Royalty, War, and Hollywood Glamour: Who Do You Think You Are? UK Returns!

It’s not always the case that winning top entertainment awards makes a film a great watch. Some can be tough to get through but they are still very deserving of the accolade. But two top awards for a movie available on Netflix is a huge signal to make sure you see it if you haven't already.

If you haven’t yet seen the latest Wallace and Gromit animation Vengeance Most Fowl, what have you been doing? Where have you been? It’s a comedy classic and deserves your attention.

If you weren't sure, then the Aardman animation was given two big thumbs up as recommendations on Sunday night. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts, more usually known as BAFTA celebrated the film with a couple of awards. It was awarded a BAFTA each for Best Animated Film and Children's Family Film.

Wallace and Gromit are deserving BAFTA...

Noel Fielding will be returning to work following the abrupt cancelation of his Apple TV+ series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin. The historical comedy was axed by Apple last week mid-way through filming season two.

It was reported that Fielding, who plays the title character in Dick Turpin, had dropped out of the series even though three-quarters of the work had already been completed. The Sun originally claimed that Fielding "failed to come to work" for undisclosed reasons, but there is no official explanation as of yet. Producer Big Talk Studios ultimately decided to completely shut down production on Dick Turpin season two because the project couldn’t be salvaged without Fielding.

Quick Links Philomena Cunk's Interviewing Style in 'Cunk on Life' Why 'Cunk on Life' Works as Both a Documentary and Mockumentary

Everyone loves a good documentary, right? Documentaries are so common that they even have an entire genre solely devoted to their parody. Mockumentaries have become almost as prevalent as docs themselves, with new and innovative send-ups released all the time. One of the latest entries on the list is Netflix's Cunk on Life. The special features Diane Morgan's Philomena Cunk character as she tries to solve the meaning of life. Simple, right?

Cunk is no stranger to the world of "documentary." She's previously tackled Shakespeare, world history, British history, the story of Christmas, and more. What makes Philomena Cunk work, besides the brilliant deadpan humor, is how she toes the line between that humor and actual facts. The various Cunk specials are not straight mockumentaries,...

Tony Hancock’s feature film outings The Rebel and The Punch And Judy Man are getting fresh DVD and Blu-ray releases. More here.

It’s one of the most well known lines in comedy. Tony Hancock goes to give blood and, on being told he’ll be giving a pint, says the immortal words, “I don’t mind giving a reasonable amount, but a pint? That’s very nearly an armful!”.

The writers or those words and many more were Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, who went on to create the hugely successful sitcom Steptoe And Son too.

Hancock made only two forays into film, and they are both being rereleased on DVD and Blu-ray in March.

The first film was The Rebel. Directed by Robert Day, scripted by Galton and Simpson and released in 1961, the synopsis reads as follows:

A self-taught artist with an enthusiasm that far exceeds any ability,...

On Wednesday January 8 2025, CBS broadcasts The Late Show With Stephen Colbert!

Alan Cumming; Diane Morgan Season 10 Episode 57 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” promises to be an entertaining one, featuring actor Alan Cumming and actress Diane Morgan. This episode will showcase the unique charm and humor both guests bring to the stage, making for an engaging night of conversation and laughter.

Alan Cumming, known for his diverse roles in film and television, will likely share stories from his career and insights into his latest projects. His ability to connect with audiences through his wit and charisma is always a highlight on the show. Fans can expect some interesting anecdotes and perhaps a few surprises along the way.

Diane Morgan, celebrated for her comedic talent, will also add her own flair to the episode. Known for her sharp humor and engaging personality, she is sure...

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is back tonight, ending its holiday hiatus. Fans will be even happier to know the show has big things planned for the week.

Stephen Colbert signed off just before Christmas. He had spent the final few days of 2024 mocking "President" Elon Musk and still trying to wrap his head around some of President-elect Donald Trump's administration picks.

A refreshed and recharged Colbert opens up the Ed Sullivan Theater tonight for a brand-new episode. It comes on January 6, giving the late-night TV host a chance to acknowledge the anniversary of the 2021 insurrection.

To do that, Colbert welcomes former Illinois congressman Adam Kinzinger to the show. Kinzinger was a member of the January 6 committee in the House. Expect the two to discuss what's happened (or hasn't) since that infamous day, the incoming Trump administration, and more.

Then, old Late Show friend Jon Batiste is back in the building.

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...

