Read our privacy policy It feels a little silly expounding on a metaphor when we’re talking about a 79-minute Wallace & Gromit feature, but Vengeance Most Fowl has laid one out like cheese in a mousetrap. The triumphant return of two Northern icons – the cheddar-fixated, genius inventor Wallace and his mute, downtrodden canine companion Gromit – sees the pair face the most topical of foes: an AI gnome, or Norbot, invented by Wallace as a way to further automate his life. Certain scenes here have clearly benefited from a little computer wizardry in order to expand the world’s horizons, whether it’s a splash of water during a hilariously un-enthralling canal boat chase, or a climactic explosion that turns Gromit into Mission: Impossible’s Ethan Hunt, but the beauty of it all lies in the balance. ‘Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl’ screens on Christmas Day on the BBC in the UK, and arrives on Netflix internationally on 3 January
