Lovely animation

I liked it, but I can't say I loved the film. It's an enjoyable experience that entertains from start to finish. The story offers an interesting take on how technology, while essential and helpful in our lives, should never completely replace humans, showing that we can all coexist without one thing overshadowing the other. On top of that, the pacing is well done, with no boring or dragged-out moments, and the runtime feels just right.The characters remain charming and carry the subtle humor that defines the series, but I have to admit that Wallace's personality irritated me at times. His stubbornness and naivety, which are usually endearing, became a bit frustrating, especially when he completely ignores Gromit's warnings and due to his lazy and complacent attitude. Still, the dynamic between them works well and keeps the charm they are known for.The biggest highlight, as always, is the amazing stop-motion animation. It's fascinating to see the level of detail and dedication put into the sets and character movements. There were moments when I found myself admiring the painstaking effort behind every little motion and expression, imagining the time and hard work the team must have put in to achieve such perfection.Overall, I didn't find it amazing or unforgettable, but it's a solid production that does its job well. I'm sure both kids and adults will enjoy it, whether for the nostalgia, the animation, or the clever humor that, even if not always laugh-out-loud funny, keeps a constant smile on the viewer's face.

Another grand day out!

In a world that's become increasingly scary and divided throughout the year, Nick Park and the team at Aardman deliver unto us two shining beacons of hope when they're needed most, to remind us of the joyous charm and wonders in life. Those beacons take the familiar plasticine form of a dimwitted but kind-hearted inventor, and his silently judgemental but ever-loyal dog.The Wrong Trousers and The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, both Academy Award-winners, set the bar staggeringly high for stop-motion storytelling, and were always going to be tough acts to follow. Thankfully, Vengeance Most Fowl combines the best parts of both to deliver yet again, while also seemingly drawing great inspiration from Paddington and Mission: Impossible. The pair remain as aloof and comedic as ever, the animation is the best its ever been, and the jokes-per-minute ratio is impressively unrivalled.Since the pair's last outing in A Matter of Loaf and Death the world has lost the great Peter Sallis. I thought we'd never see Wallace's return, but I'm happy to report that two minutes in I breathed a sigh of relief. Ben Whitehead does an excellent job in the titular role, capturing the same whimsy as Sallis while being just as entertaining and charming. Equally charming is the wonderful score, with Lorne Balfe taking the reins from Julian Nott and once again proving that, to me, few things in life are as instantly mood-lifting as the W&G theme.Knowing how long it takes to fully realise a stop-motion project (Were-Rabbit took five years to create), it's also remarkable how timely the story is for today. In a year that's seen a concerning rise in the use of AI in film projects, it's delightful to see a strong stance against it come from a film crafted in almost exactly the opposite manner; not only does the film itself portray machine minds as the death of imagination and creativity, but Aardman's immaculately hand-crafted stop-motion and stylised adventures stand as a testament to the power of human artistry, and will forever remain timelessly appealing as they have for 35 years and counting.Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is a film moulded with love. Thank you Nick Park, for the years of endless joy you've given the world with Wallace & Gromit. Everyone should do themselves a favour and have a grand day out with these two old friends.

Cracking quality.

A great movie, after a very long wait. These characters have the same charm and comedy brilliance as the all time greats. Gromit, although animation, has the same dead-pan timing as Stan Laurel and to achieve that in animation is brilliance.The key to W&G is that they never stray far from their roots and this was their best long form outing so far, the plot has so many nods to movies and a level of brilliant comedic detail in the design and smaller props. Always read the book covers and look around to see these wonderful details.I might be alone but I noticed quite a few nods to Tim Burton's 'Batman Returns' especially in a moment with a submarine and a rubber duck!This was a great return to form after the split with DREAMWORKS and it seems that the producing team did a cracking job on keeping it real.A note to say although Peter Sallis will always be much missed the vocal performance by Ben Whitehead is pitch perfect and a flawless interpretation.I'd love to see the studio revisit Pirates and of course give us a few more W & G adventures in the years to come.