After becoming an online sensation because of how dense she can be and her occasional zingers, hopelessly clueless TV journalist Philomena Cunk (portrayed Diane Morgan) made the big move to Netflix with her new comedy special, Cunk on Life. As its title bluntly puts it, the special follows Cunk as she tries to find the meaning of life in her uniquely foolish but endearing way.

At first glance, Cunk on Life is little more than an upgraded version of Cunk on Shakespeare or Cunk on Earth. Once again, Cunk goes around the world, meets and annoys experts, and slowly walks around historical sites and fancy buildings for glamor shots. But since it gives existentialism a special focus, Cunk on Life shows itself to be an unexpected but welcome refutation of the kind of self-importance that has taken over mainstream comedy.

Cunk on Life Is a Rejection of Current Comedy’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.

4.5/5 Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most...

Seemingly intelligent but woefully oblivious documentarian Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan) is back to confound some of academia’s best players in her new feature-length Netflix special Cunk on Life. The special takes a hilarious look at the inner workings of life and living things, absolutely measuring up to the sensational satire of its five-part predecessor. And don’t worry, Cunk on Earth fans: you will not miss out on random promotional spoofs, or the series’ traditional incorporation of “Pump Up The Jam” by Technotronic (feat. Felly).

They say you can’t go home again, but Hallmark’s hit series The Way Home proves that’s not entirely true. The drama, which kicks off its third season Friday at 9/8c (streaming the next day on Hallmark+), stars Andie MacDowell and Chyler Leigh as an estranged mother and daughter who must find their way back together after the latter moves home with her teenage daughter (Sadie Laflamme-Snow’s Alice) amidst a divorce. They’re aided in their growth and healing via a mysterious pond on the property that allows various members of the Landry family to travel through time, an experience that reveals the answers to as many questions as it creates.

Upon first glance, The Way Home appears to be a big swing for Hallmark, which is still best known for romantic fare and its annual Christmas-themed movie slate, but beneath the surface it’s a compelling family drama,...

January is about new beginnings, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some pieces of the past hanging around this month. For much of the world, 2025 offers the first chance to see some of 2024’s most notable films and performances, including limited December releases like Hard Truths, September 5, Better Man, The Brutalist, and Sing Sing (a summer 2024 release getting a second chance in theaters).

"We problem-solve ahead by story-boarding." A series of behind-the-scenes videos have arrived online for Aardman's latest animated movie Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. These promos are also a reminder that this delightful, nerdy, wacky comedy is now available on Netflix worldwide to watch anytime you want. It's a blast! The "world's best boss" – Feathers McGraw – is back with a vengeance.

Diane Morgan’s character, Philomena Cunk, is blatantly stupid but also strangely wise. She first appeared on TV in Charlie Brooker’s “Weekly Wipe.” Against the pretentiousness common in modern media, she stood out as someone who wasn’t intelligent. Cunk’s humor, which combines innocent questions with deadpan delivery, makes you think about the very nature of knowledge and experience.

Cunk has changed over time, going through shows that deal with weighty topics like Shakespeare and history. From a simple spoof to a philosophical comedy that makes us question the basis of our beliefs, what started as a joke has grown into a satirical lens through which we look at the absurdities of life.

Diane Morgan does a great job with her role. She exudes a rare combination of sincerity and absurdity while maintaining a detached demeanor that heightens the comedic effect. Lines like “Does God have a brother named Simon?...

Black Mirror's Netflix parody Streamberry has made a surprising return in a completely different show, Cunk on Life. This raises some interesting questions regarding Streamberry’s role in the Black Mirror universe, one of the best British shows on Netflix, and what this means for one of Brooker’s recurring characters, Philomena Cunk.

Cunk on Life debuted on BBC Two at 9 pm GMT on December 30th, 2024. UK viewers can stream it on BBC iPlayer, while international audiences can find it on Netflix starting January 2nd, 2025. Black Mirror season 7 is also one of the most exciting TV series returning in 2025. While they are very different projects, they share some similarities, the latest being the appearance of the Streamberry streaming service.

Philomena Cunk asking the big questions; the return of one of film history’s greatest villains; the start of a groundbreaking rights deal for live wrestling; an epic Western drama that captures the brutality of the American frontier; Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz headlining a spy caper; and Gabriel Basso returning to his breakout role are some of the highlights among the new films and series hitting Netflix in January.

