Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl Review
Back To Blogs List
Gromit is a good dog and a resourceful problem solver. One would argue that the intuitive dog of many generations has the same attitude towards technology as Generation X. Gromit is well aware of the potential dangers of Wallace's new inventions. Nevertheless, he quickly adapts to each device and finds ways to correct its misuse. At least, that's what happened in the 1993 short film "The Wrong Trousers." Here's hoping Gromit does it again when his arch nemesis Wallace returns in Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham's new animated film, Wallace & Gromit Strike Back. The film is available to watch on Flixtor film
While animated penguins are usually cute, like "Happy Feet," fans know Feathers McGraw is a tough guy. This fearsome flightless bird often disguises himself as a chicken by wearing a rubber glove on his head. Unfortunately, McGraw is equally adept at exploiting security flaws in Wallace's inventions, such as hijacking the inventor's mechanical pants in the aforementioned short film. Luckily, the resourceful Gromit thwarted an attempt to steal the giant blue diamond. Since then, Mr. McGraw has been attending the local zoo.
Life for Wallace and Gromit went on as usual. Unfortunately for Gromit, this meant a constant parade of new inventions by the prolific Wallace. In his latest invention, the well-meaning tinkerer created the Norbot, a mechanical gnome that completes all gardening tasks in record time, which Gromit finds so relaxing. When Norbot's carved shrubs go viral, Wallace begins to make a lot of money renting out his services. But Gromit instinctively distrusts Norbot's relentlessly cheerful attitude.
Of course, Norbot is the perfect target for Feathers McGraw, who manages to find a gnome android from the zoo prison that hacks into Wallace's systems and resets his apparently evil character. Soon Norbot replicates himself, becoming an army of robotic gnomes and unleashing a crime wave for which Wallace is automatically held responsible. Naturally, soon-to-be-retired Chief Inspector Albert Mackintosh remains as clueless as he was in Wallace & Gromit: The Hunt for the Giant Rabbit. As always, Gromit must rely on his wits to save himself and Wallace from the chaos caused by the Norbots.
