Ah, good ol' Christmas Day.Theday when TV specials are out in force, bringing additional festive cheer. And Wallace & Gromit’s latest animation,A Vengeance Most Fowl, has now been shown on the BBC – ahead of its Netflix streaming date on 3 January 2025.

I’ve been looking forward to the latest Wallace & Gromit caper since its October reveal – where I half-forgot that it’s31 years since the previous Feathers McGraw episode aired!– as have my T3 colleagues, with international viewers no doubt eager for one ofNetflix’s most anticipated new movies to drop.

Fantastic Mr Fox

One of director Wed Anderson’s classics, this take on the Roald Dahl 1970 classic book is beautifully shot – every frame is stop-motion animated, just how Wallace & Gromit is painstakingly created.

George Clooney voices Mr Fox in fine style, but what’s so appealing about this tale is its multi-generational appeal – some in the family may remember the original book at bedtime, while little’uns may have never seen or heard about it.

It’s a classic story, depicting three farmers who get so hung up on trying to capture Mr Fox and his family after he steals some food to feed his family, that they lose sight of their ways. Morals abound, but charm aplenty – it’s a great watch for the whole family.

Inside Out 2 | Official Trailer - YouTube

Disney+ is a prime source of animated movies, and you’ll find all of Pixar’s extensive catalogue on this streaming service – the latest of which is the sequel toInside Out(also very much worth watching!), which depicts emotions inside a young girl’s head.

Get all the latest news, reviews, deals and buying guides on gorgeous tech, home and active products from the T3 experts

Inside Out 2is all computer animation, of course, but there’s a real style and accessibility to Pixar’s vision. The instantly visible emotion carved on each character’s face in this ‘inside the mind’ movie about growing up will captivate children and adults alike.

Viewers really loved this sequel, too, with its95% Rotten Tomatoes scoreshowing how its wit and comedy won peoples' hearts. The addition of anxiety (among others) as a new emotion feels very of the moment, yet something we can all understand at any age.

I watchedThe Super Mario Bros. Movieat the cinema upon release and loved it, and since it recently appeared for streaming on Sky Movies and NOW in the UK (it’s Peacock Premium for the US) I’ve watched it again – and it’s still right up there as a brilliant movie for all the whole family.

While critics didn’t seem to get it, again it’s the fans that loved Mario and Luigi’s escapades here, with the flicknetting a healthy 95% Rotten Tomatoes score. 1-Up! This one’s full of action, making it a thrill-ride from beginning to end.

Wall-e

Back to Disney+ again, this time for a true classic that entertains as much as it pulls on the heart-strings – yet remaining poignant for its very relevant message about climate disaster.

Wall-e is a lone robot with the impossible task of cleaning the uninhabitable planet Earth – a task which he’s been carrying out for 700 years. So when Eve – a probe sent back to Earth to scan whether it’s inhabitable once more – appears, Wall-e is smitten.

Wall-e could well be Pixar’s greatest movie – quite an astounding achievement given that there’s zero dialogue for about half of the movie’s. That’s true power – a great measure and a strong reflection of how this flick’s incredible visuals will keep viewers of any age glued to the screen.
