‘A Vengeance Most Fowl’ is a comedic commentary
By Danielle Cherry
In the 17 years since Wallace and Gromit’s last appearance, animation has moved through both ultra-realism and stylization, with high-tech tools dominating the medium. Their newest film “A Vengeance Most Fowl” breathes an old-fashioned air into an over-saturated genre.
