Our cheese lovin' Britbong is back, despite the death of Peter Sallis. It is noticeable several times it's a different voice actor, but passable mostly since his voice isn't exactly hard to do. Just about any random guy from Yorkshire could do a half-decent impression of him.

Feathers McGraw is back, the best villain IMO, for his escape and to reclaim the diamond from a previous episode. And so is the cop from the movie. I would have liked to see the crazy vicar return too, but maybe he died of old age. Feathers aside, the theme of this episode (or does it count as a movie at 1hr 15 runtime?) is Wallace's new invention of a AI smartbot gnome (future prediction probably, just wait until we have AI gadgets that have legs and hands and can move about) that can clean and tidy your garden and wash your butt if you want him to. Wallace gave it a good/evil switch in his programming for some reason, similar to the Krusty doll on the Simpsons once. And you can guess what happens- it becomes evil and that triggers plot stuff happening.

There's a token major female character present same as most every other episode, but this time Wallace doesn't chase her as a potential love interest. Maybe Wallace just doesn't like niggers (she's a DEI, she's unfunny and has too many lines), speaking of which since it's 2024 there's a lot of nigger characters. The puns are there (including some stupid forced ones like a side character called Anton Deck even though Anton and Deck aren't even fucking names), cheese isn't in there as much as I would have liked it to and I don't think Wallace even uttered the word cheese once.

The gnome and the mischief he makes with his clones does look like an "elf on the shelf" rip-off tbh and I thought I would find him annoying when I first saw him, but he has some charm and his desire to keep "Mr Wallace" happy is cute. Wallace's morning getting-ready invention also interestingly carries his naked body through a transparent tube that leads outside, what would Lady Tottingham say if she walked past and saw that?

If you like W&G you'll probably like this one too, just be warned there's a lot of DEI characters in there. If you missed the xmas day showing it's on the pirate bay now if you don't want to wait until it's on Netflix etc

I wonder how many more of the background gags went over your head.

There was another side-character called Onya Doorstep. It's like a Bart Simpson telephone gag except Bart was actually good at it.

And yeah I've seen some of the Youtube shit people are making about this baby series.

btw is it true they ran out of clay for this one and used poop for the black characters hoping no one would notice?

I thought this forum dislikes the niggers?

Anyway my review was just really so I could vent about how much DEI is on TV and movies. The only way to escape it is only watch shit made before around 2010.

Cheese is crack for Wallace if the previous installments are anything to go by. A whiff of Wensleydale brings him back from the dead and when we first met him he went to the Moon to find new cheese to sample.

And since TV watchers are simple-minded and easily influenced, Wallace actually helped saved his favourite cheese:

Cheese, crackers, and wine. The addictions feed the other addictions.

tbf it is a pretty great cheese, it' s just a bit exotic to most brits since it has fruit in it
 
I really really really like this movie.

I feel like they should've had more than one reference to Wallace's love of cheese, that really disappointed me.

The work they did with feather's character is top notch, I loved every bit of it (especially the baby seal).

Where I think they went wrong is trying to fill the plot with the police characters. Referencing the last full movie (The Curse of the Were-Rabbit), the writers filled in the plot with the love interest plot line. Here it feels like the writers forgot to plug the gaps in the plot and just threw in the police plot line instead.

It's probably important for ay future movies ( if they choose to make more) but here it felt like they wasted screen time.

I would have prefered that they focuses more on something else, maybe give feathers more plot, more lore, something like that.

Overall I think the movie was good. I have watched three times with different people and had good time even with the repetion. If you haven't seen I do recommend it despite what I'm going to go on next because these issues don't prevent the movie from function as animated comedy.

I think the black female cop was a handled badly and had maybe little too much screen time. She is mostly functional but has few huge issues. Surprisingly not her exactly but how she and the movie cop play together. She by herself is fine if boring. She plays a part in the plot, her design fits in the world and her voice is pleasant and polite. I actually thought she had few funny moments like talking to a stuck cat bit.

What I think happened was that they had an idea for her character growth, listening your gut instead of just following rules, but didn't really pull it off because how they handled the movie cop. It's clear they supposed to be a buddy cop duo, an energetic newbie and a tired oldie, but they don't give him enough positive attributes. Instead he's implied to have always been a useless cop and he's currently extra bad because he's mentally already retired because he's just about to retire. This is a problem because he's clearly supposed to teach her to be a better cop and is many points situated as the reasonable authority figure others need convince. Her bad attributes are basically being too eager and overbearing, but they don't go far enough with it and it's not paired well with the "copper's gut" lesson so she feels half assed.

Still I didn't find her too distracting. The random blacks and indians in the background felt more out of place. It's clearly supposed to be a smallish British town in the country side but has like every third or fourth person is a darkie. I could have maybe bought that if they didn't speak and emote exactly like the native townies that lived in the same small area for generations. It just made them feel like mandatory DEI placements of roles that were obliviously written for whites.

It was okay, have a feeling people like it more the more nostalgic they are to The Wrong Trousers. They could have probably removed 30 minutes from the film and it would have flowed better, main issue is the plot isn't very interesting, you pretty much know what's going to happen until the last act. None of the new characters are memorable which really makes stuff like the police subplot not work, especially as they barely interact with Wallace. In comparison, Curse of the Were Rabbit just about everyone in the village was great in itself.

As for DEI, it kind of spoils every new media whether intentional or not. The poo in the loo policewoman isn't too bad, she's not overly capable or doesn't fit the world but, like I said, she might as well existed in an entirely separate film.
