I Finally Watched Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, And It’s Everything I Wanted The Electric State To Be

SPOILER ALERT: The following article gives away key details from Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl and from The Electric State. So, if you have not watched either of these new Netflix movies, I recommend you proceed in a state of caution as you read on.

I am not a fan of The Electric State, and not just because I agree with critics that it is a soulless, mediocre tentpole project. The new sci-fi movie, set in a dystopian 1990s inhabited by VR-obsessed humans and sentient robots, especially bothered me as a technophobe who believes its technological commentary is, somehow, both self-contradicting and ultimately empty. It had me longing for Black Mirror Season 7, so I could see a Netflix title that might actually have something interesting to say about technology.

Little did I know that I would not have to wait very long to use my Netflix subscription to find the thought-provoking tech commentary that The Electric State failed to deliver for me. In fact, it was only a week later. The title in question is Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, which I think deserved its 2025 Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature as a delightful, family-friendly adventure but, much to my surprise, it’s also one of the most profound tech satires I have seen so far this year. Allow me to explain…
