Clocking in with a runtime of just under one hour and twenty minutes, this Wallace and Gromit film was the perfect length to pass as a full length feature film, and still keep viewers engaged throughout.
Over fifteen years on from Wallace and Gromit's earlier adventures, Vengeance Most Fowl brings the return of the hardened criminal, and yet still somehow kind of cute, penguin: Feathers McGraw. Seeking revenge on the 'diamond geezers' Wallace and Gromit, Feathers seeks to use Wallace's own smart inventions against him...the terrifying Norbot gnomes. But will he succeed?
Families up and down the United Kingdom will have spent Christmas evening wrapped up warm and comfortable in their sitting rooms, happily enjoying this new film together, and my own family was added to this number.
Vengeance Most Fowl was a lovely film to add to the Wallace and Gromit franchise, with an interesting plot that added some more modern elements to remain relevant for younger viewers, as well as keeping the characters much the same as those we have loved and known for many years.
This film was absolutely packed with laughs for all ages from the beginning right until the very end, and yet this comedy assisted with the plot rather than replaced it.
Ben Whitehead did a wonderful job of following in the footsteps of the late Peter Sallis, as voice is such an important part in defining a character, and Whitehead remained true to the Wallace that Sallis created and we have all loved for so long.
All in all it was a brilliant family film, with crystal clear animation, a gripping plot, and much comedy, that I would recommend to any family with a wide spread of ages as there is truly something for everyone, and I sincerely hope that they continue with this franchise in years to come.
