Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl's Characters & Voice Cast Guide
The iconic claymation duo is back in Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, with a talented voice cast to bring them to life. The film series, which began with the 1989 animated short A Grand Day Out, is the brainchild of creator Nick Park, who returns as the filmmaker for the latest rendition over thirty years later. Wallace & Gromit movies take ages to make due to the meticulous attention to detail and the difficulty of making claymation films, and it seems even longer in an age where computer effects pump out movies at a rapid pace.
The late Peter Sallis gave his talent to the iconic voice of Wallace in the original Wallace & Gromit movies before passing away in 2017. The new actor, who's voiced the character before in video games, makes his debut as Wallace in film in Vengeance Most Fowl. As usual, Gromit doesn't speak, primarily emoting with facial expressions and gestures, meaning there's no voice actor behind his character. The same goes for the mastermind villain, Feathers McGraw, who makes his grand return in the new movie.
