Saw Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, a fun little film that follows Wallace and Gromit as they once again match wits with the villainous Feathers McGraw. Also adding to the madness: Wallace has created a robot which is comically irritating. The film is fairly fun, but contains a lot of in-jokes and references to older shorts and movies. It's not important to know all the lore, but you'll understand the joke of having Wallace run into the farmer from Shaun the Sheep, for example.
Anyhow, the antagonist, Feathers McGraw comes from The Wrong Trousers which is my favorite Wallace and Gromit short. It doesn't quite match that one's climactic chase sequence, but it delivers on the homey, goofy feel of the franchise. It didn't quite meet my expectations, but in fairness my expectations were sky-high.
If you've seen the other Wallace & Gromit movies, you know what to expect.
