Wallace and Gromit go face to face – or should that be face tobill? – with bird-brained villain Feathers McGraw in the new trailer for Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.
While we already knew The Wrong Trousers' stick-up artist Feathers McGrawwould be returning, the latest trailer provides a longer glimpse at the destruction he has seemingly brought to West Wallaby Street – and beyond.
It all seems to revolve around Wallace’s ‘smart’ gnome which, as per the synopsis onAardman’s Wallace and Gromit site, ‘develops a mind of its own’. You can even see it being the centrepiece of a conspiracy board – suggesting thatsomethinghas gone terribly wrong with Wallace’s latest madcap tinkering.
And that something? Feathers McGraw, naturally. The last time we saw the rubber-glove-wearing villain, he was on his way to be locked up in a zoo. Now, it seems, he’s out – and playing ominous piano music. All Feathers needs now is a moustache to twirl and he’s set.
What piques our interest here, though, is a set-piece involving Gromit, a bridge and a barge, which immediately brings to mind The Wrong Trousers' best-in-class train ‘chase’. Might Aardman be going one better here? We’ll find out this festive season.
Vengeance Most Fowl will be available in the UK on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this Christmas and streaming globally in other regions on Netflix from January 3.
