Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl review – the Aardman duo’s return is an absolute delight Almost 20 years since their last outing, the cheese-loving inventor and his ever-dependable dog resume battle with a feathered fiend in this precision-tooled caperAfter last year’s slightly lacklustre Chicken Run sequel, Dawn of the Nugget, it seemed as though Aardman’s hitherto peerless standards might be slipping a tad. But those fears, I am happy to report, were unfounded. The latest feature from the Bristol-based animation studio is an absolute delight.

Instead, she hit the brick wall that is still standard in many schools. “I was offered the option to come back full-time, which would have meant doing the same long hours I was before – or nothing.” With great regret, she felt she had to choose the latter, leaving what she describes as “an amazing 15-year teaching career” and a job she loved and was good at.
