They said film when it was announced. Being as its on the BBC is that 25 minute film? or feature length?
I guess 25mins would seem like lord of the rings trilogy x100 when you are bending the limbs slightly and taking a picture lol.

You can understand why the chicken is angry. Serving 30 years for stealing a Diamond is a very long time. Surprised there wasnt more calls for his early release (or is this another Starmer prisoner early release??)

Penguin. You weren't fooled by the disguise, surely?

Cautiously optimistic about this. On the one hand, I love W&G, but for my money, they've never really recaptured the magic of the first two films.

A Close Shave is brilliant, but not quite as good as The Wrong Trousers.

The Curse of The Were Rabbit is also excellent, but I always feel that, by expanding the universe and adding more characters, it loses some of the essential Wallace and Gromit-ness. And A Matter of Loaf and Death, while still good by any other measure, is a bit of a disappointment compared to the films that came before.

I'm really, really hoping the new film is good.

79 minutes, apparently

It said Netflix didn’t it?
I also thought the teaser highlighted that it was Nick Park again, writer and producer - not the Chicken Run 2 mob, ie he retired and they fked it up so badly he came back before they Disney’d it.

I have high hopes, in Nick we trust.

BBC over Christmas and then Netflix "outside the UK"

Appreciate that Peter Sallis has passed away but Ben Whitehead just does a faux Wallace for me (in the few sound bites we get in the trailer). It sounds more Bob the Baker than Wallace to me unfortunately!
