Showtimes

10:30 a.m. — Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

(approx. 72 minutes)

Netflix and Aardman’s four-time Academy Award®️–winning director Nick Park and Emmy Award–nominated Merlin Crossingham return with a brand new epic adventure, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. In this next installment, Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that seems to develop a mind of its own. When it emerges that a vengeful figure from the past might be masterminding things, it falls to Gromit to battle sinister forces and save his master . . . or Wallace may never be able to invent again!

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl will begin streaming on Netflix Jan 3, 2025.
