Best Parts

There are a few winks to the original movies that will get a giggle or two along the way. The silent characters are easily the best and they tell more of a story with their emotions.
Worst Parts
The movie struggles to get enough laughs out of the human characters. Add in the Norbot being more annoying, which is part of the design. For a nostalgic movie, it doesn’t get enough out of what made the ideas so entertaining, which the longer-form stories have always s struggled to cope with.
Final Thoughts –Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is an entertaining addition to the series.
