The "Wallace and Gromit" team unpack how they designed and animated the happy, nifty Norbot from "Vengeance Most Fowl."

Over the years, Feathers has popped up in other Aardman productions. In the 1995 Wallace and Gromit adventure “A Close Shave,” which also won the Academy Award, when Gromit gets sent to prison, there’s graffiti in his cell that reads “Feathers was ‘ere.” And the character can be seen, for a single frame, in a scene later on in the short.

One of the most involved scenes in the film takes place at the end, where Gromit pursues Feathers through an aqueduct on a “high-speed” boat chase. This scene was one of the more collaborative in the film, requiring every department to lend a hand.

Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, now Oscar-nominated for the film, also discuss unlocking a superpower of Britishness and why Netflix was the right home for the movie.
