It was good to see the pair back on screen again, but it’s a shame that the plot didn’t focus on something new. I also expected a bigger budget with some guest appearances and a bigger voice cast. There were some great cameo appearances on the franchise but they could have included more. What happened to Gromit and Fi-Fi? Some of the advertisement jokes could have done with a bit more screen time. Wallace’s Thunderbirds approach still manages to make an excellent opening scene. Norbert’s jokes are very good, and the character is easily integrated into a quiet urban area with only Gromit initially raising suspicions. The oddity is that I would have thought that penguins could have survived in sewers, though it could be argued that Mcgraw would consider this to be beneath him. Fans of heritage will be happy with the finale with both steam trains and narrowboats featured in the chase. It’s a feel-good film that will appeal to all.
