![Wallace & Gromit - A Matter of Loaf and Death [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KNaTfrhOL.jpg)
Product Description Another dollop of animated mirth and mayhem with the cheese-loving inventor Wallace (voice of Peter Sallis) and his long-suffering dog Gromit. This time around, the pair have converted their home into the 'Top Bun' bakery - complete with rooftop windmill - but with 12 local bakers having mysteriously gone missing, Gromit worries that they'll soon make up the baker's dozen. Wallace meanwhile is oblivious to the danger, having fallen head over heels for former Bake-O-Lite bread babe, Piella Bakewell (voice of Sally Lindsay). With his master otherwise engaged, it's up to Gromit to rise to the occasion and solve the mystery before Wallace becomes the next victim of the cereal killer. .co.uk Review Just how good is it to have Wallace & Gromit back in their natural home? A Matter Of Loaf and Death finds the pair back in a half hour format, with the plasticine duo in charge of a thriving bakery. Business is going well, and nothing could seemingly go wrong… Only it soon does. Because A Matter Of Loaf and Death introduces the Cereal Killer, a mysterious figure who has been killing all of the other bakers in town. Wallace, of course, is oblivious to all of this, going about his work with his merry asides and gleeful naivety. And this time his faithful hound, Gromit, is too distracted to notice any impending threat too, courtesy of his growing attraction to another hound by the name of Fluffles. It’s quite a recipe, and makes for a very entertaining half hour. While A Matter Of Loaf and Death isn’t quite up to the highs of the pair’s adventures to date, it nonetheless finds Wallace & Gromit, and Aardman Animations, in very strong form. The level of attention and detail here is quite astounding, and the script is as packed with wry gags for the older viewers as it is with material for the youngsters. In fact, if you cut it down the middle, the words ‘family entertainment’ would be found running right through the middle of it. Because A Matter Of Loaf and Death not only sprinkles in lots of laughs, at-times stunning animation and a fair amount of storytelling, it’s genuinely entertainment that anyone can enjoy. More, please… --Simon Brew

A Matter Of Loaf & Death is Crackin'
the highlight on the box on Christmas Day,and what can i tell you but it is an enjoyable experience for absolutaly everyone so much that this is the duo's most fantastically hilarious adventure yet.it is surprising how detailed the storyline is given that its runtime is just under half an hour,but that is the joy of Wallace & Gromit,it has so much ligh heated humour for you to take in you can enjoy it way more than once.this is full of references to popular culture and other films such as (Ghost,Aiens,and even The Matrix)and with a 'cereal' killer on the loose the possibilities of slapstick is endless, and it delivers by the mill load.it was so great that this aired at the end of such a fabulous day so all my family could sit and watch it after unwrappng the tree presents,having some tea, and a slice of Chritmas Cake.a true natured special episode that i cannot wait to see again,nd again,and you get the idea.highly recommended purchase.

Another masterpiece from Nick Park
Our favourite stop-motion characters are back and Wallace falls in love for the third time ... Again his love is not to be. Gromit, however, seems to fair a bit better (what did you expect?).This fourth short film is BUSY. Several times I had to rewind to catch all the action. And clever! You need to keep an eye on background detail, because nothing is left unconsidered.Being a devoted fan of Wallace & Gromit, my review is probably in danger of being somewhat one-sided - I refuse to find any fault with this outing. Thinking that it might be over-priced for a half-hour film, I'm glad I paid the price anyway. You cannot really put a price on such a gem!Nick Park and his collaborators from Aardman once again brought these lovable characters to life with the patience and care we've become spoiled with in the previous three outings. (Not to mention the magnificent achievement in the Were-Rabbit movie.)

Gromit and Wallace
Both are equal stars in the quintessential English animation, so for once lets reverse positional prominence! Anyway, this latest outing is up there with the rest of them. It has all the sight gags, Northern English humour etc. It may not be the absolute best of the series but is certainly up their with them; ranking of the whole series will probably come down to personal preference anyway, but its content is of the very high standard set previously. I saw it in Blu Ray and it does look very good. (According to other reviewers, the earlier Wallace and Gromit outings in Blu Ray show up a bit too much detail of the animator's thumb prints etc.).

Anarchic and gentle, this is the world of Wallace and Gromit.
potentially the plasticine world of W&G could generate thousand stories, but our guys just produced a bunch of fantastic films.As usual the technique and visual creativity of the scenes is as delicious as amazing, and it is all conducted with a mix of naif and gentleness ad some crazy and anarchic spirit that comes up every now and then, in the unexpected action and reaction of the characters and some subtext where you can tell who made these films is not a bunch of innocent guys.A mix that makes this film, too, enjoyable by everyone and intelligent as well.Blu ray is of course excellent

Wallace & Gromit - A Matter of Load & Death. Blue Ray edition.
Yet another outstanding outing for the dynamic duo. Peter Sallis is a living legend. Lots of in-jokes involving British popular culture and Northern ways (which might be lost on an International audience) - but not a problem if you're a fan anyway. Unfortunately it is only just over 30 minutes long - but every minute is worth it. Think of it as a cross between Last Of The Summer Wine & a 1950's Ealing Comedy!

Just brilliant!
I'd been after this DVD since I heard about A Matter of Loaf and Death. Once the order was placed it arrived in next to no time, and we put it on almost immediately. Laughed and laughed! It's fun, funny and technically very clever. There's a lovely hint of Hitchcock in the visuals. Poor Wallace falls for the wrong woman yet again. Gromit puts up with a lot yet again, and shows just what a faithful friend he is. We all thoroughly enjoyed it.
