Well-meaning Wallace invents a practical gardening robot named Norbot, but he inadvertently deprives Gromit of his only outlet for relaxation. Things get out of hand when their old nemesis, Feathers McGraw, hacks into Norbot. The first Wallace & Gromit animation in more than 15 years and the second one in feature length since The Curse of the Wear Rabbit (2005) is another resounding success. The memorable villain from The Wrong Trousers (1993) returns, and the resulting film is full of terrific puns, hilarious sight gags, and thrilling set pieces.
