Who is Feathers McGraw in Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl?
The criminal penguin, Feathers McGraw, was arrested for stealing the Blue Diamond at the end of the 1993 short film, The Wrong Trousers. He returns to cause more chaos in Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. As he is biding his time in the city zoo, the penguin waits for the right moment to exact his revenge on those responsible for his arrest, Wallace and Gromit.
After learning about Norbot from the local news, Feathers hacks into Wallace's computer and reprograms the garden gnome to carry out his evil plans. Norbot assembles an army of gnomes from the spare mechanical parts he collects from all the households he visits for work. This army builds a submarine and uses it to help Feathers escape from the city zoo via the sewers that run beneath his prison cell.
His grand plan involves stealing back the Blue Diamond and he heads to Wallace's house to put his plan into action. After Wallace and Gromit caught him stealing the diamond red-handed years ago at their house, they handed over the bag containing the diamond to Chief Inspector Mackintosh. However, unbeknownst to them, Feathers secretly took out the diamond and hid it in one of Wallace's old teapots, hoping to retrieve it at a later time.
Elsewhere, when Mackintosh goes to collect the precious diamond, which has been in police custody since the theft, he is shocked to find a rotting turnip instead. After Feathers succeeds at retrieving the diamond, Wallace and Gromit give him chase in narrowboats along with Norbot, who has been reprogrammed back to his original self.
During the chase, Gromit grabs hold of the diamond bag, but Feathers threatens to push him to his death if he does not hand over the bag. Wallace pleads with his pet pooch to surrender the bag and save himself. With his diamond in his possession, Feathers makes his escape to Yorkshire at the end of Vengeance Most Fowl. But to his shock, he finds that Gromit has switched the diamond with the turnip again, leaving him utterly frustrated.
In the final moments of the film, Wallace goes back to his peaceful life with Gromit and Norbot, having learned the important lesson that technology has its disadvantages along with its perks.
