Richard Hansom takes fans through the film Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl with this new artbook from Titan Books. With a special look behind-the-scenes of creating the film, concept art, sketches by Nick Park, and interviews with some of the crew, the book is a definite piece of joy for fans of Wallace & Gromit.
For those who haven’t seen the film, here’s a quick description:
In Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, 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!
A story about the danger of letting technology compromise our humanity and get in the way of our relationships.
Stop-Motion animation is definitely not an easy thing to make, even if The Art of Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl makes it almost look simple. It is a perfect coffee table book for the stop-motion aficionado.
The Art of Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is now available from Titan Books.
