Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is an upcoming British stop motion animated comedy film produced by the British studio Aardman Animations. A stand-alone sequel to Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), it will be directed by Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, from a screenplay by Mark Burton and a story by Park and Burton, and produced by Claire Jennings.

The film is scheduled for release by BBC Film in the United Kingdom and Netflix everywhere else in 2024.[2]

Premise[edit]

Gromit's concern that Wallace has become overdependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a "smart gnome" that seems to develop a mind of its own. As events spiral out of control, it falls to Gromit to put aside his qualms and battle sinister forces - or Wallace may never be able to invent again.

Additionally, Diane Morgan, Adjoa Andoh and Lenny Henry will appear in cameo roles.[4]

Production[edit]

During production of the A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008), Nick Park remarked publicly on difficulties with working with DreamWorks Animation during the production of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), such as the constant production notes and demands to alter the material to appeal more to American children.[5][6] This discouraged him from producing another feature film for years, with Peter Lord noting that Park preferred the "half hour format".[7]

A stand-alone sequel to The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was announced in January 2022, with Park and Merlin Crossingham as directors, from a screenplay by Mark Burton, while Claire Jennings was announced to produce.[2][3]

The factory that made Lewis Newplast, the modeling clay used by Aardman, shut down in March 2023; Aardman purchased enough remaining clay to cover the new Wallace & Gromit film.[8] The Daily Telegraph initially reported that the studio may not be able to produce new films afterwards due to a lack of clay, but Aardman later released a statement clarifying that it would find a new supplier.[9][10]

The film's title was confirmed to be Vengeance Most Fowl on June 6, 2024, alongside the reveal that Feathers McGraw, the antagonist of Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers (1993), would return.[1]

Release[edit]

The film is due to release in 2024 on Netflix worldwide, except for the UK, where it will debut first on the BBC before also coming to Netflix at a later date.[2][3]
