Wallace and Gromit are back on the BBC this Christmas with a brand-new adventure, made by multi-award-winning and independent studio Aardman.
The highly-anticipated feature-length film sees Gromit’s growing concern as Wallace becomes over-dependent on his inventions - which proves justified when Wallace creates a ‘smart gnome’ that seems to develop an evil mind of its own. As events begin to spiral out of control, it’s up to Gromit to put aside his qualms and battle sinister forces, or Wallace may never be able to invent again!
We’ve got all the details, so grab a cuppa (maybe some cheese), and get ready to join Wallace and Gromit for Vengeance Most Fowl this Christmas.

Watch the new Wallace and Gromit trailer
The highly-anticipated feature-length film sees Gromit’s growing concern as Wallace becomes over-dependent on his inventions - which proves justified when Wallace creates a ‘smart gnome’ that seems to develop an evil mind of its own. As events begin to spiral out of control, it’s up to Gromit to put aside his qualms and battle sinister forces, or Wallace may never be able to invent again!
Watch the teaser trailer
The teaser trailer gives fans an exciting glimpse into Wallace and Gromit’s latest adventure. After a recent crime wave of stolen garden goods from across the region, Wallace and his pre-programmed smart gnome, Norbot, are the main suspects. While Wallace proclaims his innocence, it’s up to Gromit once again to battle sinister forces, or Wallace will never invent again!
But who could possibly be behind such evil actions?! Here are two sneak previews of the brand-new film.
Watch a clip with Feathers McGraw
Feathers McGraw was last seen in 1993’s BAFTA® and Academy Award® winning short The Wrong Trousers, which saw the manipulative and calculating penguin - already a wanted criminal - rent out a room at Wallace and Gromit’s house where he sought to use Wallace’s techno trousers to steal the blue diamond. Rightfully behind bars ever since, he’s now back for revenge.
Watch a clip with Norbot the Smart Gnome
Meet Wallace’s latest invention, Norbot - a pre-programmed smart gnome designed to do any kind of gardening task or “gnome improvement”. A quick learner, efficient, incredibly polite and cheerful – Norbot quickly becomes popular with the locals to help with their gardening needs. Until…
Reece Shearsmith (League of Gentleman, Inside No.9) lends his voice to Norbot, first heard in the brand new teaser.
