New ‘Wallace & Gromit’ Netflix Film Reveals Christmas Premiere, Title and Teaser Showing Return of Villain Feathers McGraw
variety.comAlex Ritman Feathers McGraw is back! The dastardly penguin supervillain is following in the stop-motion footsteps of fellow animation antagonist Mrs.
Tweedy and making a grand return to screens, this time in the latest “Wallace and Gromit” feature. Whereas Tweedy, arch-nemesis in Aardman‘s 2000 hit “Chicken Run” came back for last year’s sequel “Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget,” McGraw is returning almost 40 years after he was seen in 1993’s Oscar-winning short “Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trouser” for “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.” Details of the new Aardman film — which was first announced in 2022 — have now been revealed, as has a teaser showing McGraw in all his evil glory. “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl” will premiere this Christmas on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Outside of the U.K., the film will be available globally on Netflix.
