It made me laugh at parts, but nothing landed with any real punch. The things it does that are new feel unnecessary and things it calls back to feel tired. This doesn’t feel like a movie; it feels like a product—more of a brand than someone’s passion project. Wallace and Gromit has always been something real, something authentic, and it’s honestly exhausting to see it cheaply made for Netflix.
Peter Sallis, the voice actor for Wallace passed away in 2017, and I couldn’t shake that while watching this. Not that any of the voice acting underperforms, just that it felt hallow.
It pains me to say, but it all felt hallow…
