Alternate Reality

In a surprising revelation, Nick Park shared that Gromit was initially envisioned as a cat, not a dog, during the early stages of developing Wallace & Gromit. However, practicality led them to choose a dog due to the ease of working with plasticine.

Star-Studded Cast

Peter Kay will join the voice cast, including Ben Whitehead as Wallace and Reece Shearsmith as Norbot. The film also features Lauren Patel as PC Mukherjee, Inspector Mackintosh's young protégé. Vengeance Most Fowl marks the first Wallace & Gromit adventure in 16 years.
