Netflix has just released a new featurette going behind-the-scenes on Aardman’s latest animated gem, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, that hits the streamer tomorrow, January 3. The video showcases a very exuberant actor Ben Whitehead, the voice of Wallace, the eccentric, cheese-loving inventor from the North of England, as he talks elongated vowels, phonetic sounds, and how “necessity is the mother-in-law of invention.” Walk through the recording process as the actor breaks down how “cheese” becomes “cheeeeeese” and other notable Wallace-isms.
