Aardman has still got it, Wallace and Gromit are as fun as ever. There are a bunch of callbacks and references to the previous films, but Vengeance Most Fowl also has plenty of new gags and wacky hijinks. I don't think they'll ever top the chase scene from The Wrong Trousers though.

This is really just two hours of old men standing or sitting around and talking, but it does make for some great political intrigue. The script wastes no time with stuff you can anticipate or infer, instead focusing on the unexpected and shocking.

I appreciated that the story had actual coherent themes and messages without being too preachy (despite literally being about priests), which is rare.

The characters are fun, and they have interesting relationships, but they resolve all their personal problems long before the actual climax. The mechas and monsters are traditionally 2D animated…