On Jan. 2, we will see the welcome return of Philomena Cunk on Netflix, perhaps the world’s greatest investigative reporter who is simultaneously the worst informed person on TV. Born from the mind of Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker, deadpan queen Diane Morgan stars once more as Cunk in Cunk on Life, a follow-up mockumentary series to Cunk on Earth and Cunk on Britain. In Cunk on Life, once again Cunk asks absurdist, baffling and genuinely hilarious questions about the...

Philomena Cunk is nothing short of a genius, deep down, and there are loads of iconic quotes from her worth pondering before the release of Cunk on Life. Diane Morgan as Philomena Cunk, who made her debut as the character in the hilarious commentary show Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, which is always a delight to watch. In fact, Philomena's comical segments, one-off specials, and shows like Cunk on Earth are among the best mockumentary TV comedy series ever.

The confused and ill-informed presenter hardly ever knows what she's really talking about, although this is a significant part of the character's appeal. The definition of the Cunk surname is a gag in and of itself, higlightinh one of the reasons she's so funny. Cunk delves into the mysteries of humanity's past and present across several areas, and with Cunk on Life due to air in January 2025, it's worth revisiting some of her most iconic quotes.

With an extensive catalog to choose from, Netflix continues to offer its subscribers various options for their home viewing experience. As January approaches, the numerous films slated to hit the streaming platform are certainly some viewers won’t want to pass up. No matter what viewers might be in the mood to watch, it’s likely they’ll be able to find something worth their while on Netflix.

Numerous non-English language films are scheduled for release over the coming weeks, and they include a variety of different genres that viewers should most definitely explore. However, there are also plenty of English-language movies headed to the streaming platform, which subscribers will certainly want to add to their lists. From action to comedy to drama, Netflix has everything viewers could possibly want next month.

Philomena Cunk is back, and this time, the natural successor to David Attenborough is even less prepared yet even more confident than ever before as she tackles her most ambitious subject yet: life itself. Following the global success of Cunk on Earth, somebody called Diane Morgan is apparently returning to the "role" of Cunk in Cunk on Life as she embarks on a journey to answer humanity’s biggest questions, like “What’s the point of it all?” and “Why are motivational wall signs ruining perfectly good kitchens?”...

Another year is upon us which means another round of 365 days of the same drill. We will go back to our regular day-to-day jobs and will continue what we did last year. But what can make our mood better or destress us is a good movie.

So, what does 2025 have in store for us? Well, Netflix has always got us covered.

The best docuseries that teaches you absolutely nothing is set to return to the BBC this December, but Netflix subscribers will have to wait until January for their next dose of Cunk. Philomena Cunk has put journalists around the world to shame over the last few years, asking hard hitting questions others are too scared to ask, like "how many Three Wise Men were there?" and "when you teach a kid Shakespeare, do their heads grow physically bigger?" Created by Black Mirror mastermind Charlie Brooker, Philomena Cunk is played by British comedian Diane Morgan. Cunk has already teached (which is how she would say it) audiences about our planet and life in Britain. But her next documentary is exploring life itself.

Following the global success of Cunk on Earth, pioneering documentary-maker Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan) will return with her most ambitious quest to date; venturing right up the universe and everything, to examine life itself.

“What’s the point of it all?” is a question humans have been asking themselves since the dawn of time. But as we cling to our dying planet, working round the clock while we’re slowly being replaced by machines, now more than ever, people are desperately looking to make sense of their lives – before someone invents a computer that makes sense of it for them.

This one off special will see Philomena Cunk tackle some of the most complex concepts to have ever been discovered, including Quantum Physics, Existentialism, Nihilism, Hedonism – and at least four other isms – as well as exploring subjects from the big bang to biology, morals to meditation and art to artificial intelligence.

British actress and comedian Diane Morgan is returning to Netflix in January with Cunk on Life, a new one-off special centered on her comedic documentarian character, Philomena Cunk.

Everyone's favorite untrustworthy documentary-maker, Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan), will be back and bolder than ever this Christmas, as she investigates the meaning of life itself. Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker's most iconic character has delighted, confused, and made us fall out of our seats laughing in the genius Cunk on Earth and Cunk on Britain, with the character first making her debut on Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe which ran from 2013 to 2020.

"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,...

Hold onto your crackers, folks — Feathers McGraw is back back back! Now yes, we have known of the felonious fake fowl's return for some time now; his dastardly mugshot adorned the first teaser trailer for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, the feature-length comeback of everyone's favourite dog-and-his-man duo. But now, with the release of the latest trailer for Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham's new Aardman Animation, we've got our first proper look at the beady-eyed villainy that awaits. Check it out below... if you dare:

Feathers McGraw is out of the clink — and out for revenge — in this new, lengthier look at what Park and Crossingham have been calling the world's first 'Gnome Noir'. And it looks like Wallace's (Ben Whitehead) latest invention, smart gnome Norbot (Reece Shearsmith), is the eminently hackable and blissfully unaware lynchpin of McGraw's newest bird-brained scheme. With his slightly-too-cute grin and gently menacing voice,...

