On January 3, Netflix released Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, following its release in Britain on Christmas. It’s a worthy revival of the Wallace & Gromit series, its first installment in 16 years since 2008’s A Matter of Loaf and Death.
For the uninitiated, Wallace & Gromit is a Claymation series begun with the 1989 short film A Grand Day Out. Wallace is that classic English archetype, an eccentric middle-aged bachelor who fills his house and his time with his hobbies, in his case an array of inventions that include Rube Goldberg–style contraptions to do everything from deposit him from his bed into his bathtub to spreading jam on his toast to using a mechanical hand to pat his dog, Gromit.
