It was alright. The joy from W&G is basically the audience sympathising and routing for Gromit. There was plenty of Gromit action which was great. The gnomes were a mixed bag as they were cool when they were in ‘creepy mode’ but insufferable otherwise.
Feather’s McGraw is a one note joke already spent, which worked well in the Wrong Trousers but couldn’t prop up a film length feature IMO.
There was a little bit of ‘growth’ in the commentary re: relying on technology but they message was a little mixed in the end. I though that A Matter of Loaf and Death was better in that regard with the romantic interests adding something fresh, especially for Gromit.
A Close Shave remains my fav.
