THE 2024 RETURN OF FEATHERS MCGRAW… Every Appearance Since 1993 🎥

[@MRWALL.i6732]

I think what makes Feathers so iconic is the whole idea of him, on paper, he sounds like a James Bound villain but he just happens to be in the body of a penguin, one of the most harmless animals, which adds the comical element to work within the Wallace and Gromit world, another thing to point out is, much like Gromit, he is aware of how stupid most of the humans are, but unlike Gromit, he uses it for his own plans, great video BTW :)

[@LuisLovesFilm]

Exactly! This is EXACTLY what makes him so successful so that is amazing you have recognised that! 😁 He is a perfectly written character! Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed!! Merry Christmas and I hope to see you back again! 😊🎄

[@danielwilson8604]

one of the best parts is that, as a penguin, his face is very simple and SHOULD be cute. but it's terrifying. he has a near constant alien expression you just cannot read.

[@minicle426]

Feathers coming back is all well and dandy. But I hope Cooker will one day make a return to the series. At least we finally got its backstory in Star Wars Visions.

[@lukethomas.125]

And perhaps tie in the wrong trousers too

[@Tone_f]

Wallace didn't create the techno trousers he bought them from NASA. He does say that they're ex-NASA and cost him a lot of money, hence the reason he had to let his spare room out to try and get back some of the money he spend so he could pay his bills.

[@LuisLovesFilm]

@@Tone_f ya! We did cover that in the video a little later on :)

[@keithorbell8946]

I grew up with Trumpton, the Wombles, even Paddington, all stop motion. And of course Morph, first with Tony Hartt, and then in his own show. Ardmann have taken stop motion to a whole new level, initially with the British Gas Creature Comforts adverts, followed up with their own show, and of course Wallace and Gromit. The latest is fantastic, a brand new story which fits the three main characters (W&G and Feathers).

[@JackTheWind]

Chicken Run takes place in late 1953, (as seen on a newspaper in the sequel) September or October at the earliest and the escape happens on either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd of November. Chicken Run 2 would then take place in 1963 as that’s when nuggets were invented

[@LuisLovesFilm]

@@JackTheWind ooo thanks dude!! 10 years is still a long time for chickens!! It’s all ever so confusing 😂

[@JackTheWind]

@ that’s a rule with talking animal movies, they never play by nature’s rules. Instead they play by Green Mile rules 😂

[@LuisLovesFilm]

@ you couldn’t have put it better 😂😂

[@daviszdirector]

So let get this straight: Feathers began his life of crime in early 1960s. Wallace and Gromit seems to take place in the 90's so this mf was on this shit for 30 years! Then he was caught by Trumper from Shaun the Sheep, which seems to take place in the early 2010s. THATS AN OLD ASS PENGUIN

[@Flakey05]

They have been hinting it for almost 30 years 😳

[@LuisLovesFilm]

I KNOW!! I am so so excited for it and LOVE these sort of Easter Eggs 😁

[@Owenjedi5000]

It's strange seeing Feathers McGraw in the first Chicken Run movie. The other Wallace and Gromit movies such as Curse of the Ware-Rabbit, A Close Shave and A Matter of Loaf and Death, the 2008 short film, this maybe the first scene of Feathers McGraw because of the ladder and the missing penguin poster or that could be another penguin?

[@nathonso_edits]

One of the greatest villains ever put to film

[@LuisLovesFilm]

[@Ryder-z2e]

He also appeared on a wanted poster in Amphibia season 3 outside the museum

[@LuisLovesFilm]

@Ryder-z2e ooo okay thank you!!! Tbh there are soooooo many Easter eggs to other shows in Amphibia 😂😂

[@loganhillman7448]

11:16, you can see Gromit's ears just in front of Wallace.

[@LuisLovesFilm]

Wooo!! I got my fingers crossed and holding my breath because I am READY to see the return of Feathers 😁

[@handwriting8804]

Wallace didn’t build the robo trousers he bought them (I always assumed from nasa themselves), that’s why they’re tight on money and need to rent out the room.

[@darthmarticusLFC]

Don’t see why Project Zoo isn’t canon. His escape is even teased in 2002 in the Catch of the Day comic.

[@KevinMcMullin_TV]

Did you go to the Manchester Animation Festival? Nick mentioned many of these sightings there

[@LuisLovesFilm]

@@KevinMcMullin_TV ooo no I didn’t!! I defo want to go next time though 😂 I did see him mention a lot of these! Would love to meet the man behind it all 😁

[@KevinMcMullin_TV]

@@LuisLovesFilm I went with @LauraPAnimator ( I'm a live-action guy who just loves Animator, she is the artistic one!) - we got very close to meeting Nick and Merlin in person but in the end had to settle for seeing Wallace, Gromit, Feathers and Norbot in the clay, as it were. Well worth the trip to MAF

[@ellisorkad]

The first chicken run takes place somewhere between WW2 or 1960s Yorkshire while the sequel dawn of the nugget takes place in 1962 3 years after the first so the first one would take place in 1959 but Wallace and Gromit takes place 1990s Britain so it kinda makes sense that feathers McGraw is seen in dawn of the nugget, probably he was younger back then in CR2 due to the fact that penguins can live up to 15-20 years

[@LuisLovesFilm]

