The new Wallace & Gromit movie is good for some laughter and entertainment, but there's a subtle, important parody also at work in the film.

Wallace & Gromit are returning to screens tonight (December 25) with a brand-new Aardman adventure. However, it’s not just the treasured cheese-loving duo that are making a comeback as their new film will also see the highly anticipated return of the villainous chicken penguin Feathers McGraw.

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.
