Movie - Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)

 

My views

Plot

Wallace invents a robotic garden gnome, Norbot, and creates a business hiring it out to work in people's gardens. His dog, Gromit, feels left out and is concerned by Wallace's reliance on technology. Annoyed at Norbot's loud recharging at night, Gromit takes Norbot to the basement and plugs him into a computer to charge.

Feathers McGraw, a penguin apprehended by Wallace and Gromit after stealing the Blue Diamond from the city museum, is imprisoned in a zoo.[a] When he hears about Norbot on television, he hacks into Wallace's computer and reprograms Norbot to serve him and create an army of gnomes. While working at homes around the city, the gnomes steal several objects. Chief Inspector Albert Mackintosh and his new recruit, PC Mukherjee, conclude that Wallace is responsible and confiscate most of his inventions, but do not find the gnomes.

Gromit reclaims Wallace's gnome-tracking device from the police station and tracks the gnomes to the zoo, where he discovers that they have used the stolen objects to build a submarine for Feathers to escape via the sewer network. Feathers spots Gromit and has Norbot cut him from the tree he is hiding in. Gromit and Norbot fall to the ground, and the impact resets Norbot to his original settings.

Gromit goes to the museum where the diamond is being put back on display, but it has been swapped with a turnip. Feathers McGraw hid the real diamond in Wallace's old teapot when he was caught. Gromit returns home, but he and Wallace are captured by the gnomes. Feathers recovers the diamond from the teapot and locks Wallace and Gromit in a cupboard.

Wallace and Gromit use a leaf blower to escape with Norbot. They pursue Feathers down a canal on narrowboats while Mackintosh and Mukherjee pursue on a bicycle. Wallace invents a machine that launches boots at the gnomes, resetting them. Gromit jumps aboard Feathers' narrowboat, but when Feathers sees that the police have blocked the canal, he steers off an aqueduct. With the boat teetering over the edge, Wallace convinces Gromit to surrender the bag containing the diamond to Feathers. Feathers jumps off the narrowboat, which falls, but Gromit is rescued by Norbot and the other gnomes.

Feathers escapes into Yorkshire on a train, but discovers that Gromit switched the diamond with a turnip. Mackintosh praises Mukherjee for trusting her instincts and retires from the force. Wallace returns to inventing, admitting that machines cannot replace the human touch, and Gromit accepts Norbot into their home.

IT - Which Is Faster: find | cpio -pdvm OR rsync?

To determine which is faster between find | cpio -pdvm and rsync for copying a large directory tree locally, we need to consider several factors: the nature of the operation, the tools' design, the system environment, and the specific use case.