Plenty of comedians develop characters they perform, without breaking, on stage and screen. What separates comics like Diane Morgan (aka Philomena Cunk), Martin Short (aka Jiminy Glick), Tyler Perry (Madea) or the late Bob Einstein (Super Dave Osbourne) from Adam Ray is that the character that got him a Netflix special isn’t exactly a character: it’s the former daytime talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw.

Ray talked with me last week, before his sold-out show at New York’s Beacon Theatre as part of the New York Comedy Festival. Read on to find out how he developed the character; translating it from a Comedy Store show to a Netflix special; and what it’s like playing Dr. Phil with Dr. Phil.

2025 is shaping up to movie sequels, as studios continue building on successful franchises. Following an impressive lineup in 2024 with blockbusters like Furiosa, Joker: Folie Deux, and The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, 2025 will continue the trend, bringing even more beloved characters back to the big screen.

Among the most highly anticipated releases are Avatar: Fire and Ash, which returns to the immersive world of Pandora, and Captain America: Brave New World, as Anthony Mackies Sam Wilson takes on the mantle of Captain America in one of the McU's upcoming films. Meanwhile, Tron: Ares aims to revive the iconic digital realm, and Zootopia 2 will reunite fans with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. 2025 will also see new installments from family-friendly franchises, including Paddington in Peru, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, and The Bad Guys 2.

After many years, a staple of the animation world is being revived thanks to the release of Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, Aardman Animation's latest stop-motion effort centered around the beloved duo. 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. Understandably, expectations are high, and directors Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham are aiming high with a story that is both timely and looking back at the series' past.

Plot: In this next installment, Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions 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 sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again!

Review: Few words bring as much joy when paired together as Wallace & Gromit. Since they debuted in the 1989 short film A Grand Day Out, the cheese-loving duo have been the benchmark for claymation films and have inspired countless directors and animators. After three short films released through the mid-nineties, Aardman Animation’s signature creations were not seen until the 2005 feature film The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. With an all-star cast including Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter, that film won the...

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.

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl follows the beloved inventor Wallace and his loyal dog Gromit as they embark on a new adventure to uncover the mystery behind a series of poultry-related incidents in their town. Amid the chaos, they encounter unexpected...

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,...

It has been 19 long years between the first Wallace & Gromit feature in 2005 and now the second in 2024, but it is an understatement to say it was well worth the wait. Nick Park’s and Aardman’s delightful buddy movie, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is an animated film noir merged with the dangers of technology running rampant. Park created this franchise with his 1990 short, A Grand Day Out, and has been going strong with shorts and half-hour specials ever since for W & G. The first feature, Wallace & Gromit: Curse Of The Were-Rabbit was one of the earliest Oscar winners when the feature animation category was established, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see history repeat itself again this year. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is a complete delight that delivers exactly what we had hoped it would – and then some.

In this movie, Wallace (now voiced by...

The Wallace And Gromit movies are thoroughly charming affairs. Following the wacky adventures of the eccentric inventor Wallace and his lovable pooch Gromit, the series has become one of the most beloved British properties. Its continued success is impressive considering how A Grand Day Out originally began life as a university project, before the Bristol stop-motion studio Aardman Animations noticed the short's potential, and hired its producer Nick Park to finish the piece. Wallace & Gromit has become a critically acclaimed animated franchise, having won three Oscars to date.

Wallace & Gromit is set to return for their latest escapade, Vengeance Most Fowl.

Netflix ha publicado el primer tráiler y póster de Wallace y Gromit: La venganza se sirve con plumas.

En Wallace y Gromit: La venganza se sirve con plumas, Gromit está preocupado por la excesiva dependencia que Wallace está desarrollando hacia sus inventos. Una preocupación que demuestra estar del todo justificada cuando Wallace crea un gnomo «inteligente» que parece tener voluntad propia. Cuando se descubre que una figura vengativa del pasado podría estar detrás de todo, Gromit tendrá que luchar contra fuerzas siniestras para salvar a su dueño y evitar que Wallace pierda para siempre la capacidad de inventar.

