The latest Wallace and Gromit film has debuted with an impressive 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This week, on Christmas Day, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl aired on the BBC. It was the sixth film following the eccentric inventor and his loyal beagle, with the pair faced with an old foe – penguin Feathers McGraw – who takes revenge on them by reprogramming Wallace’s robotic garden gnome.
After a nearly 20 year wait viewers made it clear they were impressed with the film, praising it after tuning in. One called it ‘hilarious from start to finish’ while another said it was ‘the best film I’ve seen in a long time’. It was also the second most-watched programme of the day, attracting a jaw-dropping 9.38 million viewers.
The movie was a hit with critics too, whose reviews have seen it achieve a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. ‘Vengeance Most Fowl revisits the tried-and-tested Aardman formula: affable absurdity combined with precision-tooled comic timing and a selection of deliciously silly jokes about cheese,’ The Observer review read.
‘The madcap chaos that unfolds hits all the gleeful highs that this franchise always has, with visual gags coming thick and fast, socked over with the immaculate craft we now take for granted,’ the Daily Telegraph shared. Meanwhile The Guardian wrote: ‘It’s exciting, ingenious, funny and an unmissable Christmas treat.’.