But then it doesn’t make sense due to the technology seen in Chicken Run 2 that’s the predicament! Of course of of the chickens supposedly served in the War which is great eveidence of when it’s set but then that has been completely thrown out the window with some of the tech and items seen the sequel. It’s very possible that Wallace and Gromit takes place years after Chicken Run and that Feathers is with them in Dawn of the Nugget, the only issue is that if he DID purchase the gloves from Wendolines shop (as it is suggested) then he wouldn’t have the glove on his head in the sequel. The timeline physically cannot make sense without more clarity :/

[@ellisorkad]

@@LuisLovesFilm this is true, but the technology of the 60s where pretty advanced, also not to mention the design of the van that takes Molly away and the sir eats a lot van being models that resembles the vans of the 1950s and 1960s. You are right about the tech seen in the film being Way too advanced for the 60s, but I’d probably put that down as the tension plot point of the film. Due to the fact the farm of the first movie resembling the average British home front farm. It really doesn’t make sense that Mrs tweedy would have the tech to make fun land farms. That’s where I’m baffled about it, also there were a lot of buildings that represented futuristic design, for example Disney lands house of the future. (A bit of real life diving here) there were a lot of technological advancement due to the Second World War. So I do think AARDMAN took this and thought “hey let’s make this and over exaggerate it” With the traps I genuinely agree with you that the evidence is completely irrelevant when AARDMAN reveals the technology in the farm. I feel like it’s both due to it being fiction and for creativity or perhaps showing how Mrs tweety has probably learned from her mistakes from the first film. Like with the chicken mind control stuff I think that is for comedic purposes. We gotta remember that this is a cartoon that takes heavy inspiration from mission impossible, so a lot of technology would be over complicated due to the fact that it’s fictional, a lot of media do tend to take historical events and eras and add impossible technology into said era. Also with the glove situation it’s probably a different brand or something like that, it is known that feathers McGraw is introduced before wendoline is even introduced in a close shave 2 years after the wrong trousers still with the glove on, maybe he did steal it or maybe he has worn that stanky glove on his head for 20 years 😂. His backstory maybe explained in vengeance most foul.

[@ellisorkad]

To be honest the Wallace and gromit franchise is quite all over the place with introducing new characters and forgetting about old one like in the were rabbit where we see the town folk of wallaby st. Also in the telltale game they’re all completely changed. It’s quite confusing 🫤 although it could just be an Easter egg and just to get W&G fans excited. You do make some very good points though.

[@LuisLovesFilm]

@ yeah that’s a FANTASTIC explanation, thank you so much for these comments! I fully agree and tbh I think however they will show off this Norbot Gnome will confirm more when W&G takes place. Of course if it uses modern tech it’ll be more confusing but if they still have dated tech in anyway then it could solidify that 1960s era! It’s a tricky one, especially we we don’t ever actually get dates!

[@ellisorkad]

@LuisLovesFilm hey np my man! I'm quite a history person a young one but still. I'm glad to have helped

[@lightscameraadammagri4782]

What did you expect ? 4:50

[@LuisLovesFilm]

It’s a just joke 😁 He is very obviously a penguin with or without the hat 😅

[@chris-zilla2113]

😂😂😂

[@TheCreator-zx4lb]

I don’t think that Wallace is considered Feathers McGraw’s nemesis too I think it’s just Gromit VS Feathers featuring Wallace

[@LuisLovesFilm]

Well until now! Not sure if you’ve seen the new film so I won’t spoil but let’s just say it probably won’t be the end!

Wallace didn't invent the techno trousers, they were ex-NASA

[@Nathaniel-454]

First I Like Wallace and Gromit, personally I Like The Wrong Trousers Because It Is Cinematic…. I Understand About The Part Gromit Left Wallace With The Raincoat On Him…… Personally… I Thought Fluffies From The Matter Of Loaf And Death Was In It

I actually don’t think there is a bad Wallace and Gromit character

[@Nathaniel-454]

@ Me too.. There Might Be Another Wallace and Gromit Film.. Wallace Might Die…. 😱😱😱😱😱 That Would Mean Wallace And Gromit Is Over

[@AcGd-f7d]

Maybe Wallace appears in early man because he invented a time machine.

[@LuisLovesFilm]

@AcGd-f7d my thoughts exactly!!

[@chrisnewman7281]

I wonder if we’re going to see any prequels in the Wallace and Gromit universe

I would LOVE a feathers prequel 😂

[@datprawn4850]

Feathers McGraw also appeared in ReBoot

[@LuisLovesFilm]

@@datprawn4850 indeed!! We do cover that in the video itself 😁 Not that he should have appeared as Aardman never actually gave permission to use him but 😂

[@olivertunnah3987]

I don't think these are physical appearances as VMF suggests he has been in the zoo (in Lancashire not Yorkshire) the whole time. Appearances of Feathers would be nothing more than Easter Eggs.

[@LuisLovesFilm]

@@olivertunnah3987 well you’d be right HOWEVER if we wanted to be fun and think it was more (which it may not be of course) it actually confirms the W&G timeline which we plan to cover in the new year!

[@savvadance7006]

Do you mean the First Animated Movie was in a Zoetrope that started by William George Horner in 1833.

[@LuisLovesFilm]

@savvadance7006 not really, a movie wouldn’t be able to be created in a zoetrope. A zoetrope is a series of images with different movement intervals (much like any animation) however because of what the system is it’s not possible to create an animation longer than a few seconds. The system uses a circular system which means it plays in a loop - a ‘movie or film’ would not work, only small animated sequences such as the ones shown in my video. You are correct though WGH did found it in 1833. The first Animated ‘Movie’ in terms of feature films was Snow White in 1923 and the first fully 3D feature was 1995 Toy Story 😊
