears to be back in top form with the return of the cheese-loving duo.

At the time of writing, only 7 reviews have been submitted to Rotten Tomatoes, but these early opinions promise a great fifth outing for Wallace & Gromit. Of the seven reviews, all of them gave near-perfect scores. Could Vengeance Most Fowl...

It’s been 31 years since Feathers McGraw, the silent, Arsène Lupin-esque penguin from Nick Park’s “The Wrong Trousers,” was caught trying to steal a certain diamond from a city museum. Confined to 10 years of imprisonment inside the city zoo, he’s now back in Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham’s Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl and out for revenge.

Evincing the charm and splendiferously droll humor that’s endeared Wallace and Gromit to audiences since 1989’s “A Grand Day Out,” the film is reliably uncomplicated in its plotting. In the nearly two decades since our titular duo’s last feature outing, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, societal reliance on smart technology has only ballooned. And, it seems, so has that of the mild-mannered Wallace (Ben Whitehead). Indeed, the eccentric, cheese-obsessed inventor has grown so addicted to building contraptions that he’s become blind to Gromit’s needs and desires,...

Now, from what the streamer shows off in the trailer, the friends will be facing off with their first foe from the Oscar-winning 1993 short The Wrong Trousers: Feathers McGraw.

"Who could possibly be behind all this?" Netflix has just revealed the exciting first look teaser trailer for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, a brand new Wallace & Gromit animated movie arriving to watch this winter. The "world's best boss" – Feathers McGraw – is back with a vengeance. A brand new epic Wallace & Gromit family adventure from Aaardman, the first full length W&g feature film in 19 years since BAFTA and Academy Award-winning The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

With the voices of Ben Whitehead, Peter Kay, Lauren Patel, Reece Shearsmith, Diane Morgan,...

While Aardman creations Wallace and Gromit have seen their universe expanded with Shaun the Sheep films and even videogames, they haven’t been prominent in a proper feature film since 2005’s The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. That is now about to change some two decades later with Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, a stop-motion adventure directed by Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, with voice acting from Ben Whitehead, Peter Kay, Lauren Patel, Reece Shearsmith, Diane Morgan, Adjoa Andoh, Muzz Khan, and Lenny Henry. Set for an AFI Fest premiere on October 27, an awards-qualifying run in December, and a Netflix release on January 3, the first trailer has now arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: “Aardman’s four-time Academy Award®-winning director Nick Park and Emmy Award-nominated Merlin Crossingham return with a brand new epic adventure, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. In this next installment, Gromit’s concern that Wallace is...

Whether it’s a rocket that blasts to a moon made or cheese, or a pair of robotic (wrong) trousers, Wallace simply can’t stop inventing things – often to his own detriment. And that looks set to be the case once again in Aardman’s next Wallace & Gromit outing. Incoming feature film Vengeance Most Fowl is due to hit the BBC and Netflix before the end of 2024 – and while we know it’ll feature the return of the only and only nefarious penguin Feathers McGraw, it also revolves around a fresh Wallace contraption: meet the ‘Smart Gnome’.

A freshly-unveiled clip from the new film sees Wallace introduce his latest gizmo to Gromit – cheery garden helper 'Norbot'. No prizes for guessing that the smart gnome will likely end up spiralling out of Wallace’s control. The character is voiced by none other than Reece Shearsmith, joining the already-announced likes of Peter Kay,...

Feathers McGraw is back in Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, much to the joy of fans who have long awaited his return. The decision to bring back the evil penguin was motivated by an idea involving gnomes in the Aardman world. Gromit was originally supposed to talk, but became a beloved character through the animator's happy accident.

The newest Wallace and Gromit film, titled Vengeance Most Fowl, is bringing back one of the most iconic villains in stop-motion animation, the evil penguin Feathers McGraw. Fans have been desperate to see the character come back to the big screen since his debut in The Wrong Trousers, and Nick Park, the creator of Wallace and Gromit, has revealed why it's finally time for the character to make his long-awaited return.

Speaking to Variety, Nick Park looked back on his career as a stop-motion animator, and looked ahead to his next project,...

Four years ago, Rebel Moon filmmaker Zack Snyder and producing partner and wife Deborah Snyder met with Netflix executives to discuss possibilities in animation.

The medium was growing fast inside the company, as fast as its subscriber base. One exec threw out the idea of doing something with Norse mythology. Zack Snyder, who had spent much of his career making movies with grand mythological overtones, took to it. Partnering with storyboard artist and animation director Jay Oliva, the Snyders eventually came up with a love and revenge story titled Twilight of the Gods.

