Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl
Description
From Netflix and Aardman’s four-time Academy Award®-winning director Nick Park and Emmy Award-nominated Merlin Crossingham return with a brand new epic adventure, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. In this next installment, Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that seems to develop a mind of its own. When it emerges that a vengeful figure from the past might be masterminding things, it falls to Gromit to battle sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again!
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl will begin streaming on Netflix Jan. 3, 2025.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
Nick Park is a four time Academy Award® winner, three in the category of Best Animated Short Film—Creature Comforts, Wallace & Gromit films The Wrong Trousers , and A Close Shave and Best Animated Feature Film for Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
All four films were created and produced at Aardman, in Bristol, where Park is a director.
Nick joined Aardman in 1985 to complete his college film A Grand Day Out and served as a director and animator on numerous projects including pop promos, title sequences and inserts for children’s television. Alongside Peter Lord, Nick co-directed the studio’s first feature film, the highly acclaimed box office hit Chicken Run. The World of Wallace & Gromit is always in Nick’s mind, but his most recent feature film featured a very different world that he has wanted to share, the pre-historic world of Early Man.
Merlin Crossingham started his career at Aardman as a key animator, mainly working on commercials, before joining big feature projects Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, where he animated some of the film’s most memorable scenes. From there he progressed to co-directing the Emmy®-nominated Creature Comforts America.
As well as directing commercials, Merlin has voiced and directed Aardman’s classic Morph series since 2014 and is Creative Director of Wallace & Gromit, directing all aspects of the brand from merchandise to live shows, commercials to short films.
He was animation director for Nick Park’s feature film Early Man and creative director on the Wallace & Gromit augmented reality project, The Big Fix-Up, which launched in 2021.
