Wallace and Gromit are sliding back into our lives like a runaway train made of Wensleydale! After nearly two decades of silence, Aardman is blessing us with another chaotic masterpiece: Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, coming to Netflix on January 3, 2025. Yes, thatβs rightβjust in time to cancel your New Yearβs resolutions.
Plot Twist? Gnomes Gone Rogue
The new movie promises all the quirky, claymation madness we know and love, but with a high-tech twist. Wallace, our favorite cheese-obsessed inventor with a fashion sense straight out of a sweater catalog, is up to his old tricks. This time, however, he’s taken it too far by creatingβ¦ a βsmartβ garden gnome. (Because nothing screams “cutting-edge innovation” like lawn ornaments.)
But wait, it gets weirder: The gnome starts developing a mind of its own. Thatβs right. Skynet but make it… quaint. Gromitβour beloved, perpetually stressed-out dogβrealizes something fishy is going on. And spoiler: It’s not just because the gnome keeps trying to outshine the garden flamingos.
Things escalate when itβs revealed that some vengeful character from Wallaceβs past is pulling the strings. (Are we finally getting closure on Feathers McGraw? A penguin with that kind of evil energy doesnβt just disappear, my friends.) With his beloved inventorβs lifeβand snack supplyβon the line, itβs up to Gromit to step in, battle these sinister forces, and save Wallace before he can invent something even more ridiculousβ¦ like a WiFi-enabled teapot.
Will Wallace Ever Learn? Spoiler: Probably Not.
Honestly, it’s about time Gromit got the hero treatment he deserves. While Wallace has been busy inventing chaos with zero regard for health and safety laws, poor Gromit has been saving the day, running on nothing but nerves and dog biscuits. Someone get that dog a raiseβand maybe a vacation. Preferably somewhere gnome-free.
Trailer Incoming
And yes, a trailer for this claymation extravaganza is dropping soon! Expect the usual antics: gadgets going haywire, Wallace shouting βCheese, Gromit!β in pure panic, and Gromitβs trademark side-eye so withering it could take the paint off a garden shed.
Will Wallace learn to stop relying on his half-baked inventions? Probably not. Will Gromit once again save the day with quiet brilliance and an alarming amount of emotional intelligence for a dog? Absolutely. And weβll be there for every glorious second of it.
Mark your calendars for January 3, 2025. Wallace and Gromit are backβand this time, itβs gnome time. π§