“We pitched them an outline; they had a few notes but they let us have free reign,” Deborah Snyder told The Hollywood Reporter at a Netflix animation event Thursday. “They had no guardrails, no limitations.”

That lack of guardrails or limitations may be the best way to describe the free-wheeling, anything and everything goes ethos that has overtaken Netflix’s animation arm.

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is the name of Aardman Animation’s next animated feature in the franchise that will debut in the UK over Christmas on BBC and BBC iPlayer and the rest of the world on Netflix.

The news was announced on Thursday at the ‘Next On Netflix: Animation’ presentation in Los Angeles as the streamer demonstrated the steps it is taking to attract top talent and build an animation studio to rival the Hollywood powers.

Three Shades of Brown is a funky new mini-series written and produced by Shai Hussain. Starring Muzz Khan (Nas), Omar Khan (Ravi) and Navinder Bhatti (Harry), the show explores the relationship between three twenty-something men who are all Asian, yet have conflicting personalities. BollySpice presents to you our review of Season One of Three Shades of Brown, where we discuss all eight episodes. Enjoy!

Episode 1 – Live in a Penthouse

So the pilot episode kicks off with Nas, who plays the rude boy. He’s seen acting like a DJ and imagining as if he’s in a nightclub, when he’s actually doing all this in his bedroom. You’re then introduced to the other two key characters. There’s Harry, who plays the coconut and moves in with Nas, and Ravi, who plays the freshie who is too desi. This 5 minute episode is largely designed to introduce us to...

There’s been some excellent web series being written, produced, directed and acted in by young British Asian artists. We thought we would take a moment to present to you our top picks for you to enjoy:

‘The Loedown’

Based on Mills & Boon books by Harlequin, ‘Jessie Loe’ is the Executive Pa to General Manager of The Chatsfield Hotel. Set in St James Court Hotel (a Taj hotel) the series follows Jessie’s journey of a bet to fulfil. Jessie is played by Asian actress Sheena Bhattessa, who featured in Bollywood films Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and Love Aaj Kal.

You can check out the episodes at: https://www.youtube.com/user/JessiesLoedown

‘Diary of a Bad Man’

Written, directed by and starring Humza Arshad, this is undoubtedly the YouTube king of web-comedies. His web series follows the antics of Bad Man, a self-styled fictional character, which has generated over 56 million...

Officially selected for the New York Indian Film Festival, British webseries Three Shades of Brown will hold its World Premiere in the United States on Tuesday 6th May 2014, being shown in its entirety as a stand-alone 40-minute film.

Receiving the good news before even the pilot episode was released, Creator Shai Hussain remarks, “It’s great to see the faith that Nyiff holds for Three Shades, selecting to screen it even before we had a chance to prove there was an audience for such material.”

The film will be shown with English subtitles, due to feedback that one of the character’s Northern dialects was difficult to understand for the American ear.

Shai Hussain will be flying over to attend the festival, alongside one of the show’s stars, Omar Khan, and Associate Producer Hena Hussain. Executive Producer Pulkit Datta will also be in attendance, whose latest short film Acetate Diary...

Directed by Shai Hussain, Three Shades of Brown is a comedy web series exploring the lives of three very different British Asians.

Already selected to be screened for the New York Film Festival, the London based web series explores what happens when Rude Boy Nas (an Asian who thinks he is “black”), Freshie Ravi (an Asian who is just too Desi) and Coconut Harry (an Asian who thinks he is “white”) move in together.

Not only filling the niche of much needed British Asian drama, Three Shades of Brown is also breaking the stereotype of Asians portrayed as the other- something profusely depicted in media.

As one random reviewer put it:

“Where’s the poverty? The honour killings? The forced marriages? The terrorists? This isn’t Asian at all!”

Scheduled to go online on the 14th of April 2014, 6pm BST, BollySpice were invited to preview 8 webisodes, with each being 3-6 minutes in duration.

Whether you are British or not, the ‘rude boy’, the ‘freshie’ and the ‘coconut’ have graced your life with their presence.

A ‘rude boy’ is that lawless South Asian lad who likes Ska or Reggae. In other words, a brown guy trying to be black. A coconut is yes indeed an oval brown seed of a tropical palm lined with white flesh. However, a ‘coconut’ is also a brown guy trying to be white. A ‘freshie’ is an immigrant who has just arrived in the country- that brown guy who is oblivious to how brown he is.

Now, here’s a question: What happens when a ‘rude boy’, a ‘freshie’ and a ‘coconut’ move into a London flat together?

Answer: Three Shades of Brown! Three highly conflicting personalities that can only spell Doom!

The multi talented DJ, writer and director Shai Hussain presents Three Shades of Brown, a comedy web...