Dirigida por Nick Park (Chicken Run: Evasión en la granja), ganador de cuatro premios Óscar, y Merlin Crossingham (Morph), nominado a los Emmy, esta nueva entrega en stop-motion cuenta con un reparto de voces formado por Ben Whitehead (¡Piratas!), Peter Kay...

Netflix has debuted a teaser trailer for the upcoming Aardman animation feature ‘Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.’

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 becoming too dependent on his inventions 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 sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again!

The voice cast includes Ben Whitehead returning to voice Wallace, the eccentric cheese-loving inventor, and Peter Kay back as Chief Inspector (formerly PC) Mackintosh. Also onboard are Lauren Patel and Reece Shearsmith with cameos from Diane Morgan,...

Netflix has now unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming return of the cheese-loving stop-motion pair in Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Movie audiences haven't seen the comedy duo, created by British filmmaker and animator Nick Park, on a wild adventure since they started their bakery in 2008's Wallace and Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death.

Iconic Aardman characters Wallace and Gromit are back for feature length special Vengeance Most Fowl, here’s the trailer.

It’s a commonly held view among both animation aficionados and film fans in general that The Wrong Trousers is one of the best animated films ever made. 30 perfect minutes crammed with character, jokes and the most well directed train chase sequence every committed to film, it won a BAFTA and an Academy Award.

It’s perhaps no surprise then that for their big return to the small screen, Wallace and Gromit will face off against their iconic foe, Feathers McGraw once more in Vengeance Most Fowl.

The new film will be bigger in scope than its previous four short films – A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and A Matter of Loaf and Death – and will in fact be a feature film closer in length to their...

Wallace & Gromit teased their return to the big screen on Wednesday with the trailer and release date for Vengeance Most Fowl, the claymation duo’s newest movie.

Directors Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham helm the project, which sees the return of evil chicken mastermind Feathers McGraw, back for revenge following his role in the Oscar-winning 1993 short, The Wrong Trousers.

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, announced by the BBC this summer, will celebrate its world premiere at AFI Fest on Oct. 27, with a limited theatrical release in December. The film will then be released on the BBC in the U.K. at Christmas, and hit Netflix globally on Jan. 3.

In the new movie, Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that seems to develop a mind of its own, per the release. When it emerges that Feathers McGraw might be masterminding things,...

It's been 31 years since everybody's favourite cheese loving inventor Wallace and his four-legged best pal Gromit sent felonious fake fowl Feathers McGraw to jail in Aardman's BAFTA- and Oscar-winning short film The Wrong Trousers. But in the beloved claymation studio's upcoming feature offering Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (the duo's first new outing since 2008's A Matter Of Loaf And Death), the baddest bird in cinema is back — and if the new teaser for the film's anything to go by, then Wallace had better watch his back. Check it out below:

A crime wave sweeping across the Lancashire region. Fingers pointing at "evil inventor" Wallace (Ben Whitehead). Gromit in mortal danger. "Who could possibly be behind this?" exasperatedly asks our feather-brained hero as a helmeted and net wielding Gromit rocks up at the local zoo. Well, if you hadn't guessed already, then the sight of ol' McGraw hammering away...

Wallace and Gromit are finally back.

The stop-motion franchise returns early next year on Netflix with its first feature in 19 years, “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.” And this time, the titular inventor and his dog are taking on AI.

Per the synopsis, Gromit is concerned that Wallace (Ben Whitehead) is becoming too dependent on his inventions, especially after Wallace invents “smart” gnome Norbot (Reece Shearsmith), who 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,” the description reads, “or Wallace may never be able to invent again!”

The “vengeful figure…masterminding things” is none other than villainous penguin Feathers McGraw, who appears for the first time in a feature film after debuting in the franchise’s Oscar-winning short “The Wrong Trousers.”

Earlier this year, it was finally confirmed that a new Wallace & Gromit movie from Aardman Animations is set to arrive on the BBC (in the UK) and Netflix (worldwide) in time for the holidays. Today, it's been confirmed that it will arrive at the start of 2025 on January 3.

Regardless, with a 70-minute runtime, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl will be the first feature-length adventure for these two icons since 2005's The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2008's A Matter of Loaf and Death clocked in at less than 30 minutes).

As we first reported on Toonado.com, a new trailer for the movie has been released highlighting the long-awaited return of iconic villain Feathers McGraw. The twisted penguin debuted in 1993's Oscar-winning The Wrong Trousers and, if what we see here is any indication, he's out for revenge!
