Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

Today, Aardman's stop-motion animation technology is at its peak, with the smoothness almost like computer production, but still retaining the sophistication and agility of stop-motion. At the same time, the "Dogman" series has been around for decades, with small quantities and high quality. Looking at its new works from today's perspective, they lack some fun. The movie also keeps up with the times and talks about robots. Although this is a slightly outdated concept, it is still advanced in the clay world. If the plot can attract people's attention, it can make up for the backwardness of the concept. However, the story is more cliché than I expected. The implementation of the revenge plan is neither surprising nor exciting. The rebellion of the robots is also within the imagination. However, the protagonist's noise makes me bored. Only the smart dog keeps me watching, and even plays a role of Tom Cruise on the train in the end. "Curse of the Were-Rabbit" made me shine, but now "Revenge of the Penguins" makes me disappointed. I will catch up with the previous work when I have time.

This clay animation actually contains the warmest reminder of our time

In an age surrounded by AI, why can this old-school animation still move people to tears? To be honest, I never thought that "Wallace and Gromit" would have a sequel 31 years later. I remember watching this animation when I was a child, and my favorite character was the silent and dedicated dog Gromit. Now watching it again, I suddenly found that this seemingly old-fashioned animation actually tells a very "modern" story.

The story is quite simple, inventor Wallace started messing around again (yes, he always does this), this time he made an intelligent robot that can do housework. But who knew that this thing was later controlled by the penguin who was in prison for 31 years. Speaking of this penguin, it is really annoying and funny. It has a paralyzed face, but you can tell that it is up to something bad.

Oh, yes, the so-called "maximum security" prison is actually a zoo. This joke made me laugh so hard that I almost fell off the sofa. But on second thought, isn't this just like those smart speakers in real life? They work well normally, but if they are hacked... it's really a bit scary to think about it.

To be honest, the plot may not be particularly fresh. Robots go out of control, villains escape from prison for revenge, this routine seems to be seen everywhere. But who cares, I just like to see these details. For example, Gromit read Woolf's "A Room of One's Own" before going to bed. How can this dog be so cultured? Better than me...

The part about knitting a sweater touched me the most. The robot knitted a perfect sweater in a few seconds, surpassing Gromit's hand-made knitting work that he had been doing for more than ten years. Seeing Gromit's disappointed look, I suddenly remembered that I saw in the news a few days ago that AI can write novels. Would those writers who have been writing silently for a lifetime feel the same way?

There are many Easter eggs hidden in the whole film. The ones I can recognize are the car jump scene in Mission Impossible (I think you have all seen Tom Cruise's super popular movie this year) and the cameo in Shaun the Sheep. But I guess there must be many more that I haven't discovered, so I'll have to watch it again later.

What's interesting is that the scene where the controlled robots all turned their heads at the same time was actually quite scary? This kind of atmosphere change is really amazing, sometimes funny and sometimes scary. By the way, the part about the penguin decorator made me laugh to death. Is this a cosplay of "Sister Act"?

Honestly, maybe because I waited too long, I didn't feel the same surprise when I watched this sequel as a kid. But I think it's pretty good, at least it doesn't blindly pursue cool special effects, but insists on telling stories with the most traditional clay animation. In this era where everything is fast, this kind of persistence is really not easy.

The biggest feeling after watching the movie is: when we are surrounded by all kinds of smart devices, shouldn’t we also think about whether some things really need to be so "smart"? Just like the last sentence of the movie, "Have you petted the dog today?" Why does this sound so heartbreaking?

I heard that there is a plot hole at the end of the film, and it seems that there will be a sequel. As an old fan, I just want to say: Brothers, can you be faster next time? I will be an old man if I wait for another 31 years, okay...

This is the first time I have watched this series of movies. I saw the introduction of the director in the movie introduction. He is a master. I saw good feedback, so I thought about watching it. What surprised me most was (as my title suggests): the subtle transitions, the connection between the story and the scenes, the connection between the beginning and the end (no setting or scene is wasted), and the connection between the character of the protagonist and social hot spots.

1. Silent transition: Silent cunning (the robot's other secret room in the basement of the room, after the turn of this scene, the sound of water drops 💧 reflects the location of the real secret room. One link after another, the interlocking transition, the foreshadowing (like resetting the system, etc.), the plot connection is high (like the light bulb 💡), the appearance of each object has its meaning, not just a decoration, but for carving. When seeing the robot activate the restart device, the inspiration to turn bad into good, found the key to turn defeat into victory The film is consistent and suspenseful: When I watched it to the end, I finally understood the meaning of the beginning of the story (I actually went back and watched it again, but I only knew what the story was about, but not the deep meaning), and the ending was very similar to the ending of Mission Impossible (the bad guy didn't take the key 🔑, but something else, just like in this movie, the diamond 💎🙅——🙆 was a carrot. It was a bit surprising I also saw irony in the movie, when both parties were chasing each other, but they didn’t know that the sailing was very slow (through the old lady walking on the road, it really made me laugh out loud)
2. The right things should be given to the right people, or at least to those who really need them. This will achieve twice the result with half the effort. Take robots for example—they are efficient, but not humane. If they are just programmed, they will cause endless troubles. This also implies the potential and limitations of artificial intelligence. How to properly control it is the key.

Movie Wallace and Gromit - Revenge of the Penguin YYDS Like puppet animation, clay animation is a type of stop-motion animation, which is produced by frame-by-frame shooting. The production of a clay animation includes script creativity, character setting and production, prop scene production, shooting, synthesis and other processes. Clay animation works can be regarded as works of art in animation. Because clay animation relies heavily on hand-made production in the pre-production process, hand-made production determines that clay animation has simple, primitive, colorful, natural, three-dimensional and dreamy artistic characteristics. Clay animation is a comprehensive artistic expression that integrates multiple artistic features such as literature, painting, music, photography, and film. However, the production of clay animation is extremely cumbersome, and its artistic value is separated from its commercial value. Clay animation always has a tragic feeling of watching one less. Fortunately, the world's top stop-motion animation production company, the British Aardman Animation Studio, launched a new work of Wallace and Gromit in 2024. This series has been popular in the entertainment industry for more than ten years and has never collapsed. The ceiling of the comedy industry is still being updated regularly, which is not easy. Disadvantages: The story is old-fashioned, and the new characters, the police and the robot, lack recognition. There are not many jokes, and the head dog appears too little. Advantages: Clay animation, YYDS! This is a belief, bring me to your side!
