The latest feature from the Bristol-based animation studio is an absolute delight. Directed by Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, Vengeance Most Fowl revisits the tried-and-tested Aardman formula: affable absurdity combined with precision-tooled comic timing and a selection of deliciously silly jokes about cheese. No task is too menial or simple to be massively overcomplicated by one of his technological innovations, while the faithful Gromit serves up tea, crumpets and exasperated eye-rolls.
With his impassive beady black eyes and a rubber glove repurposed as headgear when he's feeling especially devious, the dastardly bird remains one of the most chilling antiheroes ever created out of plasticine.
