Wallace and Gromit have opened a new bakery - Top Bun - and business is booming, not least because a deadly Cereal Killer has murdered all the other bakers in town. Gromit is worried that they may be the next victims, but Wallace couldn't care - he's fallen head over heels in love with Piella Bakewell, former star of the Bake-O-Lite bread commercials. So Gromit is left to run things on his own, when he'd much rather be getting better acquainted with Piella's lovely pet poodle Fluffles. But then Gromit makes a shocking discovery which points to the killer's true identity. Can he save his master from becoming the next baker to be butchered? And does Fluffles know more than she is saying? (2 Entertain Video)

My first encounter with Wallace and Gromit turned out really well, in the form of an enjoyable English "plasticine" animated film. It has a catchy theme, a solid plot and plenty of funny scenes, like the potter's wheel from Ghost or the murder of the baker at the beginning. As I always say, the English can create with grace!

Thank god for Gromit. That kid with the long ears can act anything with his minimalist acting and lack of lines. And it is his deep-felt performance that powers this latest escapade with the most entertaining Plasticine duo ever. Although this is one of the weaker episodes, the phrase “weaker Wallace and Gromit" is still a guarantee of quality; there’s not much that would equal them. If anything.

Yes, I could criticize The Question of Loaf and Death for the fact that the story is no longer very original for the standards of Wallace and Gromit, but I don’t want to, and I’m giving it a full rating. Amazing how you can be moved by the sight of a plasticine dog.

It follows the classic Gromit template and the story is very silly, but everything is saved by the final action-packed minutes and a bunch of brilliant film quotes, especially those from Ghost and Aliens are among the funniest ever.
