Wallace and Gromit fans were recently treated to an exciting surprise in the latest movie trailer, as an iconic character made a long-awaited return. After over 30 years, Feathers McGraw is back to cause more chaos in "Vengeance Most Fowl". This evil penguin first captured our attention in the 1993 award-winning short film, "The Wrong Trousers". Despite his absence from our screens, Feathers' menacing behavior has remained a fan favorite and his appearance in the trailer sparked a wave of joy and excitement.
Social media was abuzz with reactions to Feathers' comeback. Twitter user Adele Ankers-Range wrote, "I'm so thrilled to see the man, the myth, the legend - Feathers McGraw - in Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. His return is truly the best Christmas gift anyone could ask for." Others, like StrawBetty_ and Cerys, expressed their excitement through crying, shaking, and even throwing up at the reveal of Feathers in the trailer.
Some fans even went as far as to declare Feathers McGraw as the greatest TV and movie villain of all time, with no room for debate. The 52-second trailer shows our beloved plasticine hero, Wallace, being accused of being an evil inventor by a reporter. As the crime wave in the region continues, Wallace's new invention, a "smart gnome", is blamed for the chaos. But Wallace protests his innocence and the audience is shown scenes of mischief, including a boat emerging from the water with a frightened Gromit on board.
As Wallace tries to figure out who could be behind the incidents, Feathers McGraw is shown playing the piano with his beak and casually sipping from a "World's Best Boss" mug. Nick Park, the creator and director of Wallace and Gromit, shared some insight into the plot of the new 70-minute film. "I had this idea of a film about garden gnomes turning bad for over a decade," he explained, "but I couldn't quite figure out why they would turn bad. Then it hit me - what if Feathers was involved with these gnomes?"
Fans have been eagerly awaiting Feathers' return ever since his first appearance in "The Wrong Trousers" 30 years ago. While he has made cameo appearances in other Wallace and Gromit projects, it felt like the perfect time for the villain to have a more prominent role. Nick Park promised that Feathers will be "so back" and that fans of "Gnome Noir" will be satisfied with his involvement in the film.
This will be the first new Wallace and Gromit content since 2008's "A Matter of Loaf and Death" and only the second feature-length film after 2005's Oscar winner, "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit". The film features a star-studded voice cast, including Peter Kay returning as Chief Inspector Mackintosh, and new members Lauren Patel, Diane Morgan, Reece Shearsmith, Adjoa Andoh, and Lenny Henry.
According to Nick Park, "Vengeance Most Fowl" will have "more bite" and jeopardy than previous Wallace and Gromit adventures. "We needed something with a bit more bite, and someone with a clear and sinister motive," he explained. "Feathers McGraw, having been locked up for 30 years, is the perfect candidate for a villain with revenge on his mind."
In the original 1993 film, Feathers McGraw was a wanted criminal who disguised himself as a chicken with a red rubber glove on his head. He ended up becoming roommates with Wallace and Gromit and used Gromit's techno trousers to help him steal a diamond. However, the dynamic duo managed to foil his plans, and Feathers was sent to prison in a zoo.
Fans in the UK can catch "Vengeance Most Fowl" on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this Christmas season, while international viewers can watch it on Netflix. With such an exciting and highly-anticipated return, it's no wonder that Wallace and Gromit fans are eagerly awaiting this new adventure.
