In the United Kingdom, it will premiere on Christmas Day on BBC One and on the BBC iPlayer streaming service. It’s the second feature-length outing forWallace and GromitfollowingThe Curse of the Were-Rabbitin 2005, the first sinceA Matter of Loaf and Deathin 2008, and, overall, the sixth production from the geniuses at Aardman, who have once again miraculously put this together.
In the trailer, we see Wallace (played byBen Whitehead, who takes over from the latePeter Sallis) and Gromit trying to live their quiet lives as Feathers, who was imprisoned for his attempted heist, escapes from jail. Meanwhile, Gromit starts to worry that Wallace is relying on his new-fangled inventions a bit too much and that fear soon comes to fruition when his latest toy turns against him. The movie’s official synopsis reads:
“Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that seems to develop an evil mind of its own. When it emerges that a vengeful figure from the past might be masterminding things, it falls to Gromit to battle sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again!”
