After it was released to rave reviews, the film hasn’t disappointed Turkey-stuffed fans as they settled down for a chuckle or two, or 10. But one aspect of the film has left a mark on viewers: the return of Feathers McGraw. The new Wallace And Gromit film sees the evil penguin, who was first seen in 1993’s Bafta and Oscar-winning short The Wrong Trousers, return to seek revenge on the inventor and his loyal beagle.
The creepy, beady-eyed penguin clearly haunted a few childhoods as fans took to social media to express their terror. ‘Feathers McGraw still terrifying 30 years on. Still brilliant family TV!’ wrote @jsvickery, while @roachrxptrs said: ‘Pretty sure the penguin from Wallace and Gromit was one of the scariest villains from childhood.’.
‘There are people outside the UK who simply do not realise we have just seen the return of the greatest villain in TV history,’ agreed @brianstokes92, while @mrdavemacleod said: ‘Hands down the greatest movie villain of all time.’. Others simply raved at the film, which aired on BBC One, as @_Neelsreeldeel wrote: ‘What a brilliant return for Wallace and Gromit. Hilarious from start to finish, Vengeance Most Fowl brings back one of the all-time great villains, Feathers, in brilliant fashion who is more dastardly than ever. Plus, the local humour, superb!’.
