Bonus film because I am way too excited

 Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (Christmas Day on BBC)


Vengeance Most Fowl isn't technically a rewatch but Wallace and Gromit have always been a Christmas tradition in our house and as much as I love the older films I can't wait to see this.

The highly anticipated feature-length film sees Gromit’s growing concern as Wallace becomes over-dependent on his inventions - which proves justified when Wallace creates a ‘smart gnome’ that seems to develop an evil mind of its own. As events begin to spiral out of control, it’s up to Gromit to put aside his qualms and battle sinister forces, or Wallace may never be able to invent again!
