Vengeance Most Fowl, the pair's first full-length feature film in 19 years, will see the hapless inventor and his canine companion face their arch-enemy, the evil penguin Feathers McGraw.

Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is the pair's second feature-length film in the franchise, following The Curse of the Were-Rabbit in 2005.

A herd of Irish Dexter cows, a passel of New Zealand Kunekune pigs, Babydoll Southdown sheep and assorted feathered fowl are just part of the menagerie living among fruit trees, vegetable gardens and lush native plants along a swale to capture rainwater.

Whispers of a “fowl plague” date back to the late 19th Century, while H5N1 specifically was first detected in 1996 in Chinese geese.

Previous publicity for Vengeance Most Fowl revealed te film will see Wallace develop a "smart gnome" that seems to have a mind of its own.
