Wallace, Gromit and a familiar foe are back.
The beloved characters return in the first trailer forWallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.
The teaser shows that Wallace has been framed as an “evil inventor,” and he and Gromit set out on another adventure to clear their name.
“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 a synopsis.
“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!”

In this iteration of the beloved stop-motion-animated characters, Ben Whitehead is voicing Wallace (Gromit and Feathers McGraw, of course, are silent). The inventor’s original voice,Peter Sallis, died in 2017.
Reece Shearsmith is the voice behind Norbot, “a ‘Nifty Odd-jobbing Robot’ gnome, designed to help Gromit with his gardening chores,” as directors Park and Crossingham toldNetflix’s Tudum.

“Returning to Wallace and Gromit is like meeting up with family friends,” Park added. “People respond to them because they feel so familiar. They’re like an old, married couple in some ways, who know each other so well — it’s a sort of love-hate relationship, but when the chips are down, they are always there for each other.”
