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, that’s right—just in time to cancel your New Year’s 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 creating… a “smart” 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. That’s right. Skynet but make it… quaint. Gromit—our beloved, perpetually stressed-out dog—realizes something fishy is going on. And spoiler: It’s not just because the gnome keeps trying to outshine the garden flamingos.
Things escalate when it’s revealed that some vengeful character from Wallace’s past is pulling the strings. (Are we finally getting closure on Feathers McGraw? A penguin with that kind of evil energy doesn’t just disappear, my friends.) With his beloved inventor’s life—and snack supply—on the line, it’s up to Gromit to step in, battle these sinister forces, and save Wallace before he can invent something even more ridiculous… 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 raise—and 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 “Cheese, Gromit!” in pure panic, and Gromit’s 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 we’ll be there for every glorious second of it.
Mark your calendars for January 3, 2025. Wallace and Gromit are back—and this time, it’s gnome time. 🧀
