Shaun the Sheep fans will have enjoyed spotting a cameo from the farmer of Mossy Bottom Farm in recent outing Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, a film that also included an even briefer cameo from a version of Gromit that’s older than most of the audience would have been.

Vengeance Most Fowl' is the latest addition to the stop-motion franchise but only the second full-length feature

Nick Park’s beloved pair faces off against the dastardly penguin Feathers McGraw in this stop-motion feature.

Nick Park, co-director and creator of 'Wallace and Gromit,' and Merlin Crossingham, co-director and Aardman's Creative Director, enthuse about the iconic duo's return.

The new outing comes 16 years after the duo’s last story in A Matter of Loaf and Death, and follows the pair as Wallace’s latest creation, a ‘smart gnome’, gets hacked by villainous penguin Feathers McGraw and wreaks havoc on the community.

Vengeance Most Fowl also doesn’t clutter up the storyline with too many extra characters – just the return of Peter Kay’s pleasingly pompous and rather inefficient police officer from The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, now a chief inspector, and his bright and plucky protegee, PC Mukherjee (Lauren Patel).
