Aardman Animations co-founder Peter Lord has confirmed that the next Wallace and Gromit movie will feature a robotic gnome as the villain. The movie, expected to be released by Netflix this Christmas, will take place in Wallaceland, a setting characterized by industrial buildings, terraces, and canals. In this adventure, Wallace has gone overboard with inventing machines for various purposes, including a robotic gnome.
The plot will revolve around Gromit's concern about Wallace's reliance on his inventions, which proves valid when the robotic gnome gains sentience. As usual, it falls to Gromit to overcome his reservations and thwart the emerging threat posed by the smart gnome.
