Here’s everything you need to know about Wallace and Gromit and their new film.

Who are Wallace and Gromit?

Wallace and Gromit are beloved British animated characters. Wallace is an eccentric, cheese-obsessed inventor, while his loyal and silent dog, Gromit, is often the brains behind his adventures.

They debuted in the 1989 short film A Grand Day Out and quickly became cultural icons thanks to their unique stop-motion animation and charming, humorous stories. The duo won three Oscars:

The Wrong Pants (1993) won Best Animated Short in 1994.
A Close Shave (1995) also won Best Animated Short Film in 1996.
His first feature film, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2006.

Wallace and Gromit’s clever storytelling – and their captivating personalities and creative mishaps – have earned them a special place in the hearts of audiences around the world.

What is the plot of Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl?

The film features the return of Feathers McGraw. He was the silent but deadly criminal mastermind put behind bars in the first Wallace and Gromit film, 1993’s The Wrong Pants.
