How to watch Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl
The film will be available for streaming on iPlayer after its broadcast on One. For viewers outside the UK, the film will be globally accessible on from January 3, 2025.
The official synopsis for the film reveals: “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! “.
