Wallace and Gromit film features redesigned puppets and explores technology themes

Aardman Animations is finishing its latest film, "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl," set to stream on Netflix on January 3, 2025. The film has been qualified for Best Animated Feature Oscar consideration. The movie features Wallace, who creates a smart gnome named Norbot, leading to chaos with his dog Gromit. The puppets have been redesigned, with Wallace and Gromit now about 8 inches tall, using a mix of clay and silicone for better movement. Directors Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham explore themes of technology and friendship in the film. Wallace's new computer reflects a retro style, while the story highlights the impact of tech on their relationship.
